What did we learn after the first week of the 2007 NFL season? Well, the Patriots are just as good as everyone thought (with or without assistance from the film department), the Browns are just as bad as everyone thought, and Vince Young will be an extremely exhausted football player by week 10.

1. New England Patriots (1-0) - still the best, and they've got the pictures to prove it! Sorry, Bill.

2. Indianapolis Colts (1-0) - that defense looked like they were playing with a huge chip on their shoulder.

3. San Diego Chargers (1-0) - before the fourth quarter, a lot of LT fantasy owners had to be pulled off the ledge.

4. Pittsburgh Steelers (1-0) - OK, it was Cleveland, but they looked like the 2005 Steelers.

5. Chicago Bears (0-1) - if Lovie Smith doesn't do something about Grossman soon, the defense will.

6. Cincinnati Bengals (1-0) - this team is unbelievable when they get the better of the turnover ratio.

7. Denver Broncos (1-0) - admit it, that final drive looked "Elway-esque."

8. Baltimore Ravens (0-1) - typical Ravens: the defense played very well and the offense was sloppy and sluggish.

9. New Orleans Saints (0-1) - they simply ran into a tidal wave of emotion on Thursday.

10. Dallas Cowboys (1-0) - Wade Phillips should worry about the defense. 35 points to an the undermanned Giants?

11. Carolina Panthers (1-0) - with or without Orlando Pace, what they did to the St. Louis offense was impressive.

12. Philadelphia Eagles (0-1) - the two punt return blunders sealed their fate.

13. Houston Texans (1-0) - Andre Johnson is the best receiver in the NFL.

14. Seattle Seahawks (1-0) - they fell because of a "blah" win over a "blah" team.

15. Tennessee Titans (1-0) - Jeff Fisher may be the most underrated coach in football.

16. Green Bay Packers (1-0) - this could be the NFC's sleeper team of 2007.

17. Jacksonville Jaguars (0-1) - is it even possible for an NFL defense to give up 282 rushing yards?

18. St. Louis Rams (0-1) - someone needs to tell Tye Hill to keep his mouth shut next time.

19. Buffalo Bills (0-1) - keep Kevin Everett in your prayers, everyone.

20. San Francisco 49ers (1-0) - it was a win, but it was one of the ugliest wins in Monday night history.

21. New York Jets (0-1) - maybe Eric Mangini should start worrying about the Jets' film now.

22. Detroit Lions (1-0) - a playoff team shouldn't need 16 points in the last four minutes to beat the Raiders

23. Minnesota Vikings (1-0) - let the "Adrian Peterson Era" begin.

24. Washington Redskins (1-0) - the Clinton Portis/LaDell Betts tandem is perfect for the promising Jason Campbell.

25. Miami Dolphins (0-1) - 400 YARDS....TO THE REDSKINS!!!

26. Arizona Cardinals (0-1) - either the 49er secondary is really good or Matt Leinhart doesn't have faith in his arm.

27. New York Giants (0-1) - they absolutely couldn't afford injuries to Brandon Jacobs and Osi Umenyiora.

28. Kansas City Chiefs (0-1) - after 76 yards on their first drive against Houston, they gained only 143 afterwards.

29. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-1) - they've got a long way to go before they're relevant again.

30. Oakland Raiders (0-1) - if the defense can't pull out a win for them, this team is doomed.

31. Atlanta Falcons (0-1) - do you think Bobby Petrino feels like he was suckered into the "ol' bait and switch"?

32. Cleveland Browns (0-1) - for once, the smell emanating from Cleveland isn't the river.
