There are four games on the NFL schedule this week where teams that lost in their first game are going against teams that pleasantly surprised in their openers.
The Green Bay Packers visit the New York Jets, the Cincinnati Bengals are at the Houston Texans, the Raiders meet the Chargers at SoFi Stadium and the New York Giants face the Los Angeles Rams at the same venue.
So should the teams that won their openers win again, how long has it been since they would be 2-0 in the same season their respective opponents started 0-2.
The Jets were 2-0 in the 2000 season when Green Bay opened 0-2.
The Cincinnati Bengals were 2-0 last year while the Texans were 0-2. Things turned quickly for both teams as Houston got hot and the Bengals fell apart.
The Raiders
were 2-0 in 2017 when the Chargers started 0-2.
And one the New York Giants start 2-0 in 2009 when the Los Angeles Rams opened 0-2.
