The San Francisco 49ers continued their 2026 campaign with a win for the home opener at Levi's® Stadium this past Sunday, defeating the Miami Dolphins 35-13. San Francisco has now won their home opener for the fifth-consecutive season. The win was a team effort from both sides of the ball, with QB Brock Purdy completing 20-of-22 passing attempts for 287 yards and two touchdowns. As the 49ers prepare for their second game of the home stand, let's take a look at where the team landed in the latest power rankings following Week 2.

Week 3 Power Rankings:

NFL Network: No. 7 (+2)

"Folks, Brock Purdy is dealing. Defenses have not been able to stop the 26-year-old in the first two weeks. Purdy is at the peak of his powers and completely comfortable running the show, dicing up the opposition and adding his own flair along the way. Quietly, the 49ers are dunking on the doubters, looking like one of the better teams in the NFL through two games."

ESPN: No. 3 (+2)

"Purdy has been one of the league's most productive quarterbacks since taking over the starting job in 2022. Now in his fifth season, he's completely comfortable in coach Kyle Shanahan's offense and is coming off his best training camp. That hot start has teammates such as linebacker Fred Warner openly wondering whether Purdy can compete for league MVP honors. Through two weeks, Purdy is atop the league in QBR (94.9) despite a supporting cast that has already been thinned by injury. If he stays healthy, there's reason to believe Purdy will post his best year yet."

"The stars continue to show up for this team, which is why it will be a serious playoff contender. With those guys on the field, and Kyle Shanahan coaching, they will be tough to beat."

FOX Sports: No. 3 (+4)

"The 49ers might be the most complete team in football. A terrific QB, great running game, excellent receivers, strong line, tough defense and a brilliant coach. They've got it all."

Yahoo! Sports: No. 3 (+2)

"The 49ers got a good runout to start the season. They got the Rams in Australia, when Los Angeles practically blew off that trip by landing the day before the game. Then they got the Dolphins, who have the worst roster in the NFL. They blew out both teams, which shouldn't be taken for granted in the NFL. Their point differential of +42 is dominant. They have had only two negative plays all season, not counting kneeldowns, the fewest for a team this century through two games, according to Doug Clawson of CBS. Brock Purdy is playing well, keeping the offense afloat despite receiver injuries already piling up, and the defense has given up only one touchdown to the Rams and another TD to the Dolphins when they were leading by 29 points in the final minutes. It has been an impressive start."
