The second week of the NFL season has come to a close, and what a wild ride it was! The Kansas City Chiefs, known for their clutch gene, stole a 26-25 victory from the Cincinnati Bengals in a game that had all the makings of a classic. But it wasn't just the Chiefs who made headlines - the Minnesota Vikings and Tampa Bay Buccaneers also pulled off stunning upsets, while the New Orleans Saints flexed their offensive muscles against the Dallas Cowboys.
The Chiefs, led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes, are starting to look like their old selves, but the Bengals' sloppy play and inability to capitalize on scoring opportunities kept them from taking control of the game. Meanwhile, the Saints' offense, led by Alvin Kamara, is looking unstoppable, scoring 44 points against the Cowboys and sending a message to the rest of the league. And the Vikings, with quarterback Sam Darnold, are proving that they're not ready to throw in the towel just yet after a tough loss to the 49ers. But what's really got everyone talking is the Buccaneers' 20-16 win over the Lions. In a battle of former No. 1 picks, Baker Mayfield outshone Jared Goff, leading his team to a crucial road victory. And don't count out the Jaguars just yet - despite their 0-2 start, they've got the talent and the determination to turn things around.
