Top 10 Most Surprising NFL Teams of Week 2 (2022)

The Top Ten

  1. New York Jets

    The New York Jets are a professional American football team based in the New York metropolitan area. They compete in the National Football League as a member of the American Football Conference (AFC) East division. The Jets play their home games at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, which... read more

    How did New York pull that off? The Jets? That's the most surprising comeback I've seen since 28-3. I mean, a 13-point comeback in less than 2 minutes is impressive, but from the Jets? They should've been a gimme win for the Browns, but they actually stole one from them against all odds. I can't tell if it was more the Jets' talent or the Browns choking it away, but they did get the onside kick, so you have to give them some credit.

  2. Cincinnati Bengals

    The Cincinnati Bengals are a professional American football franchise based in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Bengals currently compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league's American Football Conference North division. They have appeared in the Super Bowl three times, most recently... read more

    Okay, Bengals, what was that? Are you going to shake the hangover curse soon, or what? The offense looked more dysfunctional than in week 1, and Joe Burrow was getting destroyed again. This should have been an easy blowout, but no, you lost an easily winnable game.

    Here's a hot take for you: Last year was a fluke. You are frauds. You only made the Super Bowl because Mahomes forgot how to play football.

  3. Dallas Cowboys

    The Dallas Cowboys are a professional American football team based in the Dallas - Fort Worth metroplex. The Cowboys compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league's National Football Conference East division. The team was established in 1960 and has won five Super Bowl championships... read more

    This team beat Cincinnati? The Cowboys? Without their prized starting quarterback Dak. This shouldn't have been a game, yet here we are in a world where this was not only a game, but Dallas somehow won. I still don't understand how they did it, to be honest.

  4. New York Giants

    The New York Giants are a professional American football team located in the New York metropolitan area. They compete in the National Football League as a member club of the National Football Conference East division. The franchise was founded in 1925 and has won eight NFL championships, including four... read more

    Are the Giants not terrible for once? Yes, it's the Panthers who are free falling at the moment, asking for Matt Rhule to be fired, but to their credit, the Giants stepped up and made plays when they needed to. It still feels weird to see a 2-0 mark next to the Giants' name, but this is the result of a head coach who's actually competent. Something about the Giants feels different. There's feelings of optimism in Giants land, and that's all you can hope for if you're a fan.

  5. Jacksonville Jaguars

    The Jacksonville Jaguars are a professional American football team based in Jacksonville, Florida. They compete in the National Football League as a member of the American Football Conference (AFC) South division. The Jaguars were established in 1993 and began play as an expansion team in 1995.

    Is Jacksonville actually good? I mean Trevor Lawrence had a good game, and the Jaguars' offense was working well. I can't tell if it was the Jaguars exceeding expectations or the Colts just being that bad, but regardless, the Jaguars on paper had an impressive performance.

  6. Indianapolis Colts

    The Indianapolis Colts are an American football team based in Indianapolis, Indiana. The Colts compete in the National Football League as a member club of the American Football Conference South division. The franchise has won two Super Bowls, in 1970 and 2006.

    Where did the offense go? It's like this team is cursed when they play in Jacksonville or something. I cannot explain how the offense just vanished out of existence. The Colts not only should have won, they should have at least made this a game.

    What happened here? Jonathan Taylor didn't do anything of note, and Matt Ryan had an awful game. For a team that's supposed to be competitive, this is alarming.

  7. Miami Dolphins

    The Miami Dolphins are a professional American football franchise located in the Miami metropolitan area. The team competes in the National Football League as a member club of the American Football Conference East division. The Dolphins were established in 1966 and have won two Super Bowls.

    That was some impressive stuff from Tua. The Dolphins looked like toast for three quarters, then all of a sudden, they came storming back into this game. Thanks to Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill, they torched the Ravens' defense to shreds.

    If you didn't think Miami was legit before, they sure showed they are for real with that game. Don't underestimate the Dolphins. They could make some serious noise.

  8. Cleveland Browns

    The Cleveland Browns are a professional American football team based in Cleveland, Ohio. The Browns compete in the National Football League as a member team of the American Football Conference (AFC) North division.

    The Browns are one of the four NFL teams to have never appeared in a Super Bowl... read more

    Cleveland, what the hell was that? You made Joe Flacco look elite in 2022! Do you know how hard that is to do? It's almost impressive that you blew a 13-point lead in less than 2 minutes. That's a special kind of choke job, ripping defeat from the jaws of victory right in front of your own fanbase. Not even Atlanta could obtain that level of choking power. Sorry, Cleveland, no happy ending for you. And you don't deserve a happy ending either when your fans defend Deshaun Watson.

  9. Baltimore Ravens

    The Baltimore Ravens are a professional American football team based in Baltimore, Maryland. The Ravens compete in the National Football League as a member club of the American Football Conference North division. The team was established in 1996 and has won two Super Bowl titles, in 2000 and 2012.

    I just have one question: HOW? The Ravens had a 21-point lead TWICE and STILL lost this game! What in the Atlanta Falcons was that?

    Even Atlanta is jealous of your choking performance. That's an embarrassment right there. You don't just recover from that kind of loss. Congratulations, you just shut up all the Tua haters out there, thanks to your alleged defense.

  10. Atlanta Falcons

    The Atlanta Falcons are a professional American football team based in Atlanta, Georgia. The Falcons compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league's National Football Conference South division. The team was established in 1965 and has appeared in two Super Bowls.

    Atlanta, I'm not surprised, was down 28-3 against the Rams. What I am surprised by is the fact that they came back and made it a game. This Falcons team came back against the Rams.

    I feel like it says more about the Rams than the Falcons, but still, it was a valiant effort for Atlanta, who many were expecting to roll over and die.
