Welcome to Week 2 classes!
The second week of the season is always a big one NFL, especially for 0-1 teams. If there’s one thing you don’t want, it’s to start the season 0-2. Since 2020, when the playoffs expanded to 14 teams, only 4.3% of teams (1 in 23) have rebounded from an 0-2 start to make the postseason.
That’s not great news for the Bengals, Patriots and Chargers, three teams that are 0-2 after Sunday’s loss. Of course, the Bengals happened to be the only team to recover from an 0-2 start to make the playoffs, so they’ll have to work on that magic again.
Speaking of magic, the Giants and Commanders seemed to have some in Week 2. The Giants matched the biggest comeback in franchise history when they overcame a 28-7 deficit to beat the Cardinals 31-28. As for the Commanders, they beat the Broncos 35-33 on a 21-3 run.
The Giants’ win kept them out of the 0-2 club. However, several other teams were not so lucky. Along with the Patriots, Chargers and Bengals, the Panthers, Texans, Cardinals, Broncos and Bears are off to 0-2 after losing on Sunday, and the Vikings are now 0-2 after losing on Thursday. It might sound like it’s too early to write off 0-2 teams, but history says that’s not the case.
Ok, enough of the 0-2 talk, we have stamps to give away, so let’s get to them.
