With eight weeks of the NFL season in the books, fans can start talking about legitimate Super Bowl contenders.
Some teams have been much better than anticipated, while others haven’t lived up to expectations.
While there’s a handful of teams on the outside looking in, a few have truly dominated so far.
With that in mind, pundit Craig Carton shared his updated power rankings.
The Power 5 in the NFL according to @craigcartonlive
5. @Patriots
4. @Lions
3. @packers
2. @Eagles

At No. 5, he has the red-hot New England Patriots.
Quarterback Drake Maye is looking like a real star, and the Patriots are back to the defensive dominance they displayed when head coach Mike Vrabel was a linebacker for the team.
The Detroit Lions are at No. 4 coming off their bye week.
Dan Campbell’s team is stacked on both sides of the ball, but still needs to prove itself against elite competition.
Then, Carton placed the new-look Green Bay Packers at No. 3.
Adding Micah Parsons has taken their defense to a new level, and quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.
Notably, the reigning Super Bowl champions are at No. 2, as the Philadelphia Eagles are coming off a dominant revenge win against the New York Giants.
Unsurprisingly, the Indianapolis Colts get the nod at No. 1.
They have the best record in the league and the most explosive offense to date.
