Chiefs back in business as star QBs go down - five things from NFL week two
Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs look back to their best but Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels suffer serious injuries. Here's what you need to know from week two in the NFL.
Week two of the NFL saw a dramatic shift in fortunes as defenses stepped up to confront star quarterbacks. The Chicago Bears experienced a significant drop-off, dropping 56 points after scoring 59 points in week one, ultimately falling to a 9-3 loss at home against the Minnesota Vikings. Injuries to standout quarterbacks Caleb Williams (Bears) and Jayden Daniels (Washington) further hampered the teams' performances.
Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs demonstrated their dominance with a 33-30 overtime victory over the Indianapolis Colts, showcasing Patrick Mahomes' continued prowess with three touchdowns and 382 passing yards. The Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks both relied on overtime wins, with Green Bay overcoming a six-game losing streak to defeat the New York Jets 20-17.
Seattle's consistent play, demonstrated by their 12th consecutive win, was on full display as they defeated the Arizona Cardinals 31-7. The Cincinnati Bengals showed improvement with a 20-6 victory over the Houston Texans, while the Philadelphia Eagles secured a 9th-quarter win against the Tennessee Titans. The New Orleans Saints' upset of the Baltimore Ravens (24-17) indicated their ability to turn around a strong comeback, and the Las Vegas Raiders' impressive 26-14 win over the Chargers kept their winning streak alive.
The Atlanta Falcons, however, were a glaring example of struggle, being beaten 34-3 by the Carolina Panthers, highlighting the quarterback issues plaguing the team.
