Week 2 certainly had its share of exciting games, starting with the ' thrilling comeback over the and the ' overtime victory over the . The late-afternoon slate had some cla sic comebacks, too, as the rallied from 21 points down to beat the -- tying the largest comeback in franchise history. The had a thrilling 18-point comeback over the -- the largest comeback for the franchise since 2015.With another exciting slate of Sunday afternoon games in the books, it's time to dive into some more overreactions after Week 2. Which of these statements are overreactions and which are reality?Overreaction or reality J.J. Barea Jersey : RealityWilson was horrible in his first start filling in for , going 12 of 27 for 170 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions (38.1 rating) -- which is actually over par for his standards. Wilson was 7 of 17 for 76 yards and three interceptions (15.4 rating) in the second half.The Jets scored 10 points in a blowout lo s to the . They can't continue moving forward with Wilson behind that offensive line, no matter how hard Robert Saleh tries. Sure Wilson knows the system, but he hasn't been good in said system. If New York wants to have a shot at the playoffs, it needs to find someone better than Wilson. That may be any quarterback at this stage.Overreaction or reality:RealityThree teams are 2-0 and the fourth is 1-1. The haven't looked great in their 2-0 Courtney Lee Jersey start, yet they remained unscathed after playing two games in five days. The Dallas Cowboys have looked like the best team in football, outscoring opponents 70-10 after two games.The New York Giants and Washington Commanders comebacks showcased the power of the NFC East. The Giants were outscored 60-0 after six quarters, yet still scored 31 points in the second half to come back and earn a win in Arizona. The Commanders were down 21-3 to the Denver Broncos, yet still rallied to score 35 points (the first time they scored 30-plus points in two years). The Eagles and Cowboys are two of the best teams in the and the Commanders are better. The jury is still out on the Giants. This division may get three teams in the playoffs again.Overreaction or reality:OverreactionThe start of the season for the doesn't look great, especially at 0-2 with at quarterback. Los Angeles has scored 50 points and committed no turnovers through two games -- yet are the only team in NFL history to start 0-2 while accomplishing that feat.The Chargers have two lo ses by a combined five points, allowing 30.5 points per game in those lo ses. Keep in mind Staley is a defensive coach. Los Angeles still has an opportunity to turn things around (Minnesota and Las Vegas are the next two games), but he Chargers do have a brutal schedule. Too soon to believe Staley will get fired through two games, but another lo s next week will make a warm seat hot.Overreaction or reality:RealityBarkley is the cog in the offense that makes the Giants go, specifically . With Barkley on the field in the second-half comeback, Jones completed 17 of 21 pa ses for 259 yards with two pa s touchdowns while rushing for 58 yards and a touchdown. Jones Jason Kidd Jersey became just the second player in NFL history with 250 pa sing yards, 50 rushing yards, two pa sing touchdowns, and a rushing touchdown in a half.Barkley's injury is severe enough he won't discu s it, it's a sprained ankle. We'll see how long Barkley is out, but the Giants need him if they want to go to the playoffs. Jones can't be the quarterback the Giants want him to be without Barkley on the field. Overreaction or reality:RealityThe Falcons took Robinson at No. 8 overall in the draft, putting him behind a dominant run-blocking offensive line. Arthur Smith certainly used Robinson to his full advantage in Sunday's win over the Green Bay Packers, as Robinson had 172 yards of offense (and his first 100-yard rushing game), leading the Falcons to a thrilling fourth-quarter comeback over the Green Bay Packers.Robinson is already second in the NFL in rushing yards (180) and fourth in the NFL in yards from scrimmage (255) after the Sunday afternoon games. He's already averaging 6.2 yards per carry and showcased his game-changing ability on offense with his ability to make big plays on crucial downs.Through two weeks, Dennis Smith Jr. Jersey Robinson is already a top-five running back.Overreaction or reality:RealityBrown's impact has been felt in the first two games of the season on the offensive line. has allowed just one pre sure in 88 pa s-blocking snaps through two games, but had five penalties in Sunday's win over the (he got flagged twice for false starts, and twice for holding, and one for illegal formation). The Chiefs actually sat him for a bit after the fourth penalty. has allowed seven pre sures through two games and three quarterback hits, with a pre sure rate allowed of 7.8%. Those numbers aren't good, as the only reason Smith hasn't allowed a sack is because gets rid of the football quickly.The Chiefs have a tackle problem. Brown wasn't perfect, but he was rock solid on that offensive line for several years.Overreaction or reality:OverreactionTwo games into his NFL career and Richardson had to leave both of them with different injuries. Richardson wasn't on the injury report heading into Week 2, but left Sunday's win over the with a concu sion in the second quarter. This comes a week after he left late in the fourth quarter due to knee sorene s. Richardson's early track record of finishing a game isn't good, so maybe he should sit a week even if he's cleared to play next week? Long term, that would be beneficial for the Colts since Richardson is their franchise quarterback. That would give Richardson an extra week to heal up.Thanks to (19 of 23, 171 yards, TD, 0 INT), the Colts could afford to rest and protect Richardson if they want to. They likely won't do it, but it may be beneficial for Richardson to get through his rookie season.If Richardson is good to go, he will play.Overreaction or reality:OverreactionMayfield has been impre sive through Steve Nash Jersey two games, completing 69.1% of his pa ses 490 yards with three touchdowns and zero interceptions through two games (104.4 rating). Mayfield has been protected (only sacked once) and hasn't fumbled, so no turnovers through two games. The Buccaneers are 2-0 as a result of Mayfield's good decision-making when not being pre sured. He's also getting the ball to , who has 12 catches for 237 yards and two touchdowns (19.8 yards per catch) through two games. The Buccaneers are doing enough on offense to match their very good defense.Are they the best in the NFC South? The haven't played their second game yet and the Falcons have grinded out two good wins, so it's too early to make that claim. If Mayfield keeps playing mistake-free football, Tampa Bay will be a threat to win the division and make the playoffs.Through two games, the Buccaneers certainly look like a playoff team -- no matter who they've faced so far.
