I don't know if I'll do this every week, but for now, here are this week's power rankings. Yes, they don't mean anything. Still interesting to see where pundits think we rank.

Bengals #9 (Down from #7): Let Week 1 serve as a reminder of how good A.J. Green is. He dropped 180 yards against a secondary with Darrelle Revis. Green and the Bengals look to get their revenge against the Steelers this week.

Bengals #8 (Up from #9): Now that's how you shut people up, Andy Dalton. The Bengals' franchise -- that's right, franchise -- quarterback shook off seven sacks to make plays when his team needed it on Sunday. Would you believe that was the first time Cincinnati beat the Jets in New York in 10 meetings? The first loss there came in the last game of Cincy's inaugural season, in 1968, against Joe Namath and the eventual Super Bowl champion Jets. Back to Sunday: How about A.J. Green catching 12 freaking balls for 180 yards and a touchdown? Making Revis Island look more like Revis Port.

Bengals #3 (Up from #5): Andy Dalton came back after his injury last December and played well. The offensive line had issues against the Jets that need to be worked out.

Bengals #8 (No change): Andy Dalton withstood a relentless beating (7 sacks), made the most of a stripped-down receiving corps and led a clutch drive in his return.
