Critics wondering if the San Francisco 49ers would make a dent in NFL power rankings after an ugly Week 1 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had their concerns put to rest in Week 2, following a one-sided 41-17 domination over the Cincinnati Bengals.
The 49ers piled up 259 yards of rushing offense during the game, completely taking control before the half and keeping up the momentum throughout all four quarters.
It’s safe to say San Francisco will make a nice little jump in Niner Noise’s Week 3 NFL power rankings.
There are also some shakeups from our Week 2 power rankings, including the New Orleans Saints dropping a bit after losing in ugly fashion to the 49ers’ NFC West division rivals, the Los Angeles Rams.
