Summary

After a record-setting Week 1, NFL offenses stumbled in Week 2, largely due to inclement weather and a spate of injuries. The Bears struggled as Caleb Williams hurt his hamstring, while the Vikings secured a narrow 9-3 victory, a stark contrast to their previous week's scoring spree.

Key Takeaways from Week 2:

  • Tyler Shough emerged as the Saints' long-awaited answer at quarterback. Despite a rocky start, he showcased his potential by completing 27 of 34 passes for 252 yards and a touchdown against the Ravens, leading to a 24-17 upset victory.

  • Drake Maye, despite earlier struggles, demonstrated improvement for the Patriots with 208 yards against the Steelers. However, his turnovers remain a concern.

  • Jalen Hurts proved his clutch ability once again for the Eagles, leading a late-game drive to secure a win against the Titans.

  • The Vikings currently top the NFC North, but doubts linger about their offensive consistency, especially with Kyler Murray's limited play.

  • Deshaun Watson earned another start for the Browns, winning his first game in over two years against the Buccaneers, throwing for 238 yards and two touchdowns.

  • The Cowboys' defense showed signs of improvement but still faces significant challenges, allowing the Commanders to rush for 182 yards.

  • The Chargers, Commanders, and Buccaneers find themselves in dire situations at 0-2, with only a slim chance of making the playoffs. The Chargers struggled against both the Cardinals and Raiders, while the Commanders face quarterback issues after losing Jayden Daniels.
