It's NFL Week Two, which means one thing — disaster looms!
Teams that slumped to losses last week face mini must-wins in order to avoid those dreaded 0-2 starts.
Supposedly "elite" teams like the Saints and Steelers are looking to avenge tough losses.
And teams that were once thought of as "sleepers" are desperately trying to avoid dropping out of the playoff picture all together.
So here they are — the 10 teams that will stare down disaster on Sunday — ranked from "would like to win" to "MUST WIN!"
10. New York Giants
Opponent: Tampa Bay at home
Next four games: Carolina away, Philly away, Cleveland home, San Francisco away
The Giants are used to slow starts, so it's far from panic time. But a win would be big considering three of their next four are on the road.
9. Cincinnati Bengals
Opponent: Cleveland at home
Next four games: Washington away, Jacksonville away, Miami at home, Cleveland away
This is a team that everyone thought might slump after making the playoffs last year. A home loss to the lowly Browns would be a real hit to their confidence. But a win would mean they're back on track.
8. Seattle Seahawks
Opponent: Dallas at home
Next four games: Green Bay home, St. Louis away, Carolina away, New England home
If they go to 0-2, they're looking at 1-5 because they have a really tough schedule coming up. For a team many people thought could make the playoffs, this is a big one.
