Joy Taylor looks ahead to NFL Week 2 and discusses how quickly pressure and panic can build for teams with high expectations, including the Rams (injuries and a critical matchup with the 1–0 Giants), Patriots (avoiding an 0–2 start against the Steelers after losing to the Seahawks and A.J. Brown), Texans (tough early slate continuing vs Burrow and the Bengals), and the Falcons’ worsening quarterback situation that could force them to start an undrafted rookie. She then reacts to Cleveland’s ugly Week 1 loss to the Jaguars, criticizing Deshaun Watson’s comments about unrealistic expectations given his performance and contract. Taylor closes by previewing Thursday Night Football: Lions at Bills, noting Buffalo’s debut at new Highmark Stadium, questions about the Bills’ post–Sean McDermott identity, and Detroit’s Week 1 near-collapse in a win over the Saints.
