There have been some nice particular person performances by means of the primary two weeks of the 2025 NFL season. There have additionally been others which are terribly disappointing, leaving some big-name gamers in want of an enormous displaying this week. We’re going to check out 5 of them.
The Steelers protection as an entire has been extremely underwhelming, struggling to cease the run and permitting 30 factors in back-to-back video games to Justin Fields and Sam Darnold. On the high of the frustration record is Watt, their largest famous person and greatest participant. He has not recorded a sack in six video games going again to final season, and even worse, has probably not been the disruptive, game-changing pressure the Steelers have come to count on him to be. If they’re going to compete this season, their protection must be the rationale why, and Watt must be the chief of that. Thus far, it has not occurred. It has to alter over the subsequent few weeks when their schedule turns into extraordinarily favorable.
It would not be honest to say that Williams has been dangerous, however he hasn’t been significantly nice. That has been the story of his profession thus far, and it is an issue for the Bears. He’s imagined to be the franchise-changing expertise that lastly solves their long-standing quarterback points, and thus far, he has not been that. The largest difficulty he has handled thus far is constantly making on-target throws. He and the Bears offense get to face a porous Dallas Cowboys protection on Sunday, and in the event that they cannot excel in opposition to them, it’s going to be time to start out asking some powerful questions this season.
Thomas was not solely top-of-the-line rookies within the NFL in 2024, however he was additionally top-of-the-line vast receivers no matter expertise stage. By way of two weeks this season, he has been an entire non-factor within the Jaguars’ offense, catching simply six of the 19 passes thrown his path for less than 60 yards. The Jaguars want extra.
Kelce has six catches for 108 yards and a landing by means of two weeks, that are largely advantageous numbers for a run-of-the-mill tight finish. However Kelce shouldn’t be a run-of-the-mill tight finish. He is without doubt one of the greatest to ever do it and a key a part of the Chiefs offense. He’s a fair greater a part of the offense, given the depth points at vast receiver. Thus far, he has not performed like every of that. The numbers do not actually do justice to the truth that he has appeared like a shell of his former self and turned a possible landing in Week 2 right into a game-changing interception by not having the ability to haul in a cross.
The Broncos entered this season as a well-liked sleeper decide to be a Tremendous Bowl contender within the AFC, and the anticipated enchancment in Nix from yr one to yr two was imagined to be an enormous a part of that. However by means of two video games, Nix has struggled and seemingly regressed from a powerful rookie displaying. He’s averaging simply 191 passing yards per sport and has already thrown three interceptions in two video games. They want extra from him.
