Okay, so we’re a day late. But let’s be honest—overreactions don’t expire. Week 2 of the NFL delivered plenty of chaos worth unpacking. The takes are still hot, even on a Tuesday. Green Bay surprised everyone with their start. The Giants experienced heartbreak. There may be a potential shift of power out West. Here’s what we learned.
Packers 2-0… But Are They That Good?

The Green Bay Packers are undefeated through two weeks, sitting at 2-0 with some eye-popping numbers. They’re top-12 in total offense. On defense, they’ve been dominant. They are third overall in yards allowed at just 238 per game. They also give up fewer than 50 rushing yards per contest.
Jordan Love has been steady, Tucker Kraft popped off in Week 2, and the defense—energized by the arrival of Micah Parsons—is all over the field.
But the lingering question remains: are they actually this good, or is this just a hot start before the crash?
Overreaction: Forget the doubters—Green Bay might be one of the NFC’s best all-around teams.
Giants: What More Can They Do?
The New York Giants are 0-2, but it’s not for lack of offense. In Week 2, Russell Wilson threw for 450 yards, 3 TDs, and 1 INT. Elite WR Malik Nabers exploded for 9 catches, 167 yards, and 2 touchdowns. Wan’Dale Robinson added 8 for 142 and a score.
The Giants hung 37 points on the board… and still lost.
When your offense performs like that, you expect a win. Instead, the defense folded, and special teams miscues sealed their fate.
Overreaction: The Giants might be the best 0-2 team in football—but without defensive answers, they’ll keep wasting monster offensive performances.
Chiefs 0-2, Chargers 2-0: A Changing of the Guard?
The Kansas City Chiefs are sitting at 0-2, while the Los Angeles Chargers are cruising at 2-0. For the first time in years, it feels like there’s real pressure at the top of the AFC West.
Kansas City’s offense looks off-kilter. Sure, they’ve had slow starts before—last year’s stumble ended in another Lombardi—but this season feels different. Meanwhile, Justin Herbert and the Chargers look poised, balanced, and dangerous.
For the first time since 2015, it’s not crazy to suggest the Chiefs might not win the division.
Overreaction: The Chargers are ready to snatch the AFC West crown, and the Chiefs’ dynasty might finally be wobbling.
Belated, But Worth It
One day late, but the takes still land:
- The Packers are making their skeptics eat crow.
- The Giants can’t buy a win, no matter how many points they score.
- And the Chargers smell blood while the Chiefs look vulnerable.
Belated Overreaction Monday? Sure. But the overreactions are still sizzling.
