NFL Round-up: Week 2 Results and Preview of Week 3
The NFL season is in full swing, and some teams are already making their presence felt. Here's a rundown of the key events from Week 2 and a look at what's ahead in Week 3.
Week 2 Recap
- The Indianapolis Colts, led by the impressive play of quarterback Daniel Jones, are off to a 2-0 start, their first time with this record since 2009. Jones has already amassed over 600 total yards passing, with five touchdowns through two games.
- The Kansas City Chiefs, on the other hand, are struggling. Patrick Mahomes is starting 0-2 for the first time in his career in the NFL, and the Chiefs lost to the Philadelphia Eagles last weekend, struggling in key moments.
- The New York Giants have shown signs of improvement on offense, with Wan'Dale Robinson having a standout performance against the Cowboys.
- The Dallas Cowboys have been competitive, with a narrow loss to the Eagles and a win against the Giants.
- The Bears, on the contrary, are finding it tough going. They lost their last two games, including a 52-21 blowout in Detroit. The Bears are allowing the most passing yards per play in the league and are one of the worst teams statistically in terms of pressures.
Week 3 Preview
- The Colts will face the 0-2 Tennessee Titans this weekend in a crucial AFC South clash. If the Colts win, the Jones hype train will get louder.
- The Chiefs will look to bounce back when they face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are also 0-2.
- The Giants will take on the Carolina Panthers, who are 1-1.
- The Cowboys will face the Arizona Cardinals, who are 2-0.
- The Bears will hope to turn things around when they face the Houston Texans, who are also 0-2.
- The Steelers will face the New England Patriots this week before heading to Dublin. Mike Vrabel, a former Patriots linebacker, is now the coach of the Patriots. Rhamondre Stevenson had an impressive outing for the Patriots last weekend.
- The Green Bay Packers, who secured a 27-18 victory over the Washington Commanders last Thursday night, face an undetermined opponent next week. Daniel Whelan, an Enniskerry man, had a promising start to the season with the Packers, including a 65-yard punt in his first game. However, he is currently on the Reserve List of the Green Bay Packers.
Special Mention
The NFL will make its first appearance in Dublin next weekend, with the Pittsburgh Steelers set to play a game there. The exact opponent for the Steelers has not been confirmed yet.
