ESPN Releases Week 2 NFL Power Rankings After Opening Week Surprises

ESPN has published its Week 2 NFL Power Rankings, reassessing all 32 teams after the league's opening week of regular-season games, according to the outlet.

The rankings, compiled through a poll of ESPN's NFL panel, are described by the publication as containing "surprises" following the first week's results.

Alongside the team-by-team rankings, ESPN said it identified a top newcomer for each roster, spotlighting players who have made notable early impressions this season.

ESPN did not provide further detail in the material reviewed for this report on the specific placement of individual teams or the identities of the newcomers named for each roster.

The rankings are part of a recurring weekly feature ESPN uses throughout the NFL season to track how analysts and voters perceive the relative strength of all 32 franchises as the schedule progresses.
