NFL Performance Rankings - Week 2

The top five Performance Rankings according to PossessionPoints.com are the Cardinals, Giants, Cowboys, Titans and Patriots. This is the first time since the inception of PossessionPoints.com that the Cardinals have earned the top spot. These Performance Rankings are based on in-game statistics that measure the team’s offensive performance. These statistics take into account such elements as the scoring drive, the points scored and time of possession.

It is always interested to note who the bottom five teams are. These are the teams that need to improve greatly if they are going to aspire to any kind of winning season. This week, the bottom five teams are the Bengals, Lions, Chiefs and Texans. The Texans have only played one game so a big turn around is still possible with them.

At this time in the season, we always like to identify the best 0-2 team. This year, there are two 0-2 teams that measure out on the positive side of the performance rankings: the Vikings who came in at 10 and the Chargers who came in at 14.

In the included chart, you will see each team, their win-loss record and the PossessionPoints measure of relative performance which is colored green, yellow or red. A green chart indicates a positive and strong team performance. A yellow chart indicates a mediocre to fair performance and a red chart tells the tale of trouble ahead.

These Performance Ratings are unique because they are based on in-game stats that are present in each game every week. Not present in these performance ratings are any opinion and or subjective measure of any type.
