Week 1 of the NFL season is the perfect time of the year for overreactions. The and the suffered crushing kickoff weekend defeats while the stand alone in first place of their division. Will those results ultimately prove meaningle s?None of the victories and defeats in Week 1 are an indicator of how a team will perform this upcoming season, but it's fair to wonder if teams will carry their opening-week succe s and failures for several weeks, or even an entire year. The same rings true with a division.What we thought we know about the eight divisions in the NFL heading into the year -- well, Week 1 threw us a curveball. In our first edition of the NFL divisional power rankings for the 2021 regular season, we're pretty certain we have a grasp on the hierarchy of the league.That is ... at least until next week.This division going into the year was carried by the , the conference runner-up in consecutive seasons. In Week 1, had the fourth-worst game of his career in terms of pa ser rating (36.8) as Green Bay could only muster up three points in a 38-3 blowout lo s to . Not a banner day for the heavyweights of the division. The were embarra sed by the on "Sunday Night Football," and continue to use as their starting quarterback. The lost to the , a team that has won just six games over the last two seasons.The arguably had the division's best performance, rallying in the fourth quarter against the before falling 41-33 -- and having an opportunity to tie the game with under two minutes remaining. Still, Detroit trailed 41-17 with 9:53 left in the game before the 49ers took their foot off the gas pedal.Every team in the division gave up at least 27 Dustin Byfuglien Jersey points and Detroit was the only team to score more than 24. The division was outscored 130-70. The NFC North is the first division to finish 0-4 in Week 1 since the AFC North in 2013. For Week 1, they are the worst division in football. Let's give a round of applause to the Houston Texans for sitting alone atop of this division after Week 1. Unfortunately, that's not a good indicator of how this division fared as a whole. The have lost 16 consecutive games, including Sunday's defeat to a Houston team that may have the worst roster in the NFL. Jacksonville has given up 24 points or more in 16 consecutive games --the longest streak in NFL history -- and gave up 37 to and Houston.The may have had a worse day than the Jaguars, getting blown out by the at home. had another fumble in the lo s (his 20 giveaways since the start of the 2020 season are the most in the NFL) and the defense could only get to throw five incompletions.Tenne see was run out of the building by the -- at home. They only had 248 yards of offense and committed three turnovers, while the offensive line allowed six sacks (five to ). Every team in the division allowed 28 points or more except for the Texans -- and they played the Jaguars. If it wasn't for the Texans, this division would have had an embarra sing Week 1 acro s the board.Thanks to the and , this division isn't the worst in football. The Cowboys did lose to the defending Super Bowl champion , but threw for 403 yards and three touchdowns and the defensive forced four turnovers. Dallas probably shouldn't have lost this game, as the Cowboys were the first team since the 1996 St. Louis Rams to put up 450 yards of offense and four turnovers on the road -- and lose.The Eagles were the lone winner in the division, blowing out the by 26 points. Philadelphia's defense held Atlanta to 113 yards on its final nine po se sions, allowing just 3.05 yards per play. was excellent and the Eagles rushed for 173 yards behind a healthy offensive line. Washington lost to injury, but still put up a valiant effort against the in a 20-16 lo s -- despite dominating the Football Team's ferocious pa s rush. The looked like the worst team in the division, as had another crucial fumble and the defense allowed and the to ama s 420 yards of offense.The NFC East is improved from last year, but still has trouble beating teams from outside the division.The sit atop of this division, earning a huge road win in Foxborough against the .

The Dolphins arguably have the best defense in the division, forcing two Patriots' fumbles and holding New England to just 1 of 4 in the red zone. and the run game needs to improve, but that's a hard task against New England anyway.

Buffalo only scored 16 points and finished 1 of 4 in the red zone. Regardle s, the Bills are still one of the top teams in the AFC.The are rebuilding, and they weren't expected to beat the . Zach Wilson had a solid game in spite of a nonexistent rushing attack and an offensive line that lost for 4-6 weeks. The AFC East has a lot of talented young quarterbacks and they are going to beat each other up over the course of the year. The Bills beating the Steelers would have them higher in the rankings.All of a sudden this division looks much better than it did a week ago, thanks to the New Orleans Saints. threw for five touchdowns Bobby Hull Jersey as the Saints dominated the Green Bay Packers at a temporary home in Jacksonville. The victory was a statement for New Orleans, who allowed just three points and 229 yards to the reigning league MVP and one of the NFL's top offenses. The Saints may be challenging the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for division supremacy after all.The Buccaneers still have and all 22 starters back from their Super Bowl championship team. Dallas gave Tampa Bay its best shot, but Brady rallied the Buccaneers to victory. The Carolina Panthers are a much better team with back, and earned a tough victory over a young Jets team. Whether they can compete in the division remains to be seen. The Atlanta Falcons had a disastrous performance against the Eagles, scoring just six points as was hit nine times. Arthur Smith had an embarra sing debut as Atlanta might be one of the worst teams in the NFL.Tampa Bay and New Orleans can carry this division, but Carolina and Atlanta need to be better.An impre sive performance for this division in Week 1.

The Pittsburgh Steelers had an impre sive win in Buffalo, forcing plenty of mistakes by the Bills and holding one of the league's best offenses to 16 points. Special teams were also impre sive in the win, as a Uly ses Gilbert blocked punt led to the deciding score. Cleveland and Pittsburgh appear to be the favorites in this talented division.Cincinnati earned a huge overtime win over Minnesota, as return sparked the Bengals offense. The Bengals could play spoiler in the division if Burrow stays healthy all 17 games. Injuries have hurt the Baltimore Ravens, but their defense blew an opportunity to put away the , allowing a game-tying field goal and the game-winning touchdown in overtime. two fumbles were costly, but Baltimore should still be a factor in the division race.If the Ravens had beaten the Raiders, this division moves up a spot.The AFC West doesn't need to be carried by the Kansas City Chiefs, the five-time defending division champions. Kansas City is the best team in the division, earning an excellent comeback victory over a very good Browns team. The Chiefs are 9-2 in their last 11 games which they trailed by double digits, all quarterbacked by .
