NFL Recap Week 2 2024:

 

Bills 31-10 over the Dolphins: It was the RB James Cook show with two rushing TDs and catching the only TD pass from QB Josh Allen. Their defense forced QB Tua Tagovailoa into three interceptions with one being returned for a TD.

Raiders 26-23 over the Ravens: Late in the 4^th quarter while down the Raiders came back with two field goals and a TD to complete the comeback, as one field goal was made with seconds left on the clock. Daniel Carlson accounted for 14 of their points and for the Ravens Justin Tucker accounted for 11 but also missed a field goal.

Browns 18-13 over the Jaguars: Jacksonville trailed the whole game only having field goals till RB Travis Etienne had a rushing TD late but the game was sealed much earlier. It didn’t help that QB Trevor Lawrence got sacked in the end zone for a safety late. Both QBs had no passing TDs, both teams had fumbles, but the major difference was the Jaguars missing a field goal while Cleveland was perfect on their kicks.

Saints 44-19 over the Cowboys: It was the RB Alvin Kamara show as he had 115 yards rushing with three rushing TDs and he caught one TD pass from QB Derek Carr who threw two plus had one rushing TD. QB Dak Prescott had one fumble and two interceptions and if it weren’t for their kicker it would have been uglier as he accounted for 14 of their points.

Buccaneers 20-16 over the Lions: QB Baker Mayfield out played QB Jared Goff: Mayfield had both a passing TD and a rushing TD while Goff had zero TD passes with two interceptions. Jahmyr Gibbs had Detroit’s only TD.

Packers 16-10 over the Colts: It was all Green Bay as backup QB Malik Willis threw his first career TD pass. QB Anthony Richardson had two of his team’s three fumbles and threw three interceptions as his TD was a late garbage time TD. Both kickers did miss field goals though.

Jets 24-17 over the Titans: QB Aaron Rodgers got his first Jets win by throwing 2 TD passes and out playing QB Will Levis who had one TD pass but an interception and a fumble. Backup RB Braelon Allen had a rushing TD and caught 2 of Rogers’ TD passes. WR Calvin Ridley had both a receiving and a rushing TD.

Vikings 23-17 over the 49ers: QB Brock Purdy had one of his team’s three fumbles and threw an interception while being out played by his former backup in QB Sam Darnold. Darnold had two passing TDs and their kicker accounted for 11 of their points.

Seahawks 23-20 over the Patriots (OT): As time expired the Seahawks tied the game on a field goal and then won it on a game winning field goal in overtime. The Patriots though missed a field goal as it was blocked and had a fumble. Both teams had one rushing TD and one passing TD.

Chargers 26-3 over the Panthers: It was all Chargers as QB Justin Herbert had two passing TDs and JK Dobbins ran all over for 131 yards with a rushing TD. QB Bryce Young had zero TD passes with an interception.

Cardinals 41-10 over the Rams: QB Kyler Murray woke up by throwing three TD passes, two of them going to rookie WR Marvin Harrison(130 yards receiving) and RB James Connor had a rushing TD(122 yards rushing). All that Los Angeles could muster was a rushing TD late.

Commanders 21-18 over the Giants: QB Daniel Jones had no turnovers and threw two TD passes to his young receivers and their new RB Devin Singletary had a rushing TD. But they lost on a game winning field goal by Austin Seibert. He scored all their points for Washington as rookie QB Jayden Daniels had no TDs. The Giants missed a field goal and a two two-point conversion attempt which was the difference.

Steelers 13-6 over the Broncos: In the QB Russell Wilson Bowl (he didn’t play) as Denver again looked terrible on offense. Rookie QB Bo Nix had zero TD passes with two interceptions. QB Justin Fields wasn’t that much better with a fumble and only one TD pass but it was enough.

Chiefs 26-25 over the Bengals: The Chiefs scored a game winning field goal as time expired. Both QBs in Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow had two TD passes, but Mahomes did have two interceptions and Burrow had two of his team’s three fumbles. Evan McPherson was key in keeping the Bengals in the game as he accounted for thirteen of their points.

Texan 19-13 over the Bears: The Bears offense looked pitiful and this opponent wasn’t bad so it didn’t fly. Rookie QB Caleb Williams had no TD passes with two interceptions as his defense and special teams didn’t help him out like in week 1. It was his offensive line allowing seven sacks.  QB CJ Stroud wasn’t special but he didn’t have to be with one TD pass and relying on his defense and kicker to help for the win.

Falcons 22-21 over the Eagles: The Eagles were up 21-15 with 38 seconds left and lost. QB Kirk Cousins threw the game winning TD pass, his second of the game. QB Jalen Hurts did have one passing and one rushing TD for the Eagles but threw an interception to end the game.
