2026 Week 2 Loser: Chicago Bears
From the highest of the highs to the lowest of lows. Not to mention the situation with quarterback Caleb Williams, who has now become the source of online slander after having to leave the game with a hamstring injury late in the 4th. But if you aren't busy rolling your eyes and firing back at James Jones, Dave Portnoy, Will Compton, and several other keyboard warriors and microphone-bearing individuals, take a look at how porous the Bears were on their home turf in the rain.
Going from 59 points and running all over Carolina to getting a painful dose of reality just seven days later. With Case Keenum now expected to be the starter in Week 3 on Monday Night Football, Ben Johnson's hopes of the scoring record are through. Above all, while the defense stepped up against Minnesota, if that group does not get more help, this season will be a wash. Also, are the Bears ever going to play Logan Jones, or is the second-round rookie really not prepared to replace Garrett Bradbury? Drew Dalman is likely watching somewhere and wondering the same thing.
2026 Week 2 Loser: Los Angeles Chargers
An 0-2 start including a loss to the Raiders? Jim Harbaugh's seat is certainly burning up if not scorching. The remaining schedule does nothing to help allieviate those concerns, as do the allegations dating back to Michigan and the contorversial 2023 season. The worst part is that next up, the Bolts are headed to Highmark Stadium to face Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills, who just put up 41 on the Detroit Lions in the home opener.
Justin Herbert isn't playing up to par, and Harbaugh was brought in to help allievate those concerns, and instead, it has not been pretty. Both Jacoby Brissett and Kirk Cousins have now torched the Chargers' defense, so what lies in store for Allen? If the trend continues, Allen will have a field day, and that means a long plane ride back to LA for the Bolts. In their two defeats, LA has only scored 14 and each time they gave up 26 points. If that happens again, expect the memes to fly.
