Week 2 of the 2024 season is behind us, and before we turn the page to Week 3, it's time for FOX Sports lead NFL analyst Tom Brady to reveal his current Top 5 teams!

"Here are my top five teams heading into Week 3," he said. "They're definitely not what we would've predicted heading into the season. Super Bowls are not won in September, but these teams are off to a great start."

Here's who Brady has ranked as his five best teams after Week 2!

Tom Brady’s Top 5 Teams of Week 2: Chiefs, Bills, Buccaneers, Texans & Saints | DIGITAL EXCLUSIVE

5. New Orleans Saints (2-0) (Last week: Unranked)

Week 2 result: Defeated Dallas Cowboys, 44-19

Brady's thoughts: "I was there at that game [on Sunday]. They scored touchdowns on each of the first six possessions of the game in Dallas. A 25-point win on the road. Derek Carr has scored in 15 straight possessions at quarterback this year. And they have 91 points through the first two games of the season. They're off to a great start."

4. Houston Texans (2-0) (Last week: 4)

Week 2 result: Defeated Chicago Bears, 19-13

Brady's thoughts: "We know what this offense is capable of. You've got C.J. Stroud at quarterback — Nico Collins, [Stefon] Diggs and [Joe] Mixon. But the defense, they stole the show on ‘Sunday Night Football.' They held the Bears to 13 points. They sacked Caleb Williams seven times. A really impressive performance."

3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-0) (Last week: Unranked)

Week 2 result: Defeated Detroit Lions, 20-16

Brady's thoughts: "They got revenge from their playoff loss last year in Week 2 against the Lions. They played a great game. Their defense was the definition of bend, don't break. The Lions were 1 of 7 in the red zone. They picked off [Jared] Goff twice, and they played great defense when it mattered the most."

2. Buffalo Bills (2-0) (Last week: Unranked)

Week 2 result: Defeated Miami Dolphins, 31-10

Brady's thoughts: "They had a huge road win in Miami on ‘Thursday Night Football.' James Cook had a huge night — three TDs. Their defense picked off Tua [Tagovailoa] three times. They held the Dolphins to 10 points at home. Not only that, they've put up 30-plus points in each of their first two games. What an impressive performance."

1. Kansas City Chiefs (2-0) (Last week: 1)

Week 2 result: Defeated Cincinnati Bengals, 26-25

Brady's thoughts: "At No. 1, again, for two weeks in a row, the Kansas City Chiefs. They're off to a 2-0 start. It wasn't their prettiest win against Cincinnati, but great teams find a way to win. They have, unfortunately, [Isiah] Pacheco with the broken fibula. That might hurt a little bit. Patrick [Mahomes] only threw for 151 yards, but until you beat the champs, they're still going to be No. 1 in my book."
