The Paydirt Report: Week 2Man what a week. I don't remember us ever having so many incredible games going down to the wire in one week. I'm going to catch some flack no matter which game I choose for our Game of the Week, cause there are so many worthy candidates.
The Houston Texans 27-26 upset win over the Arizona Cardinals at Sun Devil Stadium is our Game of the Week. The Texans down 26-17 @ the 2 minute warning, scores 10 points in the final 1:44 including a QB Clancy to WR Smith 29 yd pass connection
and a game winning 26 yd FG by rookie kicker Pereira with no time on the clock.
Now for the rest of the league.
Lets do this by divisions shall we:
AFC West
Oakland(2-0) who was shunned by the 9th annual Beercloud predictions, jumps out o an early division lead over San Diego(1-1) and Kansas City(1-1). Denver(1-1) jumps into the thick of it with rookie GM broncos7nuggetts first Paydirt career win. Congrats on that.
AFC East
Miami(2-0) squeeks out a win to keep rolling and the surprising Buffalo Bills(2-0) win their 2nd straight to open the season tied for first in the division. The New York Jets(1-1) wins their first under new GM Otterpop and New England(1-1) loses to drop a game back
.
AFC North
Cleveland(2-0) continues to roll with their 2nd blowout victory in as many weeks. Can you say regrouped? Cincinnati(1-1) bounces back and Baltimore(1-1) gets into the win column while Pitttsburgh(0-2) trails the pack.
AFC South
This division always seems to stay knotted up or close. With defending division champions Tennessee(0-2) stumbling out of the gate, Jacksonville(1-1), and he up and coming Texans(1-1) along with the surprising Colts(1-1) look to take full advantage. The race is on.
NFC West
Seattle(2-0) grabs the early lead as division rival Arizona(1-1) gets upset in a tough one. Los Angeles(1-1) rebounds from last weeks defeat while San Francisco(0-2) picks up where they left off last season with another loss.
NFC East
Washington(2-0) is looking tough after a tough season in 77'. The New York footbal Giants(2-0) are tied at the top of the division? Say whaaaat? Experts don't expect that to last but it's still looks funny in the newspaper standings. Both defending division champs Dallas(0-2) and Philly(0-2) are in the cellar looking for whine.
NFC North
Green Bay(2-0) flexes their muscle early on to grab the division lead over the North's defending champion Detroit Lions(1-1) who suffered a heartbreak loss to Oakland. Chicago(1-1) jumps into the race while Minnesota (0-2) trails the pack.
NFC South
Tampa Bay(2-2) has every intention of running away with it as they jump out to an early 2 game lead over Carolina(0-2), Atlanta(0-2) and New Orleans(0-2).
