NFL Power Rankings: 3 Best Teams in NFC After Sunday's Madness

The first week of the NFL regular season ins't officially over, but all NFC teams are done.

There were a few surprises in Week 1 for NFC teams, which lead to some teams making a big leap, and others a big fall. 

Here are the three best teams in the NFC after Week 1. 

Green Bay Packers 

The defending Super Bowl champs were very impressive in the NFL season opener this past Thursday with a 42-34 win over the New Orleans Saints.

The offense came out firing, and Aaron Rodgers proved to everyone he truly is an elite quarterback. They're a much more balanced team now, and if they all stay healthy they may never drop from being the No. 1 NFC team.

Philadelphia Eagles 

 The Eagles made the most of a few St. Louis Rams injuries winning 31-13 on Sunday. Those injuries hurt the Rams offense, but their defense still struggled to slow down Michael Vick.

Labeled the "dream team", the Eagles needed a strong performance from their star players, and they all delivered. Despite a poor preseason, things are looking good for Philadelphia, but that could all change against Atlanta in Week 2.

Chicago Bears 

 The Bears beat down on the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, and because of that they took a big jump in the power rankings. The defense frustrated Matt Ryan to no ends, and the explosive Falcons' offense we were all waiting to see was non-existent.

Jay Cutler had to start the season off with a great game, and he did just that with a little help from his playmakers. Chicago's defense will keep them in contention like always, but if their offense can continue to move the ball down the field they'll go far once again in 2011.
