Saints are #2 behind Chiefs and ahead of Steelers.

Power Rankings: Chiefs in No. 1, Saints Will Be Just Fine

Taysom Hill as well as a staunch pass-rush will keep the Saints in a good spot while Drew Brees recovers.

I like it.

Surprised by that. Figured if Saints jumped anyone it would be Kansas City. Chiefs defense has been dreadful lately. Hopefully it stays that way.

I'm surprised SI is still in business. I thought their entire revenue stream was based on the swimsuit edition


I guess their rankings aren't bad either

The worst one I saw today was ESPN's which had the Saints at 3rd, which is totally fine, but had the 7-4 Bucs at #6 and ahead of these teams:

This isn't college sports. Rankings don't matter from the media.

I want to see the offense with Taysom for more than one or two games before I feel we're the best in the NFC. I'm 100% that our defense is for real. This is actually what I've expected from that side of the ball all along. Glad it finally showed up. But in my opinion, it takes two. We're eventually gonna face some tougher defenses. We have the talent on offense, no doubt. But I wanna see this version of our offense show it can win even if our defense has a game where maybe they're not so dominant.

Sure it doesn't - but some of us fans enjoy discussing them on a slow football Tuesday.

Yawn......just a reminder these rankings mean nothing. If they did then no NFC East team would have a snowball chance in hell of making the playoffs and we know that will not be the case. Just for entertainment purposes.

As is ALL of the NFL. Lol

Look, I'm really jazzed about Taysom's performance in his first game, but #2 is a bit premature before he goes against a decent defense. Really glad to see the D getting recognized though.

Yes, that is pretty much their point that our QB doesn't matter if the D keeps ballin' and the offense protects the ball.

I kind of wonder how Steeler fans would feel. They are the only undefeated team left. Also, if this was college format, they'd be selling TB as one of the four best team right now. LOL

Thank God!

Personally, I'd put the Steelers over the Chiefs. I'd put the Saints at 3.

The ESPN comment under the Bucs at #6 is, "What they're thankful for: QB Tom Brady.". That's just pure commedy right there!
