2017 NFL Power Rankings: Week 2

The Patriots are still the NFL's best team, per our metrics, despite their Week 1 loss. Where does the rest of the league rank after one week of play?

Well, that was a strange start to the season.

With one week of action in the books, the three most productive quarterbacks in the league are Sam Bradford, Alex Smith, and Jared Goff. Just like we all thought they'd be when training camps opened up back in July.

The results also had an impact on our power ratings. New England remains on top, but their nERD score was nearly halved after a 42-27 loss to Kansas City. Only the Indianapolis Colts saw a bigger decline in nERD, while Goff's Los Angeles Rams gained the most after dominating those Colts.

Where does the rest of the league rank now that Week 1 is in the rearview mirror? Let's see what our metrics say.
