NFL power rankings, Week 2: NY Giants take massive jump

The New York Giants generated major momentum heading into Week 2 after climbing significantly in the league power rankings. John Harbaugh launched his tenure as the club's head coach with an impressive 28-20 victory against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football.

The result secured the franchise's first Week 1 triumph since 2022 and represented its first opening-week home victory dating back to 2010.

Several key contributors fueled the opening-week success. Tight end Isaiah Likely made a vital impact on the offensive unit after accompanying Harbaugh to New York.

Meanwhile, sophomore quarterback Jaxson Dart drew high praise from his new head coach following the strong performance, which also featured wideout Malik Nabers as the team prepares for an upcoming Week 2 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.
