Ten teams in the NFL are 0-2 through two weeks. Let's power rank these teams approaching Week 3.
Not every 0-2 team will fall to 0-3 when Week 3 is over, and being 0-2 is not a season-ender by any stretch of the imagination. Teams like the Denver Broncos started off 0-2 in 2024 and made the playoffs, and in that same year, the New Orleans Saints were 2-0 but missed the postseason.
So, let's get into our 0-2 power rankings approaching Week 3 of the 2025 NFL Season.
Power ranking every 0-2 team approaching Week 3 of the 2025 season
10. New Orleans Saints
The New Orleans Saints have been a staple at the bottom of our power rankings for a while now, and that likely won't change. This team just does not have a clear avenue to success in 2025 and should embrace a full-scale rebuild.
9. Carolina Panthers
The Carolina Panthers are a disaster of a football team, and it may honestly boil down to Bryce Young, who just does not have it. It's already year three for Young, and things just do not look promising for him to figure it out.
8. New York Jets
The Jets are now 0-2 on the season and likely headed to 0-3 after their Week 3 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. A bad team with a year one coaching staff and no clear-cut QB is going to struggle to earn a handful of wins in the 2025 NFL Season.
7. Tennessee Titans
The Tennessee Titans are supposed to be bad this year, so them being 0-2 isn't exactly the worst thing ever. I will say, though, that it's not clear if this team has the right coaching staff in place, so if things don't slowly begin to develop, I would not be shocked to see a new staff for year two of the Cam Ward era.
6. Cleveland Browns
A team with enough talent to be semi-competitive, the Cleveland Browns are sixth in our power rankings and will end up being a non-factor in the NFL here in a couple of weeks.
5. Miami Dolphins
If nothing else, the Miami Dolphins do have the offensive firepower to be an interesting team, but the defense and coaching overall is subpar, and there could be a scenario coming up where the Dolphins make some bold changes and sell heavy at the NFL trade deadline. They do have a ton of talented players and should look to trade a few of them to build for the future.
4. Chicago Bears
The Chicago Bears have looked bad thus far, but I am giving them the benefit of the doubt to an extent. Chicago does have a talented roster and the coveted head coach of the 2025 cycle in Ben Johnson. There is surely a chance that Chicago can hit some type of stride in the middle of the season and make things interesting at the bottom of the NFC playoff picture.
3. New York Giants
How about the New York Giants? They lost a heartbreaker in Week 2, but Russell Wilson legitimately had one of the best games of his NFL career until that overtime interception. The Giants do have a fierce defensive line, but having the toughest schedule in the NFL is going to make things very hard.
It would be a shock to see this team end up with anything more than four or five wins at most in 2025. Rookie QB Jaxson Dart could soon se some action if Russell Wilson can't lead this team to victory.
3. Houston Texans
Is it time to panic with the Houston Texans? The team's offensive line is arguably the worst in the NFL, and CJ Stroud hasn't looked good since 2023. It's been a rough stretch for this franchise, and you get the sense that there really isn't much they can do if their issues are mostly personnel-related.
If it's any consolation, they are the second-best winless team in the NFL...
1. Kansas City Chiefs
I do believe the Kansas City Chiefs could be in a heap of trouble, but I also might be underestimating Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid. Only time will tell here, but the Chiefs lost two games all of last year and are now 0-2 for the first time in the Mahomes' era. Furthermore, this team was winning most of their games by razor-thin margins in 2024.
It seems like some of those margins have disappeared.
