With tonight's game between Pittsburg and Cinncinati will be completed by the second week of the NFL. Yesterday we had the opportunity to watch some great matches. Kansas was lead by Smit to his second victory, Rodgers lead Green Bay to a victory over Washington, Payton Manning is again outscored younger brother, Eli, in the derby of the week Seattle was better than San Francisco.
Falcons 31, Rams24
The Falcons had their hands full at home with the Rams in Week 2, but Matt Ryan threw for 374 yards in a seven-point win.
Ravens 14, Browns 6
In an ugly AFC North game in Baltimore, the defending Super Bowl champs slogged their way to an eight-point win.
Packers, 38, Redskins 20
Aaron Rodgers threw for more than 300 yards in the first half while his counterpart, RG3, and the Redskins offense were blanked as Green Bay cruised to an 18-point win.
Texans 30, Titans 24
For the second straight week, the Texans needed some late fourth quarter magic to get a win.
Dolphins 24, Colts 20
For the second straight week, the Dolphins went on the road to get a win in a game that featured a battle between two of the league's second-year quarterbacks.
Chiefs 17, Cowboys 16
The improvement for the Kansas City Chiefs continued in Week 2, as Alex Smith improved to 2-0 as the new starter.
Chargers 33, Eagles 30
After blowing a big lead in Week 1 at home, the Chargers went on the road and got a late Nick Novak field goal to beat Chip Kelly and the Eagles.
Bills 24, Panthers 23
The Bills drove down the field in the final minute against the Panthers as rookie quarterback E.J. Manuel clinched the one-point win with a last second touchdown.
Bears 31, Vikings 30
Jay Cutler found Martellus Bennett in the end zone with 10 seconds left to tie the game. Then with the successful point after attempt, the Bears pulled out a one-point victory.
Cardinals 25, Lions 21
The Arizona Cardinals were nip-and-tuck with the Lions throughout the afternoon, but a late Rashard Mendenhall touchdown sealed it with just over two minutes to play.
Saints 10, Buccaneers 7
Most people aren't expecting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to rebound against the New Orleans Saints after their disappointing Week 1 loss.
Raiders 19, Jaguars 9
In a battle between two of the NFL's worst teams, the Raiders controlled the Jaguars and never trailed in Oakland.
Broncos 41, Giants 23
The Broncos are in midseason form after a second straight impressive and convincing win, with Peyton getting the better of brother Eli in Week 2.
Derby of the Week
49ers 3 vs. Seahawks 29
Richard Sherman celebrated by dancing with cheerleaders, Marshawn Lynch cut, plowed and strolled his way to three touchdowns, and Pete Carroll got a rousing birthday gift.
The highly anticipated NFC West showdown between the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers was a one-sided rout.
Lynch scored on runs of 14 and 2 yards, and added a 7-yard touchdown reception in the second half, Seattle flustered Colin Kaepernick into his worst passing game as a starter, and the Seahawks dominated in a 29-3 win Sunday night.
The game was delayed 60 minutes late in the first quarter when thunderstorms blew through the area. The game was sloppy as opposed to sensational, but Lynch more than did his part.
Lynch finished with 135 total yards, including 98 rushing, to make up for quarterback Russell Wilson's slow start and Seattle's receivers struggling to get open. Lynch's TD run on the first drive of the second half gave the Seahawks a 12-0 lead. His TD catch pushed the advantage to 19-3 early in the fourth quarter.
This won't be a game noted for efficiency or execution by either side. There were careless turnovers and untimely penalties.
And, in the end, it was the Seahawks getting an early, important advantage over the 49ers.
