Speaking of Week 2, it kicks off with a battle between the Lions and the Bills. Buffalo defeated the Houston in Week 1, marking their first victory against the Texans since the 2021 season. Meanwhile, the Lions survived a late-game comeback from the Saints, defeating them in Overtime, 31-30.

On Sunday, we have an exciting matchup between two NFC North Teams — the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears. The Vikings managed to score 29 unanswered points in the last 17 minutes of the game, helping them start the season 1-0. Meanwhile, the Bears' offense absolutely dominated the Panthers as the team went on to score 59 points in their week 1 win. Altogether, both teams scored a combined 98 points in their first games of the season.

We're also interested in seeing the Jaguars-Broncos game on Sunday afternoon. Jacksonville decimated a struggling Browns team, while the Broncos themselves struggled against the Chiefs. Was Denver's week 1 loss just a fluke, or will we see signs of a serious problem forming if they can't hold their own against the Jaguars?
