Ranking 5 worst losses in Week 2: Falcons, Buccaneers and Commanders all in the running

Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers sputtered in New England, while Jayden Daniels suffered another major injury setback as ugly Sunday performances piled up across the league. The second NFL Sunday of the year was much different than the first. Last Sunday featured the most combined points per game (53.3) in Week 1 of NFL history, while Week 2 didn't quite deliver. The Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears had to play in a torrential downpour and mustered just 12 total points. The Houston Texans couldn't score a single touchdown against the new-look Cincinnati Bengals defense, and Aaron Rodgers couldn't get the Pittsburgh Steelers into the end zone against the New England Patriots either.

The Atlanta Falcons were again atrocious, and the Los Angeles Chargers were again upset by a team they probably should have defeated. There were several bad losses on Sunday and a lot of disappointing results. They say Week 1 is a liar, but many teams should hope that Week 2 is the actual liar. Let's power-rank the five worst losses from around the NFL this past Sunday. The Steelers fell to the Patriots in New England, 20-3. It matched the fewest points in any game started and finished in Aaron Rodgers' career, going back to Week 1 of 2021. Rodgers completed 23 of 39 passes for 187 yards
