The Buccaneers could be legitimate contenders, and it might be time to panic in Baltimore.
Clearly, no one learned from the New England Patriots’ stunning Week 1 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, because the heavy favorites were consensus picks at many media outlets across the country this week.picked the Dallas Cowboys, San Francisco 49ers, Baltimore Ravens, Indianapolis Colts and Detroit Lions to win their respective games Sunday.
Let’s share what we learned in Week 2—hopefully more than last week. Maybe next week we’ll be a little more bold with our picks.It wasn’t pretty at times, but the Tampa Bay Buccaneers showed plenty of grit against a Super Bowl contender known for gritty performances. One obvious concern for the Lions’ slow start this season is the lack of involvement from tight end Sam LaPorta, who was held to two receptions for 13 yards against the Buccaneers, a testament to Todd Bowles’s defense.
The Raiders’ ferocious defense kept the Ravens’ offense contained most of the game, giving Minshew an opportunity to brush off another slow start. Las Vegas’s star players were instrumental in the shocking victory, with Maxx Crosby recording two sacks and four tackles for loss. Davante Adams stepped up with nine catches for 110 yards and one touchdown.
Many will focus on Anthony’s mistake—and whether the official should have called defensive pass interference on the throw intended for Rashee Rice. But Joe Burrow and the Bengals’ offense had plenty of opportunities to increase their lead. Cincinnati punted on its final possession and Burrow had a costly lost fumble earlier in the fourth quarter.
After not getting much credit for crushing the Carolina Panthers in Week 1, Derek Carr, Alvin Kamara and the rest of the Saints’ offense made an emphatic statement by embarrassing the Cowboys, 44–19, in front of their home crowd at AT&T Stadium.
