Comments:
2-0 teams: 49ers, Texans, Cardinals(!), Falcons, Eagles.
0-2 teams: Browns, Jaguars, Saints, Titans, Chiefs
And yeah, that's 3 NFC West teams in the top 5, and all 4 in the top 10. There's still a lot of football left to play, but that's not even close to the worst division in the NFL anymore.
The Eagles could very well be the worst 2-0 team we've seen in a long time. Through 2 games, they've given up 6 interceptions, 3 lost fumbles, and 4 sacks. The worst of that was in week 1, but it's certainly been a couple very ugly wins for the Eagles.
In spite of a sloppy game in week 1, there are some signs the Packers' defense has made some significant improvements over last year. They've had 4+ sacks in both games (only one such game in 2011), and thanks to a 7-sack performance this week, are already more than a third of the way toward matching their sack total of 2011.
Given that the Packers' defense has a significant population of rookies and free agents, it seems likely there will be at least a few more rough games defensively this year. But if they can pull things together by the second half of the season, the Packers should have a chance to make a solid playoff run this year.
Through 2 games, the Titans have the worst point differential (-49), the fewest total points scored (23), and the fewest rushing yards (58) of any team in the league. And only the Chiefs and Saints have given up more points. Unless things turn around fast, it's going to be a long, disappointing season in Tennessee this year.
