| 1. | 1. | Denver Broncos | 2-0 | Not looking forward to watching them on Monday night at Mile High against the Raiders. |
| 2. | 3. | Seattle Seahawks | 2-0 | Returned to the formula that won them games in the first 10 or so games of 2012, get the ball to Lynch and get out of the way. |
| 3. | 4. | New Orleans Saints | 2-0 | Rob Ryan has turned around the defense at least in the early going. |
| 4. | 5. | Houston Texans | 2-0 | The new cardiac kids pulled out another late victory thanks this week to rookie Hopkins. |
| 5. | 2. | San Francisco 49ers | 1-1 | Steamrolled in Seattle managing only 107 passing, 207 total yards. |
| 6. | 6. | New England Patriots | 2-0 | Pulled out a win despite having more punts (11) than first downs (9). |
| 7. | 7. | Green Bay Packers | 1-1 | Took out frustration of opening loss in SF on Washington. |
| 8. | 8. | Atlanta Falcons | 1-1 | Won their 13th straight after a loss. Haven’t lost back-to-back games since 2009. |
| 9. | 9. | Chicago Bears | 2-0 | Cutler provided fourth quarter heroics for a second straight week. |
| 10. | 12. | Cincinnati Bengals | 1-1 | Won in spite of Dalton. |
| 11. | 16. | Baltimore Ravens | 1-1 | Gave up 43 less points than in the opener, the difference between playing the Broncos and Browns. |
| 12. | 19. | Kansas City Chiefs | 2-0 | Undefeated Reid returns to Philly on Thursday night. |
| 13. | 23. | Miami Dolphins | 2-0 | Tannehill while not outplaying Luck at least matched him. |
| 14. | 10. | Indianapolis Colts | 1-1 | Lost last season's comeback magic. |
| 15. | 11. | Dallas Cowboys | 1-1 | Witten passed Sharpe for the second most catches by a TE, a mere 432 behind Gonzalez. |
| 16. | 13. | St. Louis Rams | 1-1 | Furious comeback couldn't overcome 21 point halftime deficit. |
| 17. | 25. | Arizona Cardinals | 1-1 | Overcame Fitzgerald hamstring injury that kept him out the second half by spreading the ball around to 10 different receivers. |
| 18. | 14. | Detriot Lions | 1-1 | Continue to be done in by a lack of discipline which manifested itself this week in 8 penalties for 101 yards including a 31 yard pass interference penalty in the end zone on the final drive. |
| 19. | 28. | Buffalo Bills | 1-1 | Manuel already looks like the real deal. |
| 20. | 30. | San Diego Chargers | 1-1 | Rivers seems to have found a go-to receiver in Royal. |
| 21. | 15. | Philadelphia Eagles | 1-1 | Euphoria over spread offense and opening victory has quickly dissipated. |
| 22. | 17. | New York Giants | 0-2 | Eli has thrown 7 interceptions in the first 2 games. |
| 23. | 18. | Washington Redskins | 0-2 | First defense since Falcons in '67 to give up 1000 yards in their first 2 games. Focus on rustiness of RGIII hiding the real problem, abysmal defensive secondary. |
| 24. | 20. | Minnesota Vikings | 0-2 | Settled for 3 FGs of under 30 yards in the second half before allowing a late TD and losing by a point. |
| 25. | 21. | Tennessee Titans | 1-1 | Blew 8 point lead with less than 2 minutes remaining to lose in OT. |
| 26. | 22. | Pittsburgh Steelers | 0-2 | Meddling owner Art II's edict to fire Arians has backfired on an epic scale. |
| 27. | 26. | New York Jets | 1-1 | Done in by 3 fourth quarter interceptions by Sanchez, err, I mean Smith. |
| 28. | 24. | Carolina Panthers | 0-2 | Decision to hire Mike Shula to replace Chudzinski working out about as poorly as should have been expected. |
| 29. | 27. | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | 0-2 | Lost on a walk off FG for the second consecutive week. Offense in shambles thanks to Freeman, Schiano feud. |
| 30. | 31. | Oakland Raiders | 1-1 | Jaguars can make anyone look good. |
| 31. | 29. | Cleveland Browns | 0-2 | Richardson needs more touches. (edit: and after Lombardi's insane trade will get them on the Colts) |
| 32. | 32. | Jacksonville Jaguars | 0-2 | The race for Bridgewater already has an early favorite. |
