Adam Thielen: "We started 5-0 one year and missed the playoffs. We started 1-2 and went to the NFC championship game. A Week 2 loss doesn't derail who you are as a football team — but it can, if you don't treat it the right way. Great opportunity to see what this team's really made of."

I'd also like to point out that one year the Patriots lost on opening day to the Bills 31-0. Brady threw 4 picks. They won the Super Bowl that year. The Bills went 6-10 and missed the playoffs. Football is weird.
