Yahoo Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The Minnesota Vikings remain undefeated at 2-0 despite limited snaps from injured QB Kyler Murray, with a dominant defense led by coordinator Brian Flores blitzing at an unprecedented rate.
- The NFC North defenses, including the Lions and Bears, are struggling significantly, with Detroit's defense particularly vulnerable, having allowed the second-most passing yards in the NFL so far.
- Several teams, including the Miami Dolphins (0-2) and Atlanta Falcons (0-2), are off to poor starts, with the Dolphins notably never leading in any game through two weeks.
- The Los Angeles Raiders have started strong at 2-0, with both offense and defense showing marked improvement, while the Chargers and Buccaneers are among the most disappointing teams early in the season.
- The NFL power rankings after Week 2 place the Buffalo Bills at number one, followed by the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers, with the Vikings ranked 10th and showing promise despite offensive struggles.
