Week one for the NFL is a wrap, and there were quite a few surprises on the field. I, for one, was blown away by seeing the Vikings demolish the Packers. I was also happy to see the Lions put up a good fight against the Eagles, standing tough in a game that was supposed to be a blowout.

Now that we're headlining into week two, there are new NFL QB Power Rankings from the folks at CBS Sports. They're ranking all 32 starting signal-callers throughout the 2022 season, factoring in each player's most recent performances.

This week's No. 1 pick is Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs, followed by the legendary Tom Brady of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers stands at a surprising No. 3, even after that messy loss against the Vikings. Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills and Justin Herbert of the Los Angeles Chargers round out the top five. Coming in at No. 6 is Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens, followed by Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals, Russell Wilson of the Denver Broncos, Kirk Cousins of the Vikings and, at No. 10, Matthew Stafford of the L.A. Rams. If you're wondering, Jared Goff of the Detroit Lions is at No. 27 out of 32. Find the full list here.
