NFL Week 2: Overtime drama, Super Bowl rematch and comeback wins...

A thrilling Week 2 of the NFL season saw multiple games decided in the final moments, highlighted by an overtime showdown between star quarterbacks and a dramatic comeback victory sparked by a backup quarterback. The action also included a Super Bowl rematch and a series of dominant defensive performances that dictated the outcome of several key matchups across the league.

Cowboys 40, Giants 37 (OT)

The Dallas Cowboys extended their winning streak over the New York Giants to nine games in a 40-37 overtime thriller. Despite a stellar performance from Giants quarterback Russell Wilson, who threw for 450 yards and three touchdowns, the Cowboys’ offense, led by Dak Prescott, matched every score. A 46-yard field goal from Brandon Aubrey with no time left on the clock in overtime sealed the victory after he had also made a game-tying 64-yarder to end regulation.

Bills 30, Jets 10

The Buffalo Bills’ dominant defense shut down Justin Fields and the Jets’ offense in a convincing 30-10 victory. Despite a brief scare when quarterback Josh Allen left the game with a bloody nose, the Bills offense, led by James Cook’s 132 rushing yards and two touchdowns, kept the pressure on. Allen returned to the game quickly with gauze in his nose and was able to manage the game effectively.

Lions 52, Bears 21

The Detroit Lions bounced back from their Week 1 loss in a big way, with Jared Goff throwing for 334 yards and a career-high five touchdowns, three of which went to Amon-Ra St. Brown. The Lions' explosive offense proved too much for the Bears, who struggled with turnovers and penalties. The victory marked the first time in franchise history the Lions scored 500+ yards and five passing touchdowns and two rushing scores in the same game.

Bengals 31, Jaguars 27

A left toe injury to Joe Burrow was a major blow for the Bengals, but backup quarterback Jake Browning stepped up in a big way, throwing for 241 yards and a touchdown and scoring the game-winning touchdown with a 1-yard sneak with 18 seconds remaining. The Bengals rallied from a second-half deficit, with Ja’Marr Chase having a breakout performance with 14 receptions for 165 yards.

Seahawks 31, Steelers 17

The Seattle Seahawks took advantage of a sloppy performance by the Pittsburgh Steelers, with quarterback Sam Darnold throwing for 295 yards and two touchdowns. A key special teams miscue—a muffed kickoff recovered by George Holani for a touchdown—swung the momentum permanently in the Seahawks' favor.

Ravens 41, Browns 17

The Baltimore Ravens' defense came to life, harassing former Super Bowl-winning Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco in his return to Baltimore. The Ravens held the Browns to just 17 points, and their offense, led by four touchdown passes from Lamar Jackson, pulled away in the second half for a decisive 41-17 victory.

Patriots 33, Dolphins 27

Rookie quarterback Drake Maye led the Patriots to their first win under new head coach Mike Vrabel in a 33-27 victory over the Dolphins. Maye was efficient, throwing for two touchdowns and rushing for another, while special teams provided a huge boost with a 90-yard kickoff return for a touchdown from Antonio Gibson in the fourth quarter.

Rams 33, Titans 19

The Los Angeles Rams remained undefeated, spoiling rookie quarterback Cam Ward’s home debut with a 33-19 win over the Titans. Matthew Stafford threw for 298 yards and two touchdowns, and the Rams’ defense sacked Ward five times to secure the victory.

49ers 26, Saints 21

Backup quarterback Mac Jones, filling in for an injured Brock Purdy, had a career-tying three touchdown passes, leading the San Francisco 49ers to a 26-21 win over the New Orleans Saints. The 49ers' balanced attack and strong defensive play earned them their second consecutive road victory to start the season.

Eagles 20, Chiefs 17

In a Super Bowl rematch, the Philadelphia Eagles’ defense dominated the Kansas City Chiefs, holding Patrick Mahomes to just 187 passing yards. A late interception by Andrew Mukuba of Mahomes sealed the 20-17 victory for the Eagles, who have now won three straight matchups against the Chiefs.

Cardinals 27, Panthers 22

The Arizona Cardinals survived a furious comeback attempt by the Carolina Panthers, who scored three touchdowns in the second half after trailing 27-3. A crucial sack by veteran Calais Campbell on fourth down with seconds remaining ensured the Cardinals held on for a 27-22 win.

Colts 29, Broncos 28

The Indianapolis Colts secured a dramatic comeback victory against the Denver Broncos with a game-winning field goal from Spencer Shrader as time expired. The Colts benefited from a penalty on the Broncos that moved them into field goal range, and an impressive performance from running back Jonathan Taylor, who had 165 rushing yards.

Falcons 22, Vikings 6

The Atlanta Falcons’ ground game was unstoppable as Bijan Robinson rushed for 143 yards in a 22-6 win over the Minnesota Vikings. The Falcons’ defense suffocated Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy, recording six sacks and forcing three turnovers.
