Week 1 of the NFL season is in the books. The Jacksonville Jaguars opened their season with an unraveling loss against the Miami Dolphins.
They now turn their attention to the Cleveland Browns , who'll travel to EverBank Stadium on Sunday and are coming off a defeat at the hands of the Dallas Cowboys.
See how the Jaguars and Browns stack up against the rest of the league.
Here are the Week 2 Power Rankings:
From the leadership counsel: Here's why Jacksonville Jaguars don't think sky is falling after Week 1 loss to Dolphins
1. Kansas City Chiefs: Survive and advance. The Chiefs outlasted the Ravens in the season opener and keep the top spot.
2. San Francisco 49ers: No McCaffrey? No problem.
3. Philadelphia Eagles: The Saquon Barkley experience is off to a rocking start. His three touchdowns led the way in Philadelphia's season opening win.
4. Dallas Cowboys: All is well in Jerry's World.
5. Buffalo Bills: They ended up in a shootout with a team they probably should've beaten by two touchdowns. It's early.
6. Houston Texans: CJ Stroud and Houston walked away with a vital AFC South victory against the Colts.
7. Detroit Lions: The Lions' hype train keeps rolling. They claim the first OT victory of the season.
8. Baltimore Ravens: If only Isiah Likely wore one shoe size smaller, they might be higher on this list. They're still a top team in the league.
9. Miami Dolphins: Miami showed that they can flip a game in an instant. An impressive come back after a slow start.
10. New Orleans Saints: What a statement win against a division rival. Still to be seen if it was just the level of competition. They deserve the acknowledgement regardless.
WHAT A VOICE: How James Earl Jones helped Jacksonville land the Jaguars
11. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Mike Evans is still showing that he's one of the best targets in the game. Baker Mayfield's resurgence should be studied.
12. Seattle Seahawks: A very balanced win for the Seahawks puts them in the middle of the pack.
13. Los Angeles Rams: Matthew Stafford is still one of the best quarterbacks in the league.
14. Chicago Bears: Caleb Williams picked up his first win in the NFL thanks to a strong showing from his defense.
15. Los Angeles Chargers: Jim Harbaugh opens his account with a win. They'll face the Panthers next week with a little bit of wind at their backs.
16. New York Jets: Aaron Rodgers showed flashes of himself in his first game back.
17. Indianapolis Colts: When healthy, Anthony Richardson can do some pretty impressive things.
18. Green Bay Packers: The Packers hung tough against Philadelphia. Jordan Love's injury drops them pretty far, however.
19. New England Patriots: An impressive start for the Patriots, outlasting an AFC powerhouse.
20. Pittsburgh Steelers: Mike Tomlin keeps finding ways to win with relatively little talent.
21. Jacksonville Jaguars : Not the ideal start for the Jaguars against Miami. Maybe they haven't put last season behind them just yet.
22. Cincinnati Bengals: They have a lot of things to work out. Maybe they should start with paying their star receiver.

23. Washington Commanders: Jayden Daniels struggled early but he made some nice plays for Washington.
24. Tennessee Titans: The Titans were up 17-3 at the break before allowing Caleb Williams to walk them down and Chicago's defense to blank them in the second half.
25. Minnesota Vikings: Sam Darnold outplayed Daniel Jones, but they won't play the Giants every week.
26. Atlanta Falcons: It feels like this team is frontrunners. There was a lot of hype before the year started and a lot of struggles against a team that played a backup quarterback.
27. Denver Broncos: Probably not the start they were hoping for with Bo Nix.
28. Arizona Cardinals: Marvin Harrison Jr. seeing 3 of Arizona's 31 passing targets is a choice.
29. Las Vegas Raiders: Live by the Minshew, die by the Minshew.
30. Cleveland Browns: Myles Garret is the only reason they aren't last on this ranking.
31. New York Giants: It's a long road ahead for the Giants in a division with two top-10 ranked teams.
32. Carolina Panthers: No comment.
