**Unbeaten Teams and Notable Performances:**
- **Kansas City Chiefs:** The reigning Super Bowl champions remain undefeated at 2-0, despite close games. They edged out the Cincinnati Bengals with a last-second field goal by Harrison Butker. However, their running back Isiah Pacheco suffered a fractured right fibula, sidelining him for at least two months. In response, the Chiefs have signed Kareem Hunt to their practice squad.
- **Buffalo Bills:** The Bills are also 2-0, maintaining their strong start to the season.
- **New Orleans Saints:** The Saints have been impressive, scoring 93 points in their first two games. Derek Carr and Alvin Kamara have been key contributors, with Kamara scoring four touchdowns against the Dallas Cowboys.

**Team Struggles:**
- **Dallas Cowboys:** After a strong Week 1, the Cowboys struggled in Week 2, particularly on offense, ranking 25th in total rushing yards.
- **Carolina Panthers:** The Panthers have had a dismal start, benching quarterback Bryce Young in favor of Andy Dalton after just two games. Their offense has been inept, leading to concerns about the season ahead.
**Other Notable Developments:**
- **Pittsburgh Steelers:** Preparing for Justin Fields to start at quarterback as Russell Wilson remains limited with a calf injury.
