A Sunday of upsets saw the Saints batter the Cowboys, Raiders stun the Ravens and Vikings stifle the 49ers.
It was a Sunday of shock results in week two, showing this NFL season could be wide open as more teams join the list of contenders.
Defending Super Bowl champions the Kansas City Chiefs edged their big rivals Cincinnati Bengals in another thriller and the Green Bay Packers found a way to win without Jordan Love.Putting 40-plus points against the lowly Carolina Panthers last week was one thing, but beating the Cowboys 44-19 in their home opener is a different story as the Saints sent out a warning to the rest of the league.
After being just a big toe away from beating the Chiefs last week, Baltimore were expected to roll over the Raiders but managed to blow a 10-point lead in the final 12 minutes to lose 26-23. Chiefs coach Andy Reid had to dig deep into his box of tricks, with Patrick Mahomes throwing a TD pass to giant offensive tackle Wanya Morris - who weighs in at just over 22st.
Jordan Mason had 100 rushing yards and a TD, Deebo Samuel topped 100 receiving yards and George Kittle found the end zone, but the Niners could not generate enough points - or keep the pressure off Brock Purdy as he was sacked six times. Another transformed QB led the way as Baker Mayfield, who was sacked five times, showed his fighting spirit as he ran in the winning score with just 34 seconds left on the clock.Rookie running back Braelon Allen became the youngest TD scorer in the Super Bowl era as he helped Aaron RodgersIt was a nice touch as 40-year-old Rodgers threw a TD pass to 20-year-old Allen as the league's oldest and youngest players combined to find the end zone in their win at Tennessee.
