Recap of all the action from Week 2 of the NFL
👍Highlights: Okay, Buffalo Bills, we see you. The reigning AFC East champs put on a show in front of the Miami Dolphins’ home crowd yesterday, shutting out their division rivals 35–0. In Miami’s defense, they lost QB Tua Tagovailoa (pronounced TUNG-o-vai-LOA) early in the game to a rib injury. Ouch.
- Later in the day, the aforementioned
Father TimeTom Brady and Bucs tight end Rob Gronkowski added another two TDs to their career combo, bringing them up to 102, just 12 shy of the highest-scoring duo in NFL history: Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison.
👎Lowlights: Interception (INT) was the name of two games yesterday. NY Jets rookie QB Zach Wilson threw four (!!!) picks in the Jets’ loss to the New England Patriots, and the Cincinnati Bengals lost to the Chicago Bears as second-year QB Joe Burrow threw three INTs in three consecutive passing attempts. Yikes.
🤕 Injuries: Some of the game’s biggest names suffered seriously yesterday. Aside from Tagovailoa, Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry, Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt, Bears QB Andy Dalton and Houston Texans QB Tyrod Taylor all exited their games with injuries. Get well soon!
