Week 2 Power Rankings

NFL Power Rankings, Week 2: Aaron Rodgers restores Packers (26. Lions:  That was horrible. That was horrible. That was horrible. That was horrible. That was horrible. (One for every Lions pass that was intercepted.) At least when the Bills got blown out, Nate Peterman was making his third career start against a standout defense, on the road, in the elements. Detroit got whupped, at home, by a team whose quarterback was making his first career start. The Lions could legitimately be 0-5 going into the bye.):  http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000960785/article/nfl-power-rankings-week-2-aaron-rodgers-restores-packers

Yahoo NFL Power Rankings (28. Detroit Lions (0-1, LW: 19): Oh no. Seemingly every year we see some really weird result in Week 1, something that looks crazy by the end of the season. The Lions better hope that’s what just happened, because for one night they looked like the worst team in the NFL outside of Buffalo. We’ll see if they bounce back.

Walterfootball Power Rankings (31.  Detroit Lions (0-1) - Previously: 24.
We expected the Lions to struggle on defense, but what in the world happened to Matthew Stafford? He was befuddled by the Jets' scheme and had his teammates yelling at him. It looked like he hadn't practiced all offseason. In fact, it didn't even look like Stafford was the one under center.):  http://walterfootball.com/nflpowerrankings.php
