ESPN's Keyshawn Johnson has revealed his top six NFL teams heading into Week 2, with the Kansas City Chiefs taking the top spot and the San Francisco 49ers making a significant climb.
1. **Kansas City Chiefs (2-0)**
The reigning AFC champions remain atop the NFL pecking order after two dominant wins. Patrick Mahomes continues to dazzle with his elite arm talent, while the Chiefs' defense has shown a remarkable improvement under new coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.

2. **Philadelphia Eagles (2-0)**
The Eagles have looked like a Super Bowl contender through their first two games. Jalen Hurts has taken a major leap forward as a passer, and the defense has been suffocating. Philadelphia could be a serious threat in the NFC East this season.

3. **Buffalo Bills (2-0)**

4. **San Francisco 49ers (2-0)**
The 49ers have made a significant climb in Johnson's rankings after a pair of impressive wins. Trey Lance has shown flashes of his immense potential at quarterback, and the defense has looked formidable. San Francisco could be a major player in the NFC West this season.
5. **Dallas Cowboys (1-1)**
The Cowboys opened the season with a disappointing loss to the Buccaneers, but they rebounded with a strong win over the Bengals. Dak Prescott is playing well, and the defense is showing signs of improvement. Dallas is a legitimate contender in the NFC East.
6. **Green Bay Packers (1-1)**
The Packers have looked inconsistent through their first two games, but they remain a dangerous team with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback. If the Packers can get their running game going, they could be a major threat in the NFC North.
Honorable Mention:
* Cincinnati Bengals
* Baltimore Ravens
* Tennessee Titans
* Indianapolis Colts
* New York Giants
The NFL season is still young, and there are plenty of teams that could make a move in the rankings. However, these six teams have shown the most promise through the first two weeks of the season.
