The 2025-26 NFL season is officially back, now moving into Week 2 action. The headline coming out of Week 1 was a stunning 41-40 comeback win by the Buffalo Bills, which saw Josh Allen and Co. put up 15 points in the final four minutes of their game against the Baltimore Ravens. Week 2 action might not be able to top that kind of excitement, but there are plenty of opportunities.
