After their Week 2 tie, the Green Bay Packers are in the top 10 of the power rankings.

It’s difficult to know how to feel about the Green Bay Packers‘ Week 2 tie. On one hand, it was great to see Aaron Rodgers continue to play at a high level despite being limited. Even while he’s below 100 percent, the Packers should have no trouble winning games.

But there’s the problem. They didn’t win on Sunday, when they really should have. We can sit here and blame the refs all day long. They made some bad calls. But it shouldn’t have come down to that. The Packers had multiple opportunities to put the game away, but they left the door open by settling for field goals in the second half.

The Packers and Vikings lead the way in the NFC North, but the Chicago Bears aren’t far behind at 1-1 after their impressive victory over the Seahawks on Monday Night Football. The same can’t be said about the Detroit Lions, though.

What have we learned two weeks in to the new season? Well, Ryan Fitzpatrick is the MVP. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have beaten two of the NFC’s top teams. The Cleveland Browns might not have a win yet, but their record is still better than last year’s.

Let’s begin. Where do the Packers stand after starting the season 1-0-1?
