Straight Fire - Making Sense of an NFL Where 'Bad Teams' are 2-0 and 'Good Teams' are 0-2

On today’s episode, Jason recaps a wild Week 2 in the NFL by doing his best to answer one very simple question: Which NFL team is actually good?

The New Orleans Saints have put up 40-burgers in each of their first two games, but that kind of offensive explosion can’t be sustainable, can it? The Kansas City Chiefs being 2-0 isn’t all that surprising, but when you consider that both their opponents are still winless – the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals – are we sure they’re as good as their record says?
