NFL Week 2 Recap



As the season continues to roll along, some of the teams that were not so good in week 1 made a turn around in week 2, while some teams continued to struggle, and others continued to succeed.  During this week, 2 of the top publicized quarterback exited their games with injuries, Michael Vick and Tony Romo.  Also in week 2 the league continued to hand out fines as Atlanta Falcons Dunta Robinson was one player fined ($40,000) during week 2 for a hit led by his helmet against Eagles Maclin in the 3rd quarter.  The Colts also continued to struggle without star quarterback Peyton Manning as they are now 0-2 after losing this past week to Cleveland.  Below are some highlights from this past week.

Stand Out Highlights:

  • Tate continued to start for the Texans this past week rushing for 103 yards in his second start.
  • Tom Brady had 423 passing yards for 3 touchdowns against the  Chargers.
  • Giants fans are beginning to become frustrated with Eli Manning who had 200 passing yards and 2 touchdowns against Rams.  
  • Rams' Bradford had 331 passing yards and 1 touchdown while Alexander had 3 receptions for 122 yards and 1 touchdown.  
  • Tony Romo had 345 passing yards and 2 touchdowns before exiting the game with an injury.
