Which 2-0 teams are real CONTENDERS and which ones are PRETENDERS | Ex-NFL player breaks it down 

Did he just say Steelers are real with no clear answer on their offense while chargers are pretenders with an established offensive identity with the same breath?

if a brandon staley and anthony lynn led chargers team could beat the steelers a jim harbaugh led team should definitely be a contender

The scary thing is, the vikings AREN'T healthy. Their number 2 WR and a top 5 Tight End in the league were out. Will be wild when they are full strength.

This guy has HOMER all across his face. He’s high as a kite!!

As a Chargers fan, I am delighted when yapping heads on tv are negative on my team, because that means we are winning. 😅🤣

I love how he says that the Steelers have the best defense, and are contenders, yet at this moment the Chargers defense has given up less points than the Steelers, and the Chargers offense has scored more points than the Steelers.

Horrible take.. Steelers are a contender? And the chargers aren’t? lol

This guy talking like Pittsburgh has a QB lol

This guy just said Pittsburgh has the best defense🤔 but the Chargers defense is the 1st in ALL statistics😂 what a clown🤡

This isn't about 2-0 teams. Every 2-0 team was not mentioned. This is merely a stump speech for the Steelers.

Steelers scores 1 td in 2 games vs falcons and broncos and that’s a contender?…give me a break.

The only pretenders are the ones who didn’t mention the Seattle Seahawks how truly pathetic!

"don't let the powder blues fool you"

Vikings ain’t even 100% yet

This guy is a clown 🤡 he praises the Steelers for their offense then bashes the chargers for the same reason he praises Pittsburg. Do better CBS

Chargers are the same team without the fantasy players in Keenan, Mike, and Ekeler. The coaching was always the issue

Chargers 24 Pittsburgh 13 see u Sunday.

What a clown. The teams with Justin Fields and Sam Darnold as its quarterbacks are contenders, but the team with Jim Harbaugh and Justin Herbert isn’t? Get the hell out of here.

What a clown how are you gonna say that the chargers are pretenders and the Steelers are contenders😂

Didn’t even mention my 2-0 Seahawks…..as usual

All you need to do is score 20 points max and you’ll beat the Steelers

When we don’t have Dobbins doing this thing, we have a top 5 QB under center. What do the Steelers have? You guys acting like y'all beat anyone relevant.

This guy said is more delusional than raiders fans 😂

Which 2-0 team is this or that. And the Seahawks don't even get a minimal mention. Wow CBS. The disrespect is real. But I guess that is par for the course with these major sports shows. If it isn't East Coast, Texas or CA (or the commentator's favorite, Pittsburgh) it doesn't exist.

Bucs are contenders

Soooooo are the Seahawks not 2-0?????

As most analyst listed the Vikings' power rankings score below 25 out of the 32 NFL teams, just keep listing them as such. You don't need to increase their rankings, keep them as underdogs. Nothing is more dangerous as a dog in the fight.

This guy’s an absolute clown. Shamelessly backs his sweetheart choice in the Steelers even though their offense is struggling along but hates on the Chargers who have had strong offense and defense consistently so far. Ought to be embarrassed lol

Can’t wait for Chargers to smash Steelers. Insane he says they more legit with 1 total TD

I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that blasphemy on the Chargers.

I know they are not contenders, don't feel obligated to correct me - but no mention of the seahawks? We beat 2 teams that have won like 10 super bowls 😂

All 4 teams are surprises that they are 2-0 so none are contenders yet

My Saints could be contenders if Carr dont get bonked agIn like he did last yaer!!

Seahawks are 2-0 as well , no mention ?? 🤦‍♂️

I was expecting doubt on the Seahawks - but not even discussed!?! Yeah. Blocking this fake sports channel.

Mccfadden contradict himself saying the Steelers win ugly and yet he saying the same thing about the chargers clown 🤡

You really hatting on the chargers I wish they shut you up when they beat the steeler

Sorry brother, but Justin fields doesn’t scare me. Chargers beating Pittsburgh this Sunday. Won’t be pretty but chargers getting it done. TJ watt will be neutralized by Joe Alt or Rashawn slater.

No QB means no contention in the NFL. We all know who they are.😂 Pittsburgh is number one on that list with 2 scrubs as qbs. 😅

His own argument doesn't make sense. He said Chargers wins by splash play, and JK averages 9+ yards ppg, then trying to say thats not sustainable.

Bmac being a Homer is all good but they Pittsburgh arent winning this coming Sunday

Sam Darnold....America's QB!🎉

This analyst is delusional steelers get beat by the Chargers

This man is gana be sad next week Chargers are contenders 😉

Believe more in Sam Darnold, and Derrick Carr, more than Justin Herbert and Jim Harbaugh if you want too.

Media hates the Seahawks as usual

How can he not even talk about how elite our defense has been through 2 weeks. Tell us more about how Fields is supposed to score on us?

Chargers fan let start stacking receipts again

Steelers are NOT contenders.🤣

The chargers, baby, they’re the real contender

Damn Seahawks get no respect. Don’t even get mentioned as a pretender at least.

What did you say about the Vikings?

No way this dude said the Steelers are a contender and the Chargers are a pretender..

Chargers and vikings

“What happens when JK Dobbins is not averaging a 1st down everytime he touches the football” Dude is forgetting Herbert is the QB, which is fair, cause he’s been chilling so far

This guy is obviously biased. Pittsburgh a contender with ONE offensive TD? Lol.not sustainable! They will definitely lose this weekend against Chargers. Harbaugh has won as a coach where ever he has gone.

Does he forget that if the chargers don’t have a run game they have HERBERT 😂🤣

Brandon Staley coaching the chargers really made everyone forget how good they are, plus the talent they have when healthy, and they were just coached by a trash coach which made them look horrible.

Chargers are definitely a contender team looking awesome very unselfish

Calls the Steelers contenders but the chargers pretenders… when they’re damn near the same team 😂😂😂

Herbert throws the ball too much, Finally get a decent run games Now it’s Herbert don’t throw enough with the run game

NAILED IT!!! Good defense and a great running game is not a sustainable formula for winning. I dare anyone to name any team in the history of the NFL that won a championship with great defense and a strong running game. If only they had an elite quarterback to tip the scales, then maybe, we could say that the Chargers are the real deal...if only there were a quarterback that the Chargers could rely on. And Dobbins isn't that good of a running back anyway. He couldn't have run all those yards without that mammoth of a line opening huge gaping holes in defensive lines for him to run through. And that kicker!? Holy crap the wheels are already falling off....did you see him miss that one PAT? He's like 59-1 on PAT's now....pathetic. Bryant, you sir, are a genius

He’s not bias on the Chargers as he’s a former Steeler

We literally been head to head with champs with superstar plays on the chargers seasons before now we have all rookies and we doing more damage without using our legendary QB? Cmon man. It’s over

Well The Answer is In AND THE STEELERS ARE OFFICAL!! 💪👑🔥

Steelers being a contender and the chargers being a pretender is comical

Go Saints

Steelers are a contender but the chargers are not I really hope they smash the Steelers this week

I love hearing SKOL NATION 💜💛

Stop down playing the NFC South. They’re the real deal. (Besides Carolina)

Lmao the steelers barely beat the Broncos and the offense put up 13pts lmao justin fields has 1td and the defense gave up big plays against a bad offense lmao the Boltz gana wreck the steelers at home 😂😂😂

I can’t wait to see Herbert trying to get away from TJ Watt and that defense this weekend!

They could have gotten through all the 2-0 teams, including the Seahawks, if the guy would quit waxing eloquent for his favorite teams.

Finally some Vikings respect.

how did this guy get a job as an analyst? emotional based analysis

Cmon McFadden, stop saying "ax" on national TV and let's be unbiased.

I respect his observation of the offense but he didnt say anything about that stingy defense. This will be a solid challenge for the offense and Greg Roman

I’m a Steelers fan this is Darren McFadden former steeler

Way to immediately lose credibility with that take

Seattle is also 2-0 and no mention or logo in the thumbnail. Typical

So let me get this straight…. A steeler team with no offense and whose defense has had to bail them out of both wins with a huge question mark at qb is a contender… and a chargers team that is punishing everyone the see on the ground and has a top tier qb who doesn’t need to do anything because they have complete control of the game is a pretender. Top tier analysis there.

chargers defense gave up 13 points in 2 games pittsburg defense gave up 16 points in 2 games I guess math is not his strong suit but he is clearly a steelers fan, that alone can cloud his judgement, never underestimate your rival

While Kevin O'Connell has everyone focused in one direction with Sam Darnold and Justin Jefferson... Brian Flores has the best defense in the NFL approaching from the other direction in stealth mode with bombs readied, missiles armed and guns hot.

He’ll be changing his tune after the Chargers betr the Steelers tomorrow ⚡️

So the chargers can’t sustain the run game but the Steelers can continue winning with literally no offense? Sounds like a stupid take to me. Both of them are pretenders

Steelers is a pretenders

This guy works for the odds makers .

Herbert can throw when he needs to. Do I need to remind you they have a top 5 o line and a top 10 QB???

chargers disrespect is crazy.

You're in the way Chargers, you go worry about Trevor Lawrence

The Saints are contenders because the Saints will win their 2nd Super Bowl if they become the 3rd team to play the big game on their home turf.

This guy is a joke and I'll never listen to his biased takes again. 🤣🤣 Steelers a contender with 1 touchdown in 2 games! The Steelers beat the Bo Nix Broncos and now they're contenders 🤣

What about the others 2-0 teams

Actually.. the Chargers have the best offense in the league right now.. help opposing offenses to only 13 points do far

Wait , he just said that Pittsburgh is a contender but Chargers are not ? They're winning the same way LMAO

How tf can you still say the NFC South is watered down. Are you dense? There are three very good teams in the division. That is the best or second best division in the NFC.

Damn not even gonna cover Seattle?

Remember what you said,chargers are contenders bro

Vikings don't have the top wide receiver?

Huh buccaneers beat the lions in case you forgotten
