The NFL's Explosive Start: Saints Continue Hot Streak, Chiefs Win Thrilling Match Against Bengals

USAMon Sep 16 2024
The 2024 NFL season is off to a thrilling start, with the New Orleans Saints continuing their historic start to the season. The Saints' 44-19 victory over the Dallas Cowboys was their second consecutive offensive explosion, with quarterback Derek Carr and running back Alvin Kamara leading the charge. The Saints have now scored 91 points in their first two games, a feat only achieved by two other teams since 1970. Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs won a nail-biting match against the Cincinnati Bengals, with a last-second field goal from Harrison Butker securing a 26-25 victory. The Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes was his usual self, throwing two touchdown passes and two interceptions, but it was his defense that came up with the game-winning play. The Ravens and Lions suffered upset home losses, with the Las Vegas Raiders and Tampa Bay Buccaneers respectively. The Ravens had a chance to win the game, but Lamar Jackson and Co. couldn't produce a last-second miracle to rescue the win. The Lions were also upset at home, with Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers avenging last season's playoff loss in impressive fashion.
