Keep up with the best highlights from NFL Week 2

0 18

Keep track of all the NFL action on Sunday.

Rivalries are at the forefront of Week 2 in the NFL, with half of Sunday’s 14 games featuring divisional battles. Keep up with the best (and sometimes worst) moments right here with us.

The Browns are blowing it against the Saints

On the back of their defense, the Browns were on their way to their first win since December 2016. They forced two turnovers against the Saints and eight so far this season.

The offense even scored (and missed the extra point):

But, the Browns have teased us before, and just as they’ve done many, many times before, they’re blowing it.

Zane Gonzalez missed another field goal attempt, the Saints scored on a Michael Thomas touchdown. Then Tyrod Taylor threw a pick and we got another Michael Thomas touchdown — and the Saints’ first lead of the game.

But on a fourth-and-5 prayer, Taylor found Antonio Callaway for an unbelievable game-tying touchdown. All they needed for a lead was an extra point ... and Gonzalez missed again.

Maybe one day they’ll open that Bud Light fridge. :(

The Bills scored a touchdown!

Down 28-6 to the Chargers in the third quarter, the Bills finally got their first touchdown of the season. A horse collar penalty on the Chargers got the Bills to first-and-goal at the 1, and Chris Ivory ran it in.

Then the world’s strangest — and most painful — touchback:

The Steelers are charging back

The Steelers were down 21-0 after one quarter. After two quarters, they tied it up at 21-21.

Nine months ago, Jesse James’ game-winning touchdown catch against the Patriots was controversially overturned — and helped spur a new catch rule. Against the Chiefs, he got a bit of (late) redemption:

Ben Roethlisberger, who has had alllllll day to throw, also connected with JuJu Smith-Schuster and James Washington for touchdowns in the second quarter.

The one to Washington was a little iffy — did Big Ben cross the line of scrimmage here?

The refs reviewed it and the play stood. A two-point conversion to James Conner tied the game up at halftime.

Roethlisberger was dealing with an elbow injury all week. He threw 35 passes for nearly 300 yards in the first half alone.

Patrick Mahomes can throw it real pretty, huh?

Mahomes is so much fun to watch. Just look how nice this touchdown throw is (unless you’re the Steelers):

The next drive, he did it again, this time with a 19-yard touchdown to Travis Kelce:

And then again on the next drive.

So for those keeping score at home, Mahomes finished the first quarter going 6 of 7 for 106 yards and three touchdowns — with a perfect passer rating.

He added three more touchdowns in the second half of the shootout, including this one that held up on review:

That’s an NFL record for most touchdown passes (10) for the first two weeks of the season.

Yiiiiikes, this hit on Cam Newton

Falcons safety Damontae Kazee, filling in for Keanu Neal who is out for the rest of the season, was ejected for this hit on Cam Newton — as he should’ve been.

Newton returned to the game and promptly led the Panthers on a touchdown drive.

Trick play Sunday!

Well, this is one way to overcome “Blaine Gabbert starting quarterback.” The Titans embarrassed the Texans with this fake punt:

Good call from the Titans. Terrible special teams effort from the Texans.

And this is one way to overcome a limited Aaron Rodgers:

Fitzmagic is back again!

The first play of the game, Ryan Fitzpatrick picked up right where he left off, with a long touchdown to DeSean Jackson:

And another one!

At halftime, Fitzpatrick had completed 14 of 19 passes for 271 yards, three touchdowns, and a pick. He added his fourth in the third quarter as the Bucs are taking it to the defending Super Bowl champs.

If Fitzpatrick takes Jameis Winston’s job, Jackson isn’t going to object:

Here is the schedule for Sunday. Be sure to check back often as this will be updated throughout the day.

Week 2 Sunday schedule

Carolina Panthers at Atlanta Falcons, 1 p.m. (FOX)

Indianapolis Colts at Washington, 1 p.m. (CBS)

Houston Texans at Tennessee Titans, 1 p.m. (CBS)

Philadelphia Eagles at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (FOX)

Kansas City Chiefs at Pittsburgh Steelers, 1 p.m. (CBS)

Miami Dolphins at New York Jets, 1 p.m. (CBS)

Los Angeles Chargers at Buffalo Bills, 1 p.m. (CBS)

Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers, 1 p.m. (FOX)

Cleveland Browns at New Orleans Saints, 1 p.m. (FOX)

Detroit Lions at San Francisco 49ers, 4:05 p.m. (FOX)

Arizona Cardinals at Los Angeles Rams, 4:05 p.m. (FOX)

New England Patriots at New England Patriots, 4:25 p.m. (CBS)

Oakland Raiders at Denver Broncos, 4:25 p.m. (CBS)

New York Giants at Dallas Cowboys, 8:20 p.m. (NBC)

The Atlanta Falcons had 10 days to stew on their crushing loss in the NFL season opener, and on Sunday face their NFC South rival Carolina Panthers, whose defense throttled Dallas in Week 1.

Aaron Rodgers, who led a stunning Green Bay Packers comeback last week on a gimpy left knee, will get a stiff test on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings in an NFC North tilt. In other divisional battles, the Houston Texans visit the Tennessee Titans with both teams coming off a loss, with the same scenario in the ‘Sunday Night Football’ matchup between the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys.

In non-divisional matchups, the New Orleans Saints host the undefeated (and winless!) Cleveland Browns and the game of the day is probably the AFC Championship Game rematch between the Jacksonville Jaguars and New England Patriots, this time in Jacksonville.
