New England (1-0; previous, 1) – After beating Oakland to open the 2005 season, the Patriots have an amazing 18 straight wins at home, dating back to Dec. 22, 2002. Oh yeah, they're not bad on the road, either. New England is 33-2 in its last 35 games – a mark unmatched in NFL history.

Indianapolis (1-0; previous, 3) – The new-look Colts beat up the Ravens in Baltimore, 24-7, and were seconds from recording their first shutout since December 1997. You have to go back to Dec. 14, 2003, to find the last time Indy held an opponent to 7 points or fewer (Indy 38, Atlanta 7).

Jacksonville (1-0; previous, 5) – After beating Seattle in Week One, the 11-year-old Jacksonville franchise is now 8-3 (.727) on opening day, the best opening-day win percentage of any team in football. Denver is second at 29-16 (.644).

Kansas City (1-0; previous, 8) – The "pundits" have always said that if KC ever got a halfway-respectable defense, it would challenge for the Super Bowl. Well, we're on the bandwagon blowing the kazoos. Week One against the Jets, the KC defense recorded three sacks, one interception, forced (and in some cases, just sat back and watched) seven fumbles and came within 29 seconds of pitching a shutout against a team that last year was two blown kicks away from the AFC title game.

Atlanta (1-0; previous, 10) – You remember 1998, right? The Falcons that year went 14-2, knocked off a Minnesota team in the playoffs that boasted a 15-1 record and the highest-scoring offense in the history of football (556 points), and ended up in the Super Bowl. Oh yeah, '98 was also the last time Atlanta beat Philly...that is, until this past Monday night.

Philadelphia (0-1; previous, 2) – Greatest Linebacker in the Game? Maybe it's Philly MLB Jeremiah Trotter. In a Week One loss to Atlanta, Trotter was ejected before kickoff for a little pre-game fisticuffs and the Eagles surrendered 200 yards rushing. In the NFC title game last year, the Trotter-led defense held Atlanta to 99 yards on the ground. The 2004 Eagles gave up 83.5 rushing yards per game with Trotter in the middle, 140.2 rushing YPG without him.

Pittsburgh (1-0; previous, 9) – The Pittsburgh starting offense scored ZERO points in this year's four preseason games. In Sunday's win over the Titans, the Steelers offense scored on it first six possessions (TD, FG, TD, FG, TD, TD). Big Ben has still yet to lose a regular-season game (14-0)

Buffalo (1-0; previous, unranked) – Buffalo's season not only began with a win, but it also began with five straight scoring drives behind the guidance of second-year QB J.P. Losman (FG, FG, FG, FG, TD), who was making his first NFL start. Watch out, Big Ben! J.P. has also yet to lose a regular season game.

New Orleans (1-0; previous, unranked) – We're not going to pretend there's a silver lining for a team whose hometown and home stadium were destroyed two weeks ago, but the Saints can count on the fact that over the past four years (and including Sunday's win over Carolina), they've been better on the road (18-15) than they have been at home (15-17).
