Summary
Chicago surged to No. 2 in The Post’s Week 2 NFL power rankings after Caleb Williams threw 2 touchdown passes and ran for 2 more in a 59-37 rout of Carolina.
That breakout came in the highest-scoring Week 1 game in NFL history, with the Bears posting two touchdowns in every quarter and piling up 291 rushing yards and 6 rushing scores.
Buffalo took the top spot at 1-0 after Josh Allen’s late 34-yard go-ahead touchdown and Greg Rousseau’s second strip sack sealed a 36-31 win over Houston.
The early MVP picture still features Allen, Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes, while reigning MVP Matthew Stafford slid after the Rams’ 27-7 loss to San Francisco.
Week 1 also reshuffled the upper tier, with the 49ers at No. 3, Seahawks No. 4 and Ravens No. 5 as opening-week results drove the season’s first major overreaction rankings.
