Trevor Lawrence : Maybe Lawrence just needs to play the Indianapolis Colts every week. We can already see that the defense will be more than good enough this season. Tampa Bay's offense will get healthier and better. The Saints had a meaningless touchdown after that to make the stat sheet look better. Mike Edwards' pick-six off Jameis Winston put the game away.
The defense kept the Bucs in it until Tom Brady hit Breshad Perriman for a 28-yard touchdown pass to give Tampa Bay a 10-3 lead.
The score was 3-3 into the fourth quarter. It's without several key players, including a few linemen and receiver Chris Godwin.Ī week after throttling the Dallas Cowboys, the Buccaneers shut down the New Orleans Saints in a 20-10 win. His magic act was enormous for the Jets to get some momentum early this season.īuccaneers defense: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' offense hasn't done much this season, though Tampa has good reasons. He showed Sunday he's still capable of big moments. The Jets picked off Jacoby Brissett after that and the Jets escaped with a 31-30 win.įlacco has had a great career but he's in the backup phase of it. Then Flacco led a scoring drive that was capped by rookie receiver Garrett Wilson's second touchdown of the game with 22 seconds left. But a great spinning onside kick was mishandled by Browns receiver Amari Cooper, and the Jets recovered. Teams rarely get onside kicks anymore due to new rules. Joe Flacco and the Jets: The New York Jets were bad in Week 1 and they were trailing 30-17 with less than two minutes to go in Sunday's game at the Cleveland Browns.įlacco, starting in place of injured Zach Wilson, threw a 66-yard touchdown to Corey Davis to give the Jets hope. And they know they can win games with him. San Francisco didn't know what it had with Lance, and the quarterback controversy could have followed the Niners around all season. He wasn’t splashy but he was solid and the 49ers won. Garoppolo came in for Lance and completed 13 of 21 passes for 154 yards and a touchdown, and added a rushing touchdown in a 27-7 win over the Seattle Seahawks. Jimmy Garoppolo : This isn’t how Garoppolo wanted the San Francisco 49ers’ starting quarterback job back, with Trey Lance suffering a season-ending ankle injury.īut he did pretty well with his opportunity Sunday. But the Broncos need to get much better, and in a hurry. The Broncos won 16-9, which is good because the heat on Hackett would be ridiculous if Denver lost at home. The Broncos wasted timeouts for things like not having a returner deep when the Houston Texans were ready to punt. The Broncos' rookie head coach made an unpopular decision to try a 64-yard field goal in the season opener, and Sunday was another string of sloppy errors. Here are the rest of the winners and losers from Week 2 of the NFL season: WINNERSĭenver Broncos, kind of: The Broncos won, but there will be another week of Nathaniel Hackett criticism coming.
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (10) gestures as he runs for a touchdown in a comeback win over the Ravens. The Dolphins haven't always hit on their high-profile moves. He's one of the rare non-quarterbacks who has that type of an impact. The Dolphins got Hill, hired offensive guru Mike McDaniel as their new head coach and they look better than they have in a long time. Ownership didn't believe fully in Tagovailoa either, considering the tampering with Tom Brady that cost Stephen Ross a $1.5 million fine and a suspension. He needed Hill, and a coaching staff that believed in him. It wasn't his fault he was drafted before Justin Herbert, who he'll always be compared to. He had played only two NFL seasons, and was still working back from an awful hip injury he suffered in his final season at Alabama. Tagovailoa was criticized and not all of it was fair. Hill's presence is also the main reason Tagovailoa looks like he might have a new start to his career. That's a reason Jaylen Waddle had 171 yards and two touchdowns.
Because teams have to account for his world-class speed on every play, it opens up a lot elsewhere in the field. He has a unique ability to make defenses look slow. Hill had 190 yards on 11 catches, including two long touchdowns in the comeback. Give Tagovailoa credit, but also give the Dolphins' front office credit for understanding how Hill would change Miami's entire offense.
