Welcome to Week 2 of the 2025 NFL<\/a> season. The first wave of regular-season action was plenty dramatic, with big names like Aaron Rodgers<\/a> and Justin Herbert<\/a> showing up with highlight-reel finishes. And the second week has arguably been just as, if not more, noteworthy.<\/p>\n Rodgers, for example, took a step backward with the Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a> in his home debut wearing black and gold, tossing a pair of interceptions in a loss to the Seattle Seahawks<\/a>. AFC powers like the Buffalo Bills<\/a> and Baltimore Ravens<\/a> had no such trouble Sunday, combining for 71 points in decisive victories.<\/p>\n Another Steelers connection — current New York Giants<\/a> quarterback Russell Wilson<\/a> — had perhaps the most surprising performance of the day, launching 450 yards through the air but failing to finish against the Dallas Cowboys<\/a>. And one of the Steelers’ rivals, the Cincinnati Bengals<\/a>, may be in deep trouble despite advancing to 2-0 thanks to a certain someone going down with an injury against the Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a>.<\/p>\n Which teams fared the best (or worst) in Week 2?
