The Broncos were the only NFL team of the three to not come out of Sunday with a win as both the Seahawks and 49ers notched victories in Week 2. The Broncos have been throttled by a slew of injury troubles early on this season as Denver has come up just shy of not one but two victories this season. After losing to the 2-0 Tennessee Titans on Monday Night Football in Week 1, the Broncos then lost to another 2-0 team in the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 2.

The Seahawks are now a perfect 2-0 on the season after defeating both the Atlanta Falcons and New England Patriots to begin the 2020-21 regular season. The 49ers are an even 1-1 as San Francisco has also been decimated by injuries. The 49ers initially lost to the rival Arizona Cardinals before earning the team's first win of the season in NFL Week 2 against the lowly New York Jets.
