Most Surprising NFL Teams of Week 2 (2022)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
