Week 2

Week 2 of the NFL had a couple exciting finishes and hyped matchups. The best game by far was the divisional matchup between the San Diego Chargers and the Denver Broncos. The Broncos outlasted the Chargers 39-38, only before giving up a huge first half lead. This game did not end without controversy however. On 2nd and goal with the Broncos trailing 38-31, Broncos' quarterback Jay Cutler dropped back to throw but fumbled the ball and the fumble was picked up by Tim Dobbins. Referee Ed Hochuli, however, blew the whistle signaling that it was an incomplete pass. Hochuli was not able to change the call since he blew the play dead, and the Broncos had another chance, and they capitalized by Cutler's touchdown throw to wide receiver Eddie Royal. They decided to go for the two point conversion instead for the win, and Royal caught the conversion as well to go ahead. Another great game was the Monday night matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys. Both defenses were not very good, and both offenses capitalized. The Cowboys won 41-37, behind quarterback Tony Romo's three touchdown passes, two of them that ended up to Terrell Owens. He threw for 312 yards. Eagles' quarterback Donovan McNabb also threw for a touchdown and 281 yards in another explosive offensive outburst for the Eagles. Down the stretch, however, the Eagles could not make the plays necessary to take the lead. In other games, the Indianapolis Colts defeated the Minnesota Vikings 18-15, on Adam Vinatieri's 47 yard field goal with 3 seconds left to win. The New England Patriots, behind backup quarterback Matt Cassel, beat the New York Jets 19-10. That was the most surprising outcome, as I thought the Patriots would struggle with Cassel. The Chargers and Broncos matchup was definitely the best and I think Jay Cutler is going to be a good quarterback in this league. What do you think? Who had the most impressive performance this week? Which team is in trouble?
