Bleacher Report
Through 2 weeks of the 2024 NFL season, whatever has actually gone entirely according to script– if that script was composed by a space filled with monkeys with typewriters consuming Beefeater.
In 2015’s front runner in the AFC? The Baltimore Ravens are 0-2 after being stunned by the Las Vegas Raiders in the house. Are the Cincinnati Bengals, who nabbed defeat from the jaws of success with a DPI call on 4th-and-16 in Kansas City. Both groups from in 2015’s NFC Championship Game lost in Week 2 to unexpected 2-0 groups in the Minnesota Vikings and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And the NFL’s many dominant group? The group that has scored 91 points in 2 weeks and simply ended the Dallas Cowboys’ 16-game home winning streak in blowout style?
The New Orleans Saints– much like precisely nobody anticipated.
The Los Angeles Rams are reeling from a list of injuries. Their SoFi Stadium roomies are another surprise 2-0 group. The Seattle Seahawks and Pittsburgh Steelers are unbeaten first-place groups.
About the only thing that has actually made good sense up until now this season is that the Carolina Panthers are still dreadful.
A wild and goofy Week 2 tossed the NFL’s chain of command into a mixer. Bleacher Report NFL Analysts Gary Davenport, Kristopher Knox, Maurice Moton and Brent Sobleski did their finest to arrange through that margarita of chaos and slot all 32 groups from worst to.
The groups at either end have actually stayed consistent. In in between? Buckle up– it’s a rough trip.

Week 2 Result: Lost vs. Los Angeles Chargers 26-3
Things simply keep becoming worse and even worse for the Carolina Panthers.
The Panthers were the league’s worst group in 2015– a 2-15 mess of a team that fired its coach midseason. Now, the group has actually in some way discovered a method to be even worse than that tomato can.
Panthers quarterback Bryce Young was dreadful as soon as again– 84 passing lawns, a choice and a passer score of less than 60. As Jeff Kerr composed for CBS Sports, those were far from the only awful numbers surrounding these pitiful Panthers.
“In addition to Young’s battles, the Panthers ended up being the 3rd group considering that the NFL merger to route by 20+ points at halftime in the very first 2 video games of the season, signing up with the 1978 Baltimore Colts and 2018 Buffalo Bills. The Panthers have 28 first-half points in their last 10 video games integrated and have actually been outscored 150-28 over that period. This is the least first-half points (28) by any group in a 10-game period given that the 2002 Dallas Cowboys. The Panthers ended up being the first string given that the 2022 Giants to score 10 or less points in 4 straight video games.
