Week 2 in the NFL was a tale of two teams - those who are building momentum and those who are struggling to find their footing. Jim Harbaugh's Los Angeles Chargers, once considered a laughingstock, are now looking like a force to be reckoned with. Their dominant 26-3 win over the Carolina Panthers showcased their newfound chemistry, led by quarterback Justin Herbert and receiver Quentin Johnston, who looks like a budding star.

On the other end of the spectrum, we have teams that have left their fans wondering what went wrong. The Ravens and Bengals, both considered Super Bowl contenders, are now 0-2, and their losses have sent shockwaves through the survivor pool community. The Ravens' collapse in the fourth quarter against the Raiders, allowing 13 unanswered points, was a brutal reminder of the unpredictability of the NFL.

But what really stands out is the coaching decisions that have left us scratching our heads. Shane Steichen's perplexing play-calling for the Colts, including a run-pass-option on third-and-1, was a clear example of a team struggling to find its identity. And then there's the case of Will Levis, whose fumble against the Jets has got to be the final straw for the Titans.

As we move into Week 3, the stakes are higher, and the pressure is mounting. For teams like the Ravens and Bengals, a loss could be the nail in the coffin. But for others, like the Chargers, it's an opportunity to build momentum and prove themselves as a legitimate playoff contender.
