Two weeks of NFL football are in the books, and it's never too early to start evaluating this year's squads.

Through the opening weeks, each team has proven different things. The weaknesses, or strengths, shown in Week 1 may not be the same as what came to light in Week 2.

Let's focus on Week 2's action. Here is the best and worst thing to come out of each team's second game.
