Excitement and surprises from Week 2 of the 2025 NFL Preseason

Week 2 of the 2025 NFL preseason produced exciting results and plenty of insights for teams heading into the regular season. Among the most notable duels, the San Francisco 49ers defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 22-19, thanks to a decisive field goal by Jake Moody in the final seconds of the game. The young kicker's performance once again confirmed his importance as a reliable weapon in pressure situations.

Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Steelers achieved a dramatic victory against the Jacksonville Jaguars, in a game that was decided by a key defensive play in the final moments. The intensity displayed by Pittsburgh's defense left coach Mike Tomlin with positive feelings, as he seeks to return the team to prominence in the AFC.

The big surprise of the day was the resounding defeat of the Buffalo Bills, who were soundly defeated by the Chicago Bears by a score of 38-0. The lack of offensive execution and constant turnovers have raised serious concerns around coach Sean McDermott, who will need to adjust immediately if he wants to avoid a shaky start to the regular season.

The preseason continues, and while the results aren't definitive, they do offer a first snapshot of the teams' strengths and weaknesses heading into 2025.
