21.) Cleveland Browns (1-1)

The Johnny Football Era in Cleveland might be beginning after they were able to defeat the Titans in Week 2. Johnny Manziel played fairly well by totaling 172 passing yards and two passing touchdowns in the win.

Manziel only threw the ball 15 times in the game, as the Browns used a very conservative game-plan to get the Week 2 win. One thing that is working for the Browns is their deep passes to Travis Benjamin, who has three touchdowns in the first two games of the season.

20.) Oakland Raiders (1-1)

The Oakland Raiders were able to bounce back from a tough Week 1 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals with a nice victory against the Baltimore Ravens. Derek Carr was able to play in Week 2 despite the injury to his hand, and he played very well.

Carr totaled 351 passing yards, three touchdowns, and just one interception in the Raiders’ first win of the season. With Carr, Amari Cooper, and Michael Crabtree, the Raiders appear to have one of the best offenses the franchise has seen in a long time.

19.) Miami Dolphins (1-1)

The Miami Dolphins came into the 2015 season with expectations of giving the New England Patriots a run for their money in the AFC East. So far in 2015, the Dolphins don’t look like a very good team, as they barely beat the Washington Redskins in Week 1, and then lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 2.

Ryan Tannehill played well in the loss, as he totaled 359 passing yards and two touchdown passes. The problem with the Dolphins’ offense has been their inability to run the football, as they totaled just 42 rushing yards in Week 2.
