NFL power rankings: Where all 32 teams stand at start of 2024 season
NY Post
Is it possible that the NFL Draft and free agency don’t make that much of a difference after all?
The top of the NFL landscape entering Week 1 of the 2024 season sure looks similar to the way it shaped up at the end of the 2023 season, including top-four spots for all four teams that played on conference championship Sunday.
And five of the six teams that finished with the worst records occupy bottom-five spots before the action begins.
Just like one year ago, the proliferation of highly regarded quarterbacks across the AFC — including those returning from season-ending injuries like the Jets’ Aaron Rodgers, Bengals’ Joe Burrow, Chargers’ Justin Herbert, Colts’ Anthony Richardson and Browns’ Deshaun Watson — makes it look like a much deeper and more difficult conference than the NFC.
Without further adieu, here are The Post’s power rankings for Week 1:
The two-time defending champions sit atop the throne until on-field results prove otherwise.
Justin Herbert will have a new offensive coordinator next season.
The Mets interest in Kyle Tucker is serious enough to have warranted a meeting.
Aaron Rodgers was “pretty sure” back in June that he was going to retire after one year with the Steelers.
The Nets dropped their fourth straight game Monday, beaten by Cooper Flagg and their own sloppiness.
Aaron Rodgers’ season with the Steelers came to a screeching halt on Monday, as Pittsburgh was bounced from the playoffs and the quarterback had a rough night.
Mike Sullivan came up with a few tweaks to the lineup heading into Monday’s game against Seattle at Madison Square Garden, perhaps most notably dropping Alexis Lafrenière from the second line to the third, with Gabe Perreault moving to the second.
The boxscore was a sight to behold.
Greg Kittle addressed his devastating Achilles injury for the first time in a post on Instagram on Monday.
Jim Harbaugh was lost on Sunday night.
Mike McDaniel will return to Cleveland, where he worked as a wide receivers coach early in his career, to interview for the vacant head coaching position with the Browns.
PORTLAND, Ore. — The Knicks closed out their victory with an All-Star on the bench.
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – At this time of year, most of the NFL is searching for one of two things and sometimes both. The teams who failed to qualify for the postseason are almost all thinking about how to improve at the two most important spots on the team — head coach and quarterback.
