2008 Power Rankings: Week 3 RK (LW) TEAM REC COMMENT 1 (1) Cowboys 2-0-0 Survived a game against the Eagles that they easily could have lost. Now they just have to prepare for a showdown with the Packers. (MM) 2 (2) Steelers 2-0-0 The Steelers took control of the AFC North with a big win over Cleveland. Now it's time for Pittsburgh to prove it's one of the elite teams in the NFL with another big road game against Philadelphia. (JW) 3 (5) Giants 2-0-0 The Giants summarily dismissed the Rams, but that's not saying much. The Giants have found success in the post-Umenyiora era. (MM) 4 (7) Packers 2-0-0 They've feasted on two winless teams. Now the Packers face the biggest game of the young season: A home matchup against Dallas that should establish early NFC supremacy. (KS) 5 (6) Eagles 1-1-0 Valiant effort against the Cowboys by Donovan McNabb and the rest of his team. (MM) 6 (9) Patriots 2-0-0 They're still the AFC East team to beat even if they don't have superduperstar QB Tom Brady. Matt Cassel played it safe against the Jets, and that was good enough. They should be 3-0 with the Dolphins coming to Foxborough. (TG) 7 ( Colts 1-1-0 Fortunate to be 1-1 and in position to drop Jacksonville to 0-3. Run game and run defense have to improve. (PK) 8 (12) Panthers 2-0-0 Undefeated without WR Steve Smith and only better as he comes back from a two-game suspension. Defense playing at best level in years. (PY) 9 (11) Titans 2-0-0 Last time the Titans started 2-0 was 1999, when they made their only Super Bowl appearance. Upcoming schedule is awfully friendly. (PK) 10 (13) Bills 2-0-0 The Bills scored 10 points in the fourth quarter in a comeback victory in the Jacksonville heat. They should be 3-0 after their home game against the reeling Raiders.
