Football League Week 2 Summary: Champions, Contenders, and Developments to Monitor
NFL Roundup: Week 2 Drama and Surprises
In a tense Week 2 of the 2025 NFL season, several teams showcased their resilience and skill, while others faced setbacks.
Kelce's Outburst and Mixed Performance
Travis Kelce, the tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, had a heated moment on the sideline during the game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Caught on camera, Kelce was seen yelling "I'm sick of this" during a helmet-throwing tirade. Despite this, Kelce's performance on the field was mixed, with four catches for 61 yards, though he dropped a potential game-winning touchdown pass. The Chiefs, currently 0-2, will be looking to bounce back in their next game.
Special Teams Struggles
The Washington Commanders and Miami Dolphins are struggling with their Special Teams units so far this season. The Commanders rank around 84.0, while the Dolphins are slightly better at 81.0. This is in comparison to teams like the Arizona Cardinals and Las Vegas Raiders, who have higher rankings near 90+ points.
49ers' Impressive Win
The San Francisco 49ers managed to secure a victory against the New Orleans Saints, despite being without Brock Purdy and George Kittle. Mac Jones stepped up, leading the team to a win, which could be a sign of hope for the team's season as their stars recover.
Dramatic Finishes
Brandon Aubrey, the Dallas Cowboys' long kicker, made headlines with a 64-yard field goal as time expired in the fourth quarter against the New York Giants, sending the game into overtime. Aubrey followed it up with a 46-yard kick in overtime to secure the win for the Cowboys.
Miami Dolphins' Tough Loss
The Miami Dolphins faced a tough loss against the New England Patriots, despite coming back from a 12-0 deficit to take a 17-15 lead. However, Tua Tagovailoa's untimely interception and poor plays, including a zero-yard rush on third and 12 and a game-losing sack on fourth down, proved costly for the Dolphins.
Steelers' Special Teams Error
The Pittsburgh Steelers' special teams unit made an error during a kickoff against the Seattle Seahawks, with rookie Kaleb Johnson failing to down the ball in the end zone. This resulted in a live ball recovery by Seattle's George Holani for a touchdown.
Jones Impresses for Colts
Daniel Jones, the quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts, has led the team to a 2-0 start in the 2025 NFL season. With impressive performances of 316 yards and two total touchdowns against Denver, Jones is off to a strong start.
Bengals Lose Quarterback
Joe Burrow, the quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals, suffered a turf toe injury in the second quarter against Jacksonville. The injury will require surgery and is expected to keep him out for around three months.
Dominant Play from Joey Bosa
Joey Bosa, the defensive end for the Los Angeles Chargers, has shown dominant play in the first two games of the 2025 NFL season. With seven quarterback pressures, one sack, and two forced fumbles against the New York Jets, Bosa is making a strong case for Defensive Player of the Year.
Eagles Capitalize on Kelce's Mistake
In a game against the Kansas City Chiefs, the Philadelphia Eagles scored a touchdown on a return of a would-be interception by Travis Kelce, giving them a 20-10 lead and effectively putting the game away.
