The Paydirt Report: Week 2And there off. Were got out of the gate last week and are now in full trot. And just like that we are already down to 8 undefeated teams and 8 winless teams. The bulk off the league is even up after two. The scoring seems to be up from last year thus far. Besides the 81 points that Buffalo put on Washington, lets see what else went on in Paydirt week 2.
AFCWest
I was just joking last week when I said that the Wild Wild West was getting tamer. But everybody besides Oakland(0-2), is 1-1 in the division. Is this really going to be the Bland Bland West? We have a loooong way to go and as you can see Im having a lil fun with this. In all seriousness, with Kansas City(1-1) and San Diego(1-1) losing, Denver(1-1) waisted little time pouncing on the opportunity to jump into the 3 way tie by trouncing Indianapolis.
East
Miami(2-0) keeps looking straight ahead with their win, while Buffalo(1-1) bounces back in a big way so they wont lose any ground to the Dolphins. The NY Jets(0-2) has gotten off to a surprisingly slow start with their 2nd straight loss as has New England(0-2).
North
Cleveland(1-1) grabs a share of the division lead after stumbling out of the gate to tie up a losing Cincinnati(1-1) goes down to powerhouse Seattle. Both the Bengals and the Browns opened the season with two very tough opponents. Baltimore(1-1) wins to enter the division race as well. Welcome Ravens, hope you can stay awhile. Pittsburgh(0-2) drops their 2nd.
South
They were all undefeated last week but as of now only Houston(2-0) remains standing. Indianapolis(1-1), Tennessee(1-1) and Jacksonville(1-1) all go down in defeat.
NFCEast
Dallas(2-0) still remains supreme in the NFC East. The NY Giants(1-1) returns to the win column with Philly(0-2) and hapless Washington(0-2) remain winless.
West
The steam roller out of Seattle that we call the Seahawks(2-0) keeps the train a rollin. Arizona(1-1), Los Angeles(1-1) and San Francisco(1-1) are knotted up behind them. With the Rams GM calling his shot of taking the Rams to the playoffs this season. A bold statement out of LA that the press will be keeping an eye on. With Seattle talkin smack last week and LA calling their shot this week, Id say this division has gotten a lil saucy. Gotta love the spice.
North
Defending Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers(2-0) has picked up where they left off with a good start to the season. Detroit(2-0) does the same and it looks like these two will be battling it out all season for that NFC North title. Chicago(1-1) hops into the win column while Minnesota(0-2) still looking for that first win.
South
The South is usually the one known for the spice. But this year they have been a lil quiet to open the season. With exception of the still celebrating Atlanta Falcons(2-0) who's GM is on a 24 hr party clock. That is supposed to be New orleans(0-2) gig I thought. Tampa Bay(2-0) holds serve as the reigning NFC South champ. Carolina(1-1) rebounds from their opening weekend loss.
