NFL power rankings: Where 49ers stand after loss to Vikings originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Week 2 of the 2024 NFL season almost is in the books, and it was just as screwy as last week.
Big injuries to star players have contending teams on the fritz, while bottom feeders shocked the world with big upsets. Is there cause for concern in San Francisco? Are the Saints one of the best teams in the NFC? Are we discounting the Raiders and Patriots?
Here’s where the 49ers and the rest of the league stand heading into the “Monday Night Football” matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and Atlanta Falcons.
Record: 0-2
This team exists solely as an argument in favor of NFL relegation. I wake up on Sunday mornings dreading having to watch them play football.
Record: 0-2
This offense continues to be putrid beyond belief. Their defense keeps them in games but Bo Nix just says, ‘Nah, I’m good.”
Record: 0-2
Malik Nabers is the best receiver Daniel Jones has ever had. He had a breakout game in Week 2, but I fear for his future. Only because of Daniel Jones.
Record: 0-2
Will Levis can’t stop turning the ball over. He’s proving to be a major liability.
28. New England Patriots (Last week: 29)
Record: 1-1
Rookie coach Jerod Mayo’s squad plays with some fight. As long as Rhamondre Stevenson continues to ball, Jacoby Brissett just needs to be average.
Record: 1-1
Another solid, turnover-free game from rookie Jayden Daniels, who distributed the ball well to all his playmakers and let Brian Robinson do the heavy lifting on the ground. This is a rebuilding team headed in the right direction.
26. Las Vegas Raiders (Last week: 28)
Record: 1-1
Gardner Minshew diced up a suspect (?) Ravens secondary. It turns out that getting the ball to your two best weapons is a recipe for success. I might have been too harsh on the Silver and Black last week.
Record: 0-2
This team is quite boring and quite mediocre. Trevor Lawrence on #FraudWatch.
Record: 0-2
Me literally last week: “Anthony Richardson is awesome….
