Next 32) Tampa Bay Buccaneers The Bucs were the worst team in football in 2014, and if week one is anything to go by, they haven’t done much improving. Jameis Winston may yet be the saviour of the franchise, but he has a long way to go. His first NFL pass attempt? A pick six.

Previous Next 31) Oakland Raiders The Raiders roster has potential, no question, but they had a very poor outing at the Coliseum on Sunday. The Bengals ran out 33-13 winners, but in truth, that score line isn’t a fair reputation of how the game panned out. To make matters worse, Derek Carr is out. Tough start for Oakland.

Previous Next 30) Jacksonville Jaguars The lowest scorers in the NFL on Sunday, with only 9 points on the board. Simply put, it’s hard to win football games when you aren’t breaking double figures. The Jags are inexperienced on offense right now and need a spark, desperately.

Previous Next 29) Cleveland Browns Three things to say about Cleveland’s performance this weekend: – Josh McCown should think before he acts. – Johnny Manziel simply does not have the ability to play to a consistently good level for four quarters. – The Jets don’t have a great offense, yet they piled on 31 points. Alarm bells.

Previous Next 28) Houston Texans This may be harsh, but while the quarterback situation (which we all assumed had ended) rumbles on at NRG Stadium, it’s difficult to take the Texans seriously, even with Watt and Clowney making plays on D. Plus, O’Brien and Smith are still in my bad books for cutting Charles James. Man, he was worth it for the socks alone.

Previous Next 27) Washington Redskins Nobody likes the Redskins right now. Not even the Redskins themselves. It’s been a long time since anything positive came out of FedEx Field, and a 17-10 opening weekend loss to the Dolphins is an addition to the list.

Previous Next 26) Minnesota Vikings If Teddy Bridgewater’s Vikings were still riding their hype wave from last season on Monday night, it’s fair to imagine that they’ve just come down to earth with some real force. Against the unfancied 49ers, Minnesota failed to get into the endzone all game and made Carlos Hyde the top running back of week one. Welcome back to reality, fellas.

Previous Next 25) Chicago Bears In fairness, the Bears put up a spirited performance against the Packers on Sunday, with Matt Forte impressing. But they just can’t seem to hit that extra gear when it’s needed. They lack the killer instinct that their week one opponents have made their staple. Chicago have now lost 6 straight.

Previous Next 24) Tennessee Titans I really want to put the Titans higher up this list, but the defensive frailties of Tampa Bay are stopping me. Marcus Mariota was phenomenal on debut, and arguably the player of the week, in a blowout win for the Nashville franchise. If they do it again, when playing someone a little tougher, then we’ll talk about a big climb.

Previous Next 23) Detroit Lions Oh, Detroit. If the Lions didn’t fold on Sunday, then this position would look vastly different. Hell, they’d be knocking on the door of the top ten. Alas, they did fold, and they did give up an 18-point lead in a game they should have wrapped up. Also, they didn’t bother covering Keenan Allen. Bad move – more on that later.

Previous Next 22) New Orleans Saints As expected, Drew Brees played like Drew Brees when the Saints visited the desert on Sunday. However, the Saints couldn’t handle a rejuvenated Carson Palmer and Bruce Arians’ aggressive play-calling, meaning they left Arizona empty-handed.

Previous Next 21) Baltimore Ravens I know, a shocker, right? Just hear me out. The Ravens were rock bottom in the NFL in terms of offensive yards this week. Joe Flacco threw for sub-200, Justin Forsett was just plain terrible and Baltimore only had ONE redzone appearance all game. The Baltimore defense kept them in a contest at Mile High Stadium, and the key to that unit is now down with a torn achilles. The rest of the 2015 season looks ominous.

Previous Next 20) New York Giants Much like the Lions, this could have changed dramatically, had Tony Romo not played out of his skin in the fourth quarter of 2015’s first Sunday Night Football offering. Decision-making is the problem, and the entire NFL knows it. If Eli Manning takes the sack, the clock runs and the Giants likely grab the W. Fine margins.

Previous Next 19) New York Jets New York teams are like buses, apparently. Todd Bowles’ side got off to a winning start against the Browns on Sunday, despite being extremely reliant on the run. This tactic may reap rewards against the NFL’s lesser teams, but not so much when they come up against the defensive units that now prowl the AFC East.

Previous Next 18) Carolina Panthers It’s tough to argue with a road win in week one. The Panthers were far from flashy in the Expansion Bowl against the Jaguars, but they managed to patch 20 points together to get the victory. Not bad considering Kelvin Benjamin is absent and Luke Kuechly suffered a concussion.
