15.) Minnesota Vikings (1-1)

After barely being involved in the offense in Week 1, the Minnesota Vikings made sure to feature Adrian Peterson in Week 2 against the Detroit Lions. In his first game back at home since 2013, Peterson totaled 134 rushing yards and 58 receiving yards in a Vikings win.

The Vikings offense looked much better with Peterson as the go-to guy and Bridgewater as a complementary piece of the offense.

14.) San Francisco 49ers (1-1)

The NFL set the 49ers up to fail in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, as they made them travel and face a well-rested team on a short week. Colin Kaepernick was really good in Week 2 against the Steelers, as he totaled 335 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, and 51 rushing yards.

Just one Week after holding the Minnesota Vikings to three points, the 49ers allowed 43 to the Steelers. The 49ers lost a lot of talent on the defensive side of the ball and after two weeks it’s hard to gauge what they really are.

13.) Buffalo Bills (1-1)

If I told you that the Bills would score 32 points against the Patriots, you would have surely said they would win the game. Despite the offensive barrage for the Bills, the Patriots’ offense was better.

Tyrod Taylor made some mistakes with three interceptions, but he did total 242 passing yards, three passing touchdowns, and 42 rushing yards. If the Bills offense is going to be scoring in the mid-20s every week, they will win a lot of games with the loss to the Patriots likely being a blip in the radar for their defense.
