NFL Talk in hour # 2 on the Sports Kings Show with MeanGene and David Ramon.
Three quarterbacks – Pittsburgh’s BEN ROETHLISBERGER (452 passing yards), Minnesota’s KIRK COUSINS (425) and Tampa Bay’s RYAN FITZPATRICK (402) – threw for at least 400 yards in Week 2. There have been six 400-yard passing performances in the first two weeks of the season, tied with the 2011 and 2013 seasons for the most 400-yard passers through the first two weeks of a season in league history. Fitzpatrick, who has thrown for at least 400 yards in each of the Buccaneers first two games of the season, looks to become the first player in NFL history with at least 400 passing yards in three consecutive games.
Seven teams enter Week 3 with a 2-0 record: CINCINNATI, DENVER, JACKSONVILLE, KANSAS CITY, the LOS ANGELES RAMS, MIAMI and TAMPA BAY. Two teams from the NFC North– GREEN BAY and MINNESOTA – have a record of 1-0-1 after tying 29-29 at Lambeau Field last week. Five of the nine undefeated teams this season missed the 2017 postseason – Cincinnati, Denver, Green Bay, Miami and Tampa Bay.
Two first-year head coaches – Detroit’s MATT PATRICIA and Indianapolis’ FRANK REICH – face their former teams as the Lions welcome the New England Patriots to Ford Field on Sunday Night Football (8:20 PM ET, NBC) and the Colts travel to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles (1:00 PM ET, FOX).
