Heading into Week 3 of the 2009 NFL season, the NFL power rankings are really starting to take shape. The teams at the head of the class are obvious and the true Super Bowl contenders are beginning to separate. Here’s a look at the best of the best in this edition of the NFL power rankings before Week 3:
1. New York Giants
If the defense can remain healthy, Eli Manning seems to have found enough offensive weapons to keep the Giants dangerous on both sides of the field.
2. Baltimore Ravens
The Ravens were doubted a bit coming into the season but they appear legit once again. If they keep playing this way, the playoffs are well within reach.
3. Atlanta Falcons
The upstart Falcons keep proving themselves. Tony Gonzalez has been a great fit so far and the defense has shown some glimpses. Watch out for Atlanta.
4. Indianapolis Colts
The Week 2 victory wasn’t pretty but the Colts are now 2-0. Peyton Manning remains a force and once the defense gets back Bob Sanders, they could turn it around quickly.
5. Minnesota Vikings
The Vikings have won both of their games and they look strong. However, Brett Favre hasn’t been tested yet. We’ll wait for a test before moving Minnesota any higher.
