Stephen A. Smith Names Top 5 NFL Teams After Week 2
09/17/2024 01:37 PM
Nine NFL teams remain undefeated after just two weeks of NFL football. But only five can make Stephen A. Smith's "Stephen's A-List."
On Tuesday's edition of First Take, Smith revealed his newest ranking of the top five teams in the NFL. Naturally, he pulled exclusively from the undefeated ranks, so teams like the Eagles, Bengals, Ravens and his beloved Dallas Cowboys had no shot.
Taking fifth place were the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who surprised many by beating the Detroit Lions in Detroit to hand them their first loss at home since last Thanksgiving. In fourth were the Los Angeles Chargers, who dominated the hapless Carolina Panthers.
His No. 3 team was his top NFC team: The New Orleans Saints. He gave Derek Carr and company major props for beating the Cowboys and being nigh unstoppable on offense.
For his top two he naturally had the Kansas City Chiefs, but decided to give them the No. 2 spot due to the back-to-back close calls they've had. His top pick was the Buffalo Bills, who have defied preseason expectations to dominate the competitive AFC East early.
To recap, here's his list:
- Buffalo Bills
- Kansas City Chiefs
- New Orleans Saints
- Los Angeles Chargers
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Fans weighed in on the list made by the man The Spun's audience voted "Most Annoying Person In Sports Media."
"Texans instead of Chargers but other than that I agree with the list," one user replied to First Take's post.
"Im a Bills fan and this is sus," wrote another.
"I don't agree with the Bills on the 1 spot. That being said, I don't think the Chiefs are there either. Also, Chiefs fans are losing their damn minds right now," a third wrote.
Do you agree with Smith's Stephen's A-List?
