New England Patriots stay put in Week 2 NFL Power Rankings
By Nick Ziegler
In Week 1, the Bears were a dropped pass in the end zone away from pulling off the upset against the Falcons. However, they did not play nearly as well in Week 2. The Bears were blown out by a fresh Buccaneers team, and they are now 0-2. Since Mike Glennon threw two interceptions in the loss, he will certainly be feeling the pressure with Mitchell Trubisky sitting on the bench.
Playing on a short week against the defending Super Bowl champions turned out to be too much of a challenge for the Saints at home. The Saints’ defense had no answer for the Patriots’ offense, and it showed on the final score. While Brees was still able to total over 300 passing yards, the Saints need to be able to stop some teams if they are going to win games.
Another week of football resulted in another heartbreaking loss for the Chargers. Despite playing well against a rested Dolphins team, the Chargers came up short in Los Angeles. A missed field goal at the end of the game for the second week in a row resulted in a 0-2 start for the Chargers. Overall the team is playing well, unfortunately, they have no wins to show for it.
