Welcome to the Week 2 grades!
The second week of the season is always a big one in the NFL, especially for 0-1 teams. 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 4.3% of teams (1 of 23) have bounced back from an 0-2 start to make the postseason.
That’s not great news for the Bengals and Chargers, two teams that are now 0-2 after losing on Sunday. Of course, the Bengals just happened to be the one team that recovered from an 0-2 start to make the playoffs, so they’re going to have to work that magic once again.
Besides those two games, the Texans and Bears are also off to an 0-2 start after losing on Sunday and the Vikings are now 0-2 after losing on Thursday. It might sounds like it’s too early to write off the 0-2 teams, but history says it’s not.
Alright, that’s enough 0-2 talk, we have grades to hand out, so let’s get to them.
