    from 2021 NFL power rankings after Week 2: https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/columnist/nate-davis/2021/09/21/nfl-power-rankings-week-2-2021-raiders-ravens-rocket-into-top-10/5793313001/

    NFL power rankings, 2021 post-Week 2 edition (previous rank in parentheses):

    1. Buccaneers (1): Evidence already mounting that this could be a historic team. QB Tom Brady is on pace to throw 77 TDs for crew that just became first to string together nine consecutive wins (including playoffs) while scoring at least 30 points in each. (Naturally, Brady was a member of the two teams that used to share that record, the 2007 and ’10 Patriots.) The Bucs’ overall win streak now stands at 10.

    2. Rams (3): However this group, which handled the Bucs in Tampa last season before the eventual Super Bowl champs started their historic run, might have something to say Sunday when they lock horns at SoFi Stadium. Matthew Stafford’s 127.0 QB rating is nearly 40 points above his career average.

    from NFL Power Rankings, Week 3: https://theathletic.com/2840354/2021/09/22/nfl-power-rankings-week-3-new-no-1-and-a-qb-confidence-meter-after-a-rash-of-injuries/?source=dailyemail&campaign=601983

    1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-0)
    Previous rank: 2

    Week 2 result: Beat the Falcons, 48-25

    QB Confidence Meter: 5

    Tom Brady continues to defy science, aging and conventional football wisdom. It would be hard to make a stronger MVP case through two weeks for anyone other than Brady (though we’ll try, keep reading!). His resume: nine touchdowns (on pace for more than 76 in 17 games) and two interceptions for the best team in the NFL. He averaged more than 10 yards per attempt last week against the Falcons (which also tells you plenty about the state of Atlanta’s defense). Brady’s first big defensive test comes this week on the road against the Rams.

    2. Los Angeles Rams (2-0)
    Previous rank: 3

    Week 2 result: Beat the Colts, 27-24

    QB Confidence Meter: 5

    How could Rams fans not feel good about Matthew Stafford? How good does Stafford feel in Sean McVay’s offense, throwing to his new best friend Cooper Kupp? Things weren’t as easy in Indianapolis as they were in the opener against the Bears, and Stafford threw his first pick, but also two touchdowns in the win. The challenge ratchets up this week against the defending Super Bowl champs.
