NFL Week 2 grades: Falcons earn ‘B+’ for shocking comeback win over Eagles, Cowboys get ‘F’ for blowout loss

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 6.25% of teams (2 of 32) have bounced back from an 0-2 start to make the postseason. 

That’s not great news for the Ravens, Bengals, Broncos, RamsTitans, Giants, Panthers, Colts and Jaguars, all teams that are now 0-2 after losing on Sunday. Of course, the Houston Texans did make the playoffs last season after starting 0-2, so getting to the postseason isn’t impossible, but all of these teams have dug themselves into a big hole that won’t be easy to get out of. 

With that in mind, let’s get to the grades. 

Atlanta 22-21 over Philadelphia (Monday)

New Orleans 44-19 over Dallas

Tampa Bay 20-16 over Detroit

Green Bay 16-10 over Colts
