Welcome to the second week of classes!
The second week of the season is always a big week in National Football LeagueEspecially for teams that have gone 0-1. If there’s one thing you don’t want to do, it’s start the season with an 0-2 record. Since the playoffs expanded to 14 teams in 2020, only 6.25% of teams (2 of 32) have been able to come back from an 0-2 start to reach the postseason.
This isn’t good news for the Ravens, Bengals, Broncos, Rams, Titans, Giants, Panthers, Colts and Jaguars, all of whom have lost just two games since Sunday’s loss. Of course, the Houston Texans made the playoffs last season after losing just two games, so a postseason berth isn’t out of the question, but all of these teams have put themselves in a tight spot that won’t be easy to get out of.
With that in mind, let’s move on to the grades.
New Orleans 44-19 over Dallas
Tampa Bay 20-16 over Detroit
Green Bay 16-10 over Colts
New York Jets 24-17 over Tennessee
Minnesota 23-17 over San Francisco

Washington 21-18 over New York Giants
Los Angeles Chargers beat Carolina 26-3
Cleveland 18-13 over Jacksonville
Las Vegas 26-23 over Baltimore
Arizona 41-10 over Los Angeles Rams
Pittsburgh 13-6 over Denver
Kansas City 26-25 over Cincinnati
Buffalo 31-10 over Miami
