Tom Brady consistently delivered on Sundays in his playing career. Now, he’s consistently delivering in his power rankings.

So, let’s dive into Brady’s power rankings after Week 2. And remember, Brady will be on the call for America’s Game of the Week between the Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Bears on Sunday.

Brady’s thoughts: “Look, I said it last week: Someone’s gotta beat the champs to knock them off the top spot. The Chiefs kept things close at Arrowhead this weekend, and I was there to watch, but Philly leaned on that defense to win the Super Bowl rematch. That one QB sneak play is still working too, huh? Not controversial at all. You guys all love it. They should come up with a name for it to something.”

“Inexperienced Bay may need the most effective résumé of any NFL group proper now. They’ve convincing residence wins over Detroit and Washington. With 4 of the night time 5 on the highway, although, Jordan Love has an opportunity to essentially solidify the Pack as a Tremendous Bowl contender early within the season. ”
