FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. —The second week of the 2024 season had a little bit of everything: Last-second wins, big-time upsets, questions answered, questions remaining. No matter how you looked at it, the slate of games and their outcomes in Week 2 were everything you’d want the league to be and more.

The big movers and shakers of Week 2 actually came out of the NFC South, and no we’re not just saying this because the Falcons are in the NFC South. It’s true. The Saints, Buccaneers and Falcons all made national headlines thanks to their wins this week. Meanwhile, the Panthers made headlines for other reasons entirely. We’ll talk more about all of this and how everything shook out in the power rankings below.
