Wild Week 2 in NFL
Posted by Steve

We had another great week of NFL action. While Week 1 will be remembered for some major injuries, led by Tom Brady, Week 2 can be remembered for some shootouts.

Green Bay put up 48 points. San Francisco nipped Seattle 33-30. Denver beat San Diego 39-38 on one of the more gutsy (if they had failed that word would read "stupid") calls when Shanahan went for two. And Monday night's matchup ended with Dallas beating Philly 41-37.

There were some odd events in Week 2. The Denver game should have ended when Jay Cutler fumbled the ball with less than a minute left and San Diego recovered...but no, instant replay and a referee blowing the whistle way too early gave Denver another chance and they cashed in.

The most bizarre event took place on Monday when Eagles receiver DeSean Jackson caught a long pass, tossed the ball aside and celebrated in the end zone. Unfortunately, replay showed he tossed the ball on the ground before he was actually in the end zone, but since Dallas didn't recover it, the Eagles got the ball at the one or two and scored on the next play. Otherwise, we would have been talking about this one along with Leon Lett and Jim Marshall running the wrong way.

A couple other rookies broke out in a big way on Sunday. Darren McFadden ran for 164 yards in a Raiders win, while Jonathan Stewart ran for 77 yards and two touchdowns. Matt Forte had another strong week with 92 yards. Eddie Royal impressed everyone again and caught the game-winning TD. And despite his horrible lapse in judgment, Jackson put up his second straight 100-yard effort in his first two games as a pro, which hasn't been done for 60 years. I wonder how many laps he's going to have to run this week though.
