What a difference a week makes. After the action on Thursday and Sunday, the 49ers, Cowboys, Lions, Dolphins and Ravens have dropped out of my Top 10 from Week 1, replaced by five new teams showing they mean business in 2024. The best of them are the Saints, whose offense is exploding under a new coordinator.
It’s still early, of course, and teams across the league have time to figure things out. If the first two weeks of the season are any indication, however, we might have a wide-open race to find a team that can challenge the Chiefs for NFL supremacy.

1. Kansas City Chiefs
The defending champs have mastered the art of winning games. Andy Reid’s crew has the talent and toughness to win high-scoring shootouts or grind-it-out affairs against elite competition.

2. New Orleans Saints
Credit Dennis Allen for finding an offensive coordinator with the scheme and wizardry to unlock a unit that dropped “40-burgers” on each of New Orleans’ first two opponents. Klint Kubiak has tapped into Derek Carr’s masterful ball-handling skills and efficient passing to spark an offense that deftly mixes pre-snap motions and shifts with creative play-action passes to keep defenders on their heels. As Alvin Kamara, Tom Brady’s LFG Player of the Week, reemerges as an elite playmaker with unique talents as a runner-receiver, the Saints’ offense looks like an unstoppable force after two weeks.

3. Philadelphia Eagles
The football world will have a chance to watch the Eagles on Monday night to see if offensive coordinator Kellen Moore…
