NFL Week 2 Grades: Falcons earn 'B+' for stunning comeback against Eagles, Cowboys get 'F' for blowout loss
Welcome to Week 2 Grades!
The second week of the season is always a big week 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 6.25% of teams (2 of 32) have returned to the postseason from an 0-2 start.
It's not great news for the Ravens, Bengals, Broncos, Rams, Titans, Giants, Panthers, Colts and Jaguars, who are now 0-2 after Sunday's loss. Sure, the Houston Texans made the playoffs last season after an 0-2 start, so reaching the postseason isn't impossible, but all of these teams have dug themselves into a big hole that won't be easy to climb out of. .
With that in mind, let's get to its grades.
