21. Washington Redskins (28)

You like that?  Finally, Kirk Cousins can say that again.  The Skins provided a gutty performance and kept themselves at least in the thick of things, as they try to repeat as division champions.  Does Kirk have the locker room back on his side?  One would hope so—the bigger question however—why did they turn on him after two games in the first place?

After two games the Rams still hadn’t scored a TD.  Sunday, they popped off for 37 points.  If you are going to tell me you thought the Rams would be 2-1 after their week one debacle, you are lying through your teeth.  Nevertheless, they are 2-1, and things seem to be trending in the right direction for the Rams who sit atop the NFC West.

23. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (16)

One thing is for certain; offense is not going to be the problem for the young Bucs.  This defense is just horrid right now, allowing a rams team that had scored 9 points in their first two games 37 points.  Yikes.  Mother nature didn’t help the Bucs out in any way, as a long lightning delay probably halted any chance they had to come back.  Things don’t get any easier for Famous Jameis and Co. next week as the defending champions come to town.

24. San Diego Chargers (21)

As has been the case in every game they’ve played this year, they were right there.  Putting themselves in a position to win, and actually winning are two different things—winning will push them up these rankings—close but no cigar is not good enough in this league.
