1. Kansas City(1-0): The Monarchs were already set to carry on this season's business with little fanfare, now getting Nagy his 100th would seem trivial.
2. Washington(1-0): For one week all the questions have once again disappeared over Kyle Allen, now, as always, the question is making them disappear for multiple weeks at a time.
3. Chicago(1-0): Usually when your opponent can't catch the ball you'd like more than a touchdown spread but it's a win in a tough matchup as of late (fourth straight matchup vs TB decided by a TD or less).
4. New York(1-0): J.K., all day.
5. San Francisco(0-1): Under the worst circumstances possible an opening-night upset just wasn't happening.
6. Dallas(1-0): The season-opening win was nice, but another one on top will make some serious headway towards breaking the 7-9 stranglehold.
7. St. Louis(1-0): This team just might have something after all (and it's probably a good thing Jonathan Taylor trade talks never progressed past the exploratory stage).
8. Carolina(0-1): A trip to the Windy City in an all the sudden early-season must-win is about the last thing you want to prevent the Chopped Liver meme from being an actual thing.
9. Los Angeles(0-1): The two-play (sack, INT) disaster that led to a go-ahead Dallas TD late in the third may have been the main Desmond Ridder takeaway if not for the tying TD drive.
10. San Diego(1-0): Malik Willis' long-awaited debut wasn't fancy, but it got the job done (with a huge assist to Rejzohn Wright and Taylor Heinicke's oft-criticized decision-making), of course the Monarchs are a much different world.
11. San Antonio(0-1): Scoring just 16 points against a team who was the worst scoring defense in the league over the final two months of the season, yeah that might have Colin Kaepernick wondering if he should have gone to New York in retrospect.
12. Columbus(1-0): This will likely be the only week where this can be said, but the Capitols are allowing a league-fewest yards per play (3.8)
13. Orlando(0-1): The good thing for the Rage is they were here just two years ago, everything else is why they were in the first place.
14. Tampa Bay(0-1): If Drew Lock could get a late (or super-early) Christmas present, we're guessing it would be for an offensive line that can pass block and receivers that can catch.
15. Birmingham(0-1): Sure the defense got run over by Isiah Pacheco (and might have in OT as well) but Heinicke in a six-second span went from "Oh yeah" to "oh yeah................"
16. Seattle (0-1): The Seahawks lost at home by 17 in week one to a team thought to be rebuilding as well, just saying................
