The Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots Tre'Davious White Jersey , who met in the Super Bowl, switched places on Tuesday in the latest AP Pro32 poll .
The defending champion Eagles opened the season on top, with the Patriots a close second.
After the first week of the regular season, it's the Patriots on top with three of the 12 first-place votes and 367 points in balloting by media members who regularly cover the NFL.
The Patriots opened the season with a 27-20 win over the Houston Texans. Tom Brady threw for 277 yards and three touchdowns.
"Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski put away any offseason speculation about their futures in New England by picking up where they left off," said Jenny Vrentas of The Monday Morning Quarterback. "Just as notable was the much improved performance by the Patriots' defense."
The Eagles received six first-place votes for 366 points despite their sluggish 18-12 win over the Atlanta Falcons.
The Minnesota Vikings remained at No. 3 with 363 points. In his first start with the Vikings, Kirk Cousins had 244 yards and two touchdowns in a 24-16 victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
"Solid start for Kirk Cousins at quarterback," said John Clayton of 710 ESPN in Seattle.
The L.A. Rams are close behind again at No. 4. The Rams earned the other three first-place votes for 360 points.
"After a shaky first half, Rams put on a clinic against the overmatched Raiders and show that (coach) Sean McVay's team looks ready to live up to the Super Bowl hype," Newsday's Bob Glauber said of the Rams' opening 33-13 rout of the Raiders on Monday night.
The Jacksonville Jaguars moved up two spots to No. 5 and face a big test on Sunday when they host the Patriots in a rematch of last season's AFC championship game.
"The Jags have waited almost eight months to avenge a bitter loss in Foxborough that cost them a Super Bowl berth," said Ira Kaufman of Fox 13 in Tampa, Florida.
The Green Bay Packers jumped three spots to No. 6 after Aaron Rodgers led a remarkable comeback from a 20-0 deficit to a 24-23 victory on Sunday night after briefly leaving the game with a knee injury.
The Packers will host the Vikings on Sunday in one of the top matchups of Week 2.
"Aaron Rodgers and the Packers were impressive in the second half Sunday, but let's be honest, the real test comes against the Vikings Lyle Alzado Jersey ," said Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk.
The Kansas City Chiefs moved up six spots to No. 7 after beating the AFC West rival Los Angeles Chargers 38-28. The Chiefs will get another road challenge this week as they head to Heinz Field to face the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Carolina Panthers rose three spots to No. 8 after topping the Dallas Cowboys 16-8.
The Baltimore Ravens leaped five places to No. 9 after routing the Buffalo Bills 47-3.
The Ravens will open Week 2 when they head to Cincinnati to face the Bengals on Thursday night.
"(The Ravens) look like AFC North favorites," Fox Sports' John Czarnecki said.
The Falcons fell two spots to No. 10. They are scheduled to host the Panthers on Sunday in their home opener at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, site of the next Super Bowl.
The New York Jets, who opened the season in last place, soared to No. 17 after their 48-17 rout of the Detroit Lions, who fell from No. 19 to No. 30.
"Either the Detroit Lions are that bad or the Jets are going to be a lot better than I thought," said Alex Marvez of The Sporting News.
The strength of a contending club often isnr17;t determined by who plays every day, but who plays only every few days. Or every few weeks. Or even every few months.
The Milwaukee Brewers were concerned when they began their Friday night game in Cincinnati with two injured starting outfielders, Lorenzo Cain and Christian Yelich, then lost the other starter, Ryan Braun, to lower back tightness in the seventh inning.
But manager Craig Counsell plugged in exactly the right pieces, and a spare outfield group that probably should be called r0;The Replacementsr1; keyed an 8-2 victory over the Reds.
Howr17;s this for a couple of fills-in Jerick McKinnon Jersey , who did nothing except fill up the box score: Keon Broxton was 3-for-4 with two homers, four RBIs, a run stolen by some alert baserunning and an exceptional sliding catch.
And Hernan Perez, who came in after Braun was hurt, contributed a two-run double to start a five-run ninth inning.
r0;They (the Brewers outfield) have been the workhorse of this team, so Ir17;ve got to come in and fill their spot while theyr17;re down. It was a good night,r1; said Broxton, who played in only his third game this season.
Because their bench came through yet again r12; on Thursday night, part-time starter Eric Thames hit his third consecutive game-winning homer against the Reds r12; the Brewers can assure them of winning the four-game series by taking Saturdayr17;s game at Great American Ball Park.
r0;It speaks to our depth again r30; wer17;ve had a couple of games like that where (bench players) make meaningful contributions,r1; Counsell said. r0;With Yelich down, wer17;re counting on Keon, so itr17;s got to be a good feeling for him.r1;
The last-place Reds had won nine of 10 coming in to the series, but still canr17;t seem to solve the Brewers Devin McCourty Jersey , who have won seven of eight games against Cincinnati. Milwaukee owns the National Leaguer17;s best record at 48-33.
r0;These guys have been battling all year and theyr17;re in a good spot right now, so Ir17;m trying to do my best to keep them right there,r1; Broxton said.
Milwaukee will send out right-hander Jhoulys Chacin (6-3), who has lost his last two decisions, on Saturday to face Reds right-hander Tyler Mahle (6-6), who has won his last three decisions during a span of six starts.
r0;Wer17;ve got to play better. r30; Their pitching kind of stifled us the last two nights,r1; Reds interim manager Jim Riggleman said. r0;Wer17;ve got to turn it back on r30; crank it up again with our bats.r1;
Yelich sat out with a lower back issue. Her17;s listed as day to day r12; and so Broxton made his second start since being recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs on Tuesday.
Broxton had an RBI single in the second against Sal Romano (4-8), then hit the first of his two homers to make the score 2-0 in the fourth. Then, with Milwaukee up 2-1 in the eighth after reliever Michael Lorenzenr17;s homer for the Reds, Broxton appeared to be caught off third by Reds catcher Tucker Barnhart.
But he eluded a tag by falling down, then scored as Orlando Arcia distracted the Reds by allowing himself to be tagged off second.
Broxton finished quite an eveningr17;s work with a two-run homer in the ninth and a stretched-out catch of Scooter Gennettr17;s drive into the right-center field gap with two runners on base.
r0;Her17;s been up and down (from the minors) a little bit, but her17;s very talented,r1; Riggleman said of Broxton Alec Ogletree Jersey , who hit only .220 while spending most of last season with Milwaukee. r0;He can do a lot of things r12; he can hit with power, he can run and he plays great defense.r1;
The Reds didnr17;t do much against Brewers starter Chase Anderson, who limited them to one other hit besides Lorenzenr17;s homer in six innings, and relievers Josh Hader, Jeremy Jeffress and Dan Jennings.
Now, the Brewers would like to get Chacin straightened out. His ERA jumped from 3.18 to 3.82 as he gave up eight runs, nine hits and five walks in 4 1/3 innings during an 8-2 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday. Chacin is 2-3 in nine career games against the Reds. He didnr17;t get the decision during a 6-5 Brewers win on April 30.
In Mahler17;s only previous start against the Brewers, Thames beat him with a two-run homer in a 2-0 Milwaukee win on April 18. Authentic Womens Donte Jackson Jersey
