Here are my power rankings for Week One of the 2016 NFL season.
1. Carolina Panthers (15-1 final 2016 regular-season record)
The concern is, of course, in the secondary, where Carolina is set to start two rookies at cornerback with Josh Norman and Charles Tillman gone. But giving wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin back to the best quarterback in football makes Carolina a worthy No. 1.
2. Arizona Cardinals (13-3)
There is so much to like about this team. Yes, we have to wonder if quarterback Carson Palmer can stay healthy for an entire season again. But outside of that, this team is nearly flawless.
