It might not get any better than the clash between the Buccaneers and Lions, and we’ll find out if Sam Darnold’s debut with the Vikings was a fluke.
features many strong favorites, but as we learned last week after the New England Patriots shocked the Cincinnati Bengals, these games are rarely predictable.
Well, maybe there might be a few predictable games. Not many are giving the Carolina Panthers a chance to beat the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. Then again, that was the case last week with the Patriots and Bengals. But based on how bad the Panthers have been in recent memory, we left off the potential trap game for the Chargers from our list of best games of the week.
There are many intriguing battles to choose from in Week 2, but it might not get any better than the clash between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Detroit Lions. The Baker Mayfield–led Buccaneers pushed the Lions during their playoff matchup in January. Tampa Bay’s surprising 2023 season doesn’t appear to be a fluke after a dominant Week 1 victory against the Washington Commanders.
Speaking of fluke, we’re keeping tabs on Sam Darnold after his impressive Minnesota Vikings debut, throwing for 208 yards and two touchdowns in the victory against the New York Giants. Darnold can prove he’s a different quarterback from his New York Jets days by leading Minnesota to an upset win against the mighty San Francisco 49ers.
We’ll also highlight the Dallas Cowboys vs. New Orleans Saints, Chiefs vs. Bengals, and Houston Texans vs. Chicago Bears. Here’s what you need to know about the Week 2 games, including Gilberto Manzano’s key matchups, Matt Verderame’s key stats, Michael Fabiano’s who to start and who to sit inBuccaneers WR Mike Evans vs. Lions’ secondary.
