Week 3 Power Ranking

SI (12. Detroit Lions (1–1):  Last week: Win vs. Washington, 36–27, Next week: at Minnesota.  The NFL’s best-kept secret—offensive coordinator Ben Johnson—is no longer a secret. Jared Goff is playing well. D’Andre Swift is constantly in open space. The Lions are for real.):  https://www.si.com/nfl/2022/09/20/nfl-power-rankings-buffalo-bills-kansas-city-chiefs-tampa-bay-bucaneers-week-2

USA Today (14. Lions (18): They've scored at least 35 points in three consecutive games for the first time since 1952, a year before owner Sheila Ford Hamp was born.):  https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/columnist/nate-davis/2022/09/20/nfl-power-rankings-week-3-2022-bills-chiefs-dolphins-eagles/10423215002/

FTW (15.  Detroit Lions (Last week’s rank: 23):  Through two games, the Detroit freaking Lions are averaging over 35 points per Sunday (!). At the same time, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Aidan Hutchinson are two of the brightest young players in football. This team isn’t “good” (whatever that means) but they are fun as hell.):  https://ftw.usatoday.com/lists/nfl-power-rankings-week-3-eagles-bills-chiefs

NFL.com (16. Lions (Previous rank: No. 26):  Are the Detroit Lions an offensive juggernaut? Maybe! Dan Campbell's Grit Warriors found little resistance from the visiting Commanders in a 36-27 win at celebratory Ford Field, becoming the first Lions team since 1970 to score 35-plus in their first two games of the season. Jared Goff threw four touchdown passes on Sunday, and he's getting plenty of help: Amon-Ra St. Brown (184 total yards, two touchdowns) is developing into a legit No. 1 wideout, while D'Andre Swift (87 total yards and a TD on just seven touches) looks like a running back prepping his application for The Superstar Club. Throw in a three-sack game for No. 2 overall pick Aidan Hutchinson, and the feel-good Lions could be transitioning into the actually-good Lions. Behold the metamorphosis!):  https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-power-rankings-week-3-2022-nfl-season

Athlon Sports (17. Detroit Lions (Last week: 26):  "Hard Knocks" allowed us to meet all the characters on this team but they’re also quite fun watching on Sundays too. Aidan Hutchinson looks like the real deal so far as a rookie and a problem for opposing tackles moving forward.):  https://athlonsports.com/nfl/nfl-power-rankings

Fox sports (18. Detroit Lions:  It's not a guarantee of long-term success, but what a feel-good day for the Lions. The score says they only won by nine, but Detroit was in control for the vast majority of that game. They ran the rock for 191 yards, and Amon-Ra St. Brown had 184 all-purpose yards as he continues to prove he's one of the sneaky stars of this league. It's unclear just how many games the Lions are going to win, but they're not going to be any easy out for many teams.):  https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/lions-are-playing-well-behind-young-stars-is-it-time-to-believe-in-detroit

Touchdown wire (20. Detroit Lions (1-1) (Last week: No. 26):  The Lions don’t have big names per se on their offense, but their scheme provides ways to maximize the talent they have. Amon Ra St. Brown had nine catches for 116 yards and two touchdowns along with two carries for 68 yards. The Lions are embodying coach Dan Campbell’s attitude and are becoming a team that can’t be overlooked.):  https://touchdownwire.usatoday.com/lists/nfl-power-rankings-dolphins-eagles-packers-surge-week-2/

ESPN (20. Detroit Lions (1-1) (Week 2 ranking: 27):  Biggest early adjustment: Improvement from the secondary.  Detroit's secondary has some "work to do" to get more disciplined, according to head coach Dan Campbell. Cornerback Jeff Okudah has been solid while coming back from an Achilles injury, but the unit is still working on not getting beat on deep balls, which have been an issue in Weeks 1 and 2 against Philadelphia and Washington. Eagles star receiver A.J. Brown had 10 receptions for 155 yards -- including a 55-yard catch -- against the Lions in the opener. -- Eric Woodyard):  https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/34591067/nfl-week-3-power-rankings-2022-1-32-poll-one-big-adjustment-every-team-make

SN (21. Detroit Lions 1-1 (27):  The Lions showed some of their "Hard Knocks" buzz in coming out like gangbusters offensively and defensively on Washington, thanks to young stars Amon-Ra St. Brown, D'Andre Swift and Aidan Hutchinson. Detroit's talent and moxie will keep it in most games under Dan Campbell.):  https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/nfl-power-rankings-49ers-dolphins-rams-colts-browns/vuazhqja5moy5kltgyhdtf7w

Yahoo (21. Detroit Lions (1-1, LW: 27):  The Lions might have a really good offense. They're averaging 35.5 points per game. Amon-Ra St. Brown is a star receiver. D'Andre Swift is a big-play running back. But what really gives the Lions life on offense is an elite line. They won't keep putting up 35+ points each week, but they will be a lot of fun to watch.):  https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl-power-rankings-the-0-2-bengals-look-like-a-super-bowl-hangover-victim-033320975.html

Bally sports (21. Detroit Lions (1-1, LW: 30): It’s early, but Dan Campbell’s Lions have shown they can score in bunches (tied for second with K.C. at 35.5 points per game) and rack up sacks in bunches (top pick Aidan Hutchinson had three against Washington).):  https://www.ballysports.com/national/news/nfl-power-rankings-no-6-eagles-looking-legit

PFN (24. Detroit Lions: The Detroit Lions are tired of losing. The question is, are they learning how to win? Things got a bit interesting when Washington got the game within eight in the fourth quarter, but Detroit answered on the next drive with a touchdown to make it a two-possession game once again.  Amon-Ra St. Brown – who can name all 16 receivers drafted ahead of him – continues to prove himself an NFL draft steal and No. 1 receiver the franchise found in the fourth round.):  https://www.profootballnetwork.com/nfl-power-rankings-week-3-2022/

CBS (26. Lions:  They have rolled up a bunch of points on offense so far this season. They do have to get better on defense, but at least Aidan Hutchinson showed up against Washington in a big way.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-week-3-power-rankings-tua-tagovailoas-dolphins-may-be-for-real-49ers-crack-top-10-with-jimmy-garoppolo/
