Week 2 NFL Power Rankings: Colts and Buccaneers exposed
By Will Lomas
20. L.A. Chargers (+1)
The Chargers struggled a lot more with this game than I thought they would, especially against an Bengals team with a hobbled A.J. Green and without Geno Atkins.
What concerns me the most is that the Chargers refused to use Austin Ekeler in the passing game and they looked like idiots for it. Maybe that would help Tyrod Taylor have a better completion percentage than the ugly 55% that he mustered up today.
Defensively I think that it was the best game that I have ever seen from Jerry Tillery and Joey Bosa looked like he was in peak form already. I don’t know how many other people will say this, but the Chargers remind me a lot of Washington.
They are a team that will win or lose based on the performance of their DL and EDGE, but the major difference is that the Chargers have a lot more talent at receiver. However, the flaws at OL, QB, and LB are eerily similar.
19. Denver Broncos (+1)
The Denver Broncos and Tennessee Titans play on Monday Night Football, and their changes in these power rankings will be reflected next week.
