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

Seattle 23-20 over New England (OT)

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
