With such a diverse range of playmakers at their disposal, head coach Bruce Arians and offensive play-caller Byron Leftwich can tailor their game plan week in and week out to best exploit defensive weaknesses. This passing game is so deep that I barely noticed Antonio Brown (one catch, 17 yards) was out there. Brady spread the ball around in this game, reacquainting himself with Mike Evans on two scores, finding Rob Gronkowski for another two, and dealing to Chris Godwin for yet another. Tom Brady was surgical as a passer, completing 24 of 36 attempts for 276 yards with five touchdowns and no picks for a 129.2 passer rating. Tampa Bay put up 30-plus points for the ninth straight time (again, going back to last season), an especially impressive feat considering no other team in the NFL has done that in more than two straight games.

Tampa Bay won its 10th straight game going back to last season, knocking off the Falcons 48-25, and in doing so showed off the myriad ways in which this absurdly deep, balanced, and well-coached team can win. The Buccaneers are the class of the NFL, and there really isn’t a close no. Putting together this week’s full rankings wasn’t easy … but deciding which team would get the top spot was. Kansas City Chiefs (1-1) The Buccaneers are a thresher. All in all, another awesome week of football―and one that taught us a whole lot more about the quality of teams across the NFL. Sunday got off to a rough start with an injury-riddled, mostly ugly lineup of morning games, but all four of the afternoon games produced exciting finishes before giving way to barn-burning fun on Sunday Night Football. The NFL’s Week 2 slate was a roller-coaster ride of emotions.
