4. **Cowboys Hover in Fifth Place:**
The Dallas Cowboys, despite their Week 1 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, find themselves slightly lower in Johnson's rankings at the fifth spot. While the Cowboys have a talented roster with Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott, and an improved defense, some question marks remain about their overall consistency.
5. **Eagles Soar into Top Six:**
The Philadelphia Eagles, led by quarterback Jalen Hurts, have made a statement with their impressive start to the season. After an impressive Week 1 victory over the Detroit Lions, the Eagles earn the sixth spot in Johnson's rankings. Their balanced offense and solid defense make them a contender in the NFC East.
6. **Ravens Round Out Top Teams:**
Rounding out Johnson's top six NFL teams are the Baltimore Ravens. Despite losing to the New York Jets in Week 1, the Ravens remain a formidable team. Led by quarterback Lamar Jackson and a stout defense, the Ravens have the potential to bounce back and make a run in the playoffs.
7. **Dolphins' Setback and Future Prospects:**
The Miami Dolphins' disappointing loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 1 has raised concerns about their quarterback situation. Tua Tagovailoa suffered a concussion and left the game, casting doubt on his availability moving forward. The Dolphins will need to address this issue and find a consistent solution at the quarterback position.
8. **Tua's Concussion and Retirement Considerations:**
Tagovailoa's concussion has sparked discussions about the long-term implications for his health and career. The quarterback has reportedly considered retirement after experiencing multiple concussions, raising concerns about the future of his football career.
9. **Buffalo's Offensive Revolution:**
Despite the absence of star receiver Stefon Diggs, the Buffalo Bills' offense has found success with Josh Allen leading the charge. Khalil Shakir and Ty Davis have emerged as reliable targets, while running back James Cook has proven to be a valuable asset on the ground. The Bills' offensive versatility poses a challenge to opposing defenses.
10. **Buffalo's Dominance over Miami:**
The Bills' victory over the Dolphins in Week 1 marked their 12th win in the last 13 meetings between the two teams. This lopsided dominance highlights the Bills' strength and the Dolphins' struggles in recent years. The rivalry between these two teams remains highly competitive, but the Bills have consistently held the upper hand.
