NFL WEEK 2 Wrap Up

So after the action in Week # 2 i guess I'm going to have to eat a little crow. I had a recent blog post about all the trash talking coming from the New York Jets, and stated that if your going to trash talk you better back it up well they did. No touchdowns for Tom Brady and the Pats in a 16-9 loss to New York, also in my predictions i said the Bengals would be routed by the Packers, swing and a miss strike 2. Got to give a lot of credit to the Bengals after that horrible week 1 loss i didn't think they had a chance against Green Bay. Jay Cutler redeemed himself against the defending Super Bowl champs 17-14 in Chicago. Baltimore won again with their offense in a 31-26 shootout in San Diego, but Ray Lewis did make the play that won the game. Drew Brees is making it look way too easy in a New Orleans blowout in Philadelphia. The Cowboys opened their new stadium the same way they closed the old one with a loss, only this time to the hated Giants. Finally Peyton Manning found a way to score 27 points in only 15 minutes of being on the field, seems like even keeping him off the field doesn't work. Now for the Best and Worst of Week 2.



TOP 5 BEST OF WEEK 2

1) Frank Gore---207 Yards Rush, 39 Yards Receiving 2 TDs---Gore had runs of 80 and 79 yards in the win over Seattle and is a big reason why they are 2-0, now can he stay healthy?



2) Drew Brees---25 for 34 311 Yards 3 TDs---I have a feeling Brees will be on this list a lot and this week he did it against a much better defense.



3) New York Jets---They played a tremendous game and they backed up all their trash talk and came out with a huge win, kudos to the Jets.



4) Phillip Rivers---25 for 45 436 Yards 2 TDs---The only reason he is not higher is two reasons, his team lost and he did have a couple key INTs that led to 10 Ravens points.



5) Matt Schaub---25 for 39 357 Yards 4 TDs---After a horrible performance in Week 1, Schaub bounced back big time including 2 strikes to Andre Johnson.



TOP 5 WORST OF WEEK 2

1) Tony Romo---127 Yards Passing 3 INTs---Week 1 Romo looked Awesome shredding the Buccs, didn't open the new stadium the way he wanted to with a couple head scratching Picks.



2) Detroit Lions---19 Straight Regular Season Losses---Until the Lions win a game they will always be on this list next week may be their best chance to end the skid.


3) Jeff Reed---Missed 2 Field Goals---Usually reliable Reed missed two crucial FGs which would have been the difference, expect him to bounce back next week.



4) St. Louis Rams---The Rams have scored a total of 7 points in two games, long season ahead in St. Louis.



5) Ravens Secondary---I know a lot of people are jumping on the Baltimore bandwagon but that Secondary must get better, they cant afford to give up over 400 yards passing every game.
