Top NFL Teams After Week 1 – A Closer Look
13) Falcons (0-1): The Falcons struggled in their Week 1 matchup, and Kirk Cousins’ return from an Achilles tear leaves much to be desired.

10) Saints (1-0): The Saints’ ability to dominate weaker teams was evident in their Week 1 victory. Despite a strong start, their true test awaits in the upcoming matchups.
The excitement surrounding Bears’ fans after their 1-0 start is understandable. However, concerns linger as Caleb Williams’ performance was lackluster, and their victory over the Titans was attributed to the opponent’s mistakes.
The Packers encountered a setback in Week 1 with Jordan Love’s injury sidelining him for an estimated 3-6 weeks. The reliance on QB2 Malik Willis exposes a potential vulnerability in their season.
