Week 2 Power Poll: Ravens, Bears on rise; Colts plummet
Week 2 Power Poll: Ravens, Bears on rise; Colts plummet NFL.com

My, how the Colts have fallen.
Losing by blowout to the Texans sent Indianapolis from No. 10 to No. 30 in this week's NFL.com Power Poll. The 20-spot plummet by the Colts was the most eye-opening change from our panel of nine experts, but it was far from the only big move:
» Coming off impressive wins over expected Super Bowl contenders, the Ravens and Bears each rose seven spots.
» The Bills, fresh off a road blowout victory over the Chiefs, jumped 11 spots. Kansas City, meanwhile, plummeted nine spots.
» A strong peformance from the Redskins, who doubled up the Giants, resulted in a 10-spot leap for Washington and six-spot fall for New York.

So the eagles and the chargers are ranked higher after they beat some cream puff teams ? Might as well throw in the Texans into that as well after they beat a Manning-less team. Bears were the only team that had a defense that didn't give up a single touchdown in week one.

Um they did, the Texans are ahead of us. Most of those teams were ahead of us at the beggining so no big suprise there. We beat NO next week, we will have another big jump though.

See St. Louis Rams, not much needed if you're going to throw down 40s every outing. We have Rodgers' number I'm sure of it though.
