TAMPA, Fla. — One week after Tom Brady threw two interceptions in a losing debut with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he led four touchdown drives — two that came off turnovers — to hold off the Carolina Panthers 31-17 on Sunday for his first Buccaneers win at Raymond James Stadium.

As we unveil the first regular-season edition of the NFL Power Rankings, we keep in mind the unique circumstances that led to Week 1.
