Sunday’s 35-point loss to the New Orleans Saints has the Green Bay Packers tumbling down the most recent USA TODAY NFL power rankings.
After starting the season at No. 4, the Packers dropped 10 spots to No. 14 entering Week 2.
Matt LaFleur’s team was one of three – joining the Baltimore Ravens and Tennessee Titans – to drop at least 10 spots from Week 1 to Week 2. The Packers scored the fewest amount of points (three) and have the worst point differential (-35) in the NFL after one week.
The Saints rocketed up the rankings, rising 11 spots to No. 5 following the 38-3 win in Jacksonville on Sunday.
