Week 2 minus the touchdown fest, an unlikely comeback victory, a nail-biting MNF finish, and an update on milestones, streaks and droughts.
Week two has been signed, sealed, and delivered, and what a night and day difference between week one and week two.
This day and age of the NFL with limited preseason action for most starters, week one is usually a pretty slow start.
Some teams continued their upward trajectory, while others came crashing down back to earth, hand up.
We'll hand out a start of the week, a bonehead bench blunder in our closest matchup and finish of the year, going hand-in-hand with a huge comeback on Monday Night Football.
And speaking of sharp distinctions, always like to touch on the Texans and Cowboys games before we get into the matchup breakdown.
And granted, the Texans have played arguably two of the best NFL teams through two weeks in the Bills and the Bengals, but they've got a lot that they need to improve on.
Still some big question marks around the O-line, which translates to the running game, which was nonexistent this past week.
C.J. Stroud being the leading rusher for the Texans this past week, which is not what you want for any team really, and C.J. doesn't deserve all the blame here.
Still some errant throws throughout the course of the game, but he's not making those big mistakes like he did in the playoff game last year.
I think a lot of this has to come down to some of the play calling choices that are going on in Houston.
I feel like it's been at least a couple of seasons of just not being able to get the ball across the finish line.
When they do get into the red zone, it's like they forgot how to play football all of a sudden.
