And just like that, the NFC East has been made whole again ...
There was a time, long before the Week 3 Power Rankings, that the East was the division in pro football. You had Bill Parcells' Giants, Joe Gibbs' Redskins, Tom Landry's Cowboys and Buddy Ryan's Eagles. (Oh, and the Cardinals. But we won't go there.) From 1984 until 1989, the division featured a different winner every year.
Who knows who will win it now, with No. 9 in Dallas out for eight, the Eagles averaging a foot per carry, and the Giants unable to stop the Atlanta Hawks, much less the Falcons. Don't forget about those pesky Redskins moving up in our rankings. And then there is this poor NFC East fan ...
Imagine being Seth. Thatpile of crap was the first Eagles game you ever got to see live? I'd rather have seen Bobby Hoying throw for 105 yards for the three-win '98 Eagles.
As for the rest of the teams, not all are descending at a rapid pace. Just ask the Browns, Raiders and Jaguars -- perennial bottom feeders run amok, I tell ya! So take a gander below, and see how all 32 stack up after Week 2. As always, feel free to share your take: @HarrisonNFL is the place.
NOTE: The lineup below reflects changes from our Sept. 15 Power Rankings.
PREVIOUS RANKINGS: Week 2 | Week 1 | Preseason | Post-draft
Speaking of turnovers: Oh, brother -- that Frank Gore fumble ...
Hey, maybe these aren't the same old Raiders.
<strong>a)</strong> Losing
Terrell Suggs really hurts.
<strong>b)</strong>
Crockett Gillmore is the best weapon on offense.
<strong>c)</strong>
Sunday's home opener versus the 2-0
Bengals is an absolute must-win.

Helluva game, Travis Benjamin.
