Welcome to week two of the NFL Fun Power Rankings, where we judge teams on how exciting they are to watch, rather than the number in the 'W' column. That means we're looking out for explosive offenses, defenses who can make big, eye-catching, game-changing plays, and teams with narratives we just can't help but buy into. In week one the Kansas City Chiefs stormed straight to the top spot after Patrick Mahomes and Tyreek Hill tore apart the San Diego Chargers. After Mahomes' stunning six-touchdown display against the Steelers on Sunday, can anyone challenge them this week? 32. Arizona Cardinals (down 1) Scoring six points over two games is almost impressive, in all honesty. Sam Bradford has been a non-entity at quarterback, but the Arizona offense’s problems are so deep, throwing Josh Rosen in is unlikely to help much. Even David Johnson is struggling to get going. Steve Wilks could find himself on the hotseat before he’s even left an imprint. 31. Buffalo Bills (up 1) … [Read more...] about NFL Fun Power Rankings, week two: Falcons and Jaguars on the rise, Giants spiral rapidly

No, the best television programme of all time is NFL RedZone. Seven hours of action, showing all the biggest plays as they happen, uninterrupted by adverts, accompanied by bagfuls of snacks and a cold drink if you're really well prepared - what better way is there to close out your weekend?

Here's everything you need to look out for during your Sunday night NFL marathon... Five games to dial in on … [Read more...] about NFL RedZone: A championship revenge game, Mahomes’ big test and everything else to look out for in week two

Philadelphia waited 51 years for the Eagles to deliver a Super Bowl crown. Now the hope heading into the new NFL season - which starts on Thursday night at home to the Atlanta Falcons - is that a second title will immediately follow. Back in February the Eagles, led by back-up quarterback Nick Foles, pulled off an upset victory over Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. And they did it with some swagger, the highlight being a trick play before the half-time interval which resulted in Foles catching a touchdown pass - rather than his everyday job of throwing one - against a defence masterminded by arguably the greatest defensive minds the sport has ever seen, New England head coach Bill Belichick. Foles' career-high moment in Minneapolis came at the expense of premier Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz, who prior to tearing his ACL in December was on track for an MVP season given his remarkable form: 33 touchdown passes and only seven interceptions. … [Read more...] about Atlanta Falcons vs Philadelphia Eagles: Champions hoping Nick Foles can rediscover Super Bowl-winning form
