Pats Rank High in Preseason Poll

There are still plenty of acquisitions, injuries and drama bound to take place before the 2009 NFL season commences this fall, but in the meantime there’s one question still floating around the football ream: who’s number one? We all watched the Pittsburgh Steelers rip a Super Bowl championship out of the hands of the Arizona Cardinals last winter, but how do the Steelers stack up to several other newly-improved teams around the league? NFL.com’s Pat Kirwan ranked all 32 teams based on last year’s performances and this year’s players, and it’s no surprise that the Tom Brady-led New England Patriots are back at the top of the rankings, coming in at number two in the rankings.

According to the NFL.com standings, the defending Super Bowl champs the Steelers are once again dominating the scene, standing at number one on the rankings charts. The Patriots, of course, are in the number two slot, while the Philadelphia Eagles, New York Giants and Indianapolis Colts round out the top five. Following these top five teams are the Baltimore Ravens, Atlanta Falcons, San Diego Chargers, Arizona Cardinals and Tennessee Titans, making the top 10 teams in the NFL one tough battle to the top.
