NFL Week 2 takeaways: What we learned, big reaction questions and team confidence ratings for every game

Week 2 of the 2021 NFL season featured surprise performances and unfortunate injuries across the board. Sam Darnold and the Panthers are now 2-0 after dominating a Saints team that overwhelmed Green Bay in Week 1. The Bills bounced back with a convincing blowout win in Miami, the Rams squeezed out a win in Indianapolis and Derek Carr and the Raiders topped the Steelers in Pittsburgh.

It was a tough week for other quarterbacks around the league, too. Zach Wilson threw four interceptions against New England; the Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa, Colts' Carson Wentz, Bears' Andy Dalton and Texans' Tyrod Taylor exited with injuries; and Jalen Hurts couldn't lead the Eagles past the 49ers.
