Concluded the first batch of Sunday matches, here we leave you the most important around the National Football League:
San Francisco 49ers in Cincinnati Bengals
Again, the Bengals had only some positive passages in their game, and that is not enough to consistently win in the NFL. The Niners kept their mark perfect after beating Cincy at home, 41-17, but perhaps we have not won a worthy rival to San Francisco so far from the start of the season.
Los Angeles Chargers in Detroit Lions
Austin Ekeler scored again, and with each new touchdown of the Chargers runner, Melvin Gordon is further devalued, who at least announced that he would reintegrate into the team during the regular season. On the part of the Lions, game of contrasts for Matthew Stafford. What is clear is that these Bolts do not look like the candidates for the title that many assumed at the beginning of the campaign, as was evident with the interception that sealed the defeat, 13-10, for L.A. missing a minute.
Minnesota Vikings in Green Bay Packers
Duel of dramatic contrasts in the quarterback position for this NFC North duel, with Aaron Rodgers serving for the Packers while, again, Kirk Cousins leaves much to be desired, in light of the money that is pocketed with each day. Green Bay recovered from a disastrous opening day where the offensive was lost in Soldier Field. The 21-16 victory brings new light to the Packers campaign.
Indianapolis Colts in Tennessee Titans
In a game that should have been memorable for the Nashville fans, for the retirement of the jerseys of Steve McNair and Eddie George, the fans present at Nissan Stadium will remember this encounter by the fire that was raised just before the kickoff, where a horn placed near one of the annotation zones lit literally. In a close duel of the AFC South, the Colts were able to impose on the Titans, by 19-17.
New England Patriots in Miami Dolphins
Successful debut for Antonio Brown with the Pats, catching his first scoring pass wearing the New England jersey No. 17. The defending champions of the Super Bowl were again devastating against a Miami team that came as a victim, but which is also led by a head coach at Brian Flores who knows the Pats squad in depth. New England kept its mark undefeated thanks to the 43-0 victory, where the defense needs to receive high praise after two starts without receiving a touchdown.
Buffalo Bills in New York Giants
Don't look now, but the Bills are tied in the lead of the AFC North with the Pats, thanks to a 2-0 mark. rookie Devin Singletary, who essentially took the place of LeSean McCoy in the Buffalo attack, scored his first ground touchdown as a professional. Saquon Barkley shone again, but, it was insufficient for the Giants, again, who decided to launch when the team advanced well on the ground. The 28-14 defeat leaves the Giants in the bottom of the NFC North.
Seattle Seahawks in Pittsburgh Steelers
The Pittsburgh offense was absent during most of its comparison against the Seahawks, as in the opening day. Of course, the fans of the Steelers got a scare when Ben Roethlisberger suffered a blow to the left elbow that had him as "questionable to return to the game" for a few minutes. On Pete Carroll's 68th birthday, the Seahawks came out with a valuable victory from Heinz Field, 28-26.
Dallas Cowboys in Washington Redskins
Strong NFC East rivals, the Cowboys survived a game less bright than the previous week, but still effective, to beat Redskins at home who saw a little history written in their stadium. Adrian Peterson, who was not activated for the opening day, outperformed Jim Brown in the historic list of land touchdowns for the fifth place, with his score No. 107 on the ground, placing three of Walter Payton. Valuable victory for the Cowboys, 31-21, to stay at the top of their sector.
Arizona Cardinals in Baltimore Ravens
Without the fireworks of the first day, Lamar Jackson again commanded the Ravens to win, this time at home against the Cards. Unlike last week, now we saw a little more of Jackson on the ground, showing himself much more efficient than the Mark Ingram II runner in this way. Baltimore left its perfect mark at 2-0, to stay at the top of the AFC North. The defeat, by 23-17, leaves the Cards without knowing the victory yet, in 0-1-1.
Jacksonville Jaguars in Houston Texans
The story was defensive in Houston, with the attacks betraying great shortcomings in a match corresponding to the AFC South. Jacksonville's star cornerback, Jalen Ramsey, was involved in an episode of shouting on the bench when, apparently, he was very upset about not receiving support from his coaches to challenge a play after a reception that was marked good for DeAndre Hopkins where he clearly saw that the ball had made contact with the ground. At some point, heavy coach Doug Marrone had to be separated from Ramsey by other players. Later, Ramsey dropped a simple interception that could have fixed everything. We are not going to criticize Marrone for having played it for the win with a 2-point conversion, but perhaps the play selection was not the best, betting on a Leonard Fournette who ran dubiously all day. Ugly, but valuable triumph for the Texans, 13-12.
Kansas City Chiefs at Oakland Raiders
Apparently, Patrick Mahomes is so good that he only needs to play a room. The Chiefs quarterback had a second dream period, throwing four touchdown passes that were enough to defeat the Raiders in the last NFL game we will see with a baseball diamond in the center. On the other hand, Derek Carr became the leading leader in the history of the Raiders, a feat that took just five seasons and two games. In the end, however, Oakland fell 28 to 10 and looks from below to the Chiefs at the top of the AFC West.
Chicago Bears in Denver Broncos
If what you like is the offensive game, you had to avoid Mile High at all costs. Mitch Trubisky threw for just 120 yards in "a quarterback league," while the Broncos runners – Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman – combined for just 90 yards on their side. Joe Flacco momentarily put on the hero's cape with a 2-point conversion to win the match – all the opposite to what happened earlier in the day with Fournette and the Jags -, by 14-13, but the Broncos left enough time on the clock for a providential field goal by Eddy Piñeiro to reverse the fortunes of the Bears, who will travel back to Chicago with a 16-14 victory.
New Orleans Saints at Los Angeles Rams
The injury in the hand of Drew Brees was the most notorious of this match, and should be replaced at the controls by Teddy Bridgewater. At some point in the game, Brees couldn't even hold a ball after being hit in a clean play by Aaron Donald. That was not the only negative thing that happened for the Saints, who again were harmed by the officials, this time after a loose ball from Jared Goff where they denied the possibility of a return for Cameron Jordan touchdown by marking it, initially, incomplete pass . The Rams stacked points towards the end, to win it 27-9, but in general it was not the offensive shooting expected in L.A.
Philadelphia Eagles in Atlanta Falcons
It wasn't pretty, but in the end, it was a good game. Punctual errors of the quarterbacks and defensive backs eventually turned this game into something interesting towards the end, after a somewhat slow start. The violent blows were the order of the night, and there was a long list of injured, including, momentarily, Carson Wentz, for Philly. A connection between Matt Ryan and Julio Jones on the fourth chance when there were about three minutes left to play was the touchdown that put the final number of 24-20 on the scoreboard, although the Eagles had one last chance to turn the game around.
