27.) Baltimore Ravens (0-2)
The NFL schedule-makers didn’t do the Baltimore Ravens any favors by making them travel to the West Coast on back-to-back weeks and it resulted in the two losses for the Ravens. In the Ravens’ loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 1, they also lost their leader Terrell Suggs, and that had an effect on them in Week 2.
The Ravens’ offense scored 33 points in the loss, but with the struggles of their defense, they were handed their second loss of the season. Joe Flacco had a great game with 384 passing yards and two passing touchdowns.
26.) Detroit Lions (0-2)
After a disappointing loss to the San Diego Chargers in Week 1, the Lions struggled once again in Week 2. Heading into the 2015 season, the Lions attempted to bolster their running game, but in the loss to the Vikings they totaled just 38 rushing yards as a team.
Calvin Johnson got going in Week 2, but their defense looks like a total mess right now after losing key players in free agency. There is alot of talent on the Lions, but they aren’t playing like the playoff team they were last year.
25.) Indianapolis Colts (0-2)
The Indianapolis Colts haven’t been able to figure out the AFC East yet this season, as they have lost the first two games of the season to the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets.
In the Colts’ Week 2 loss, Andrew Luck had one of the worst games of his career, as he totaled just 250 passing yards, one touchdown, three interceptions, and lost a fumble. Turnovers and physical play have bothered the Colts early on in the season.
The AFC South may be the weakest division in football which means that the Colts are in fine shape still at 0-2.
