• Dolphins come back to earth - defence still a big issue
• Bears shit the bed but Fields has a career day
• Defence can’t carry the rookie QB for the Browns and Ravens look good again. Who are the real Ravens? Who are the real Browns?
• Puka Nacua!
• Last chance saloon for Joe and the Bengals this week. Another disaster on offence
• If ever it’s their week it is this one against an awful, awful Cardinals defence (#30 DVOA defence down from #16 the previous week! - Cincy up two spots offensively into #23)
• CJ Stroud balls out again! Texans looking like they could be division winners!?
• Where to for the Pats? Worst loss for Bill Belichick. Ever!

Did Arizona crack the Cowboys code?

It was a HUGE week with plenty more to dissect, plus a new segment: The Take Bag!

There's so much to dissect in Week 2 including...

• Nick Chubb out for the season and there goes another wasted year for the Browns
• Vikings' luck finally run out? Fall to 0-2
• Eagles (2-0) fly high again with the run game back in a big way!
• Bijan Robinson is a beast and better than advertised. These Falcons are plucky
• Bills get on the board, but a great test this week on the road
• Bengals 0-2 again! Another bad loss for Joey B. Is he carrying an injury?
• Lamar back to his best as Ravens take early control of AFC North
• Seahawks and Lions play another thriller
• Chargers charger again and now sit 0-2

• Shaq Barrett TD is an early contender for the moment of the season
• Jags can’t take the next step…
• GIANT comeback
• The Big D in Dallas stands for only one thing. They are scary good
• Rus cooks then simmers but the Broncos are 0-2 and staring down a 0-3 start
• TJ Watt is an absolute machine!

Plus our Power Rankings - who's the big climbers and sliders
