Week two in the NFL was a wild one with a mixture of frantic finishes and big blowouts, plus an early game of the season contender in Dallas.
With touchdowns flying in everywhere else, defence was key in Kansas City, where the Chiefs slipped to a rare 0-2 start after losing their Super Bowl rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles 20-17.
The Cowboys triumphed in overtime after an outrageous fourth quarter battle with the New York Giants, while the Indianapolis Colts also won their game with the last kick of the contest. The Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens and Detroit Lions flexed their muscles with blowout wins, Aaron Rodgers had a home debut to forget in Pittsburgh and Joe Burrow’s toe is a big worry in Cincinnati. Yes, it’s only week two, but the pressure is on now for the Chiefs after some unwanted firsts for Patrick Mahomes – a first 0-2 start to a season and first three-game losing streak of his stellar career.
It’s also a first 0-2 start for Kansas City since 2014 – the last time they missed the play-offs.
