What a game, Jacob! The Kansas City Chiefs and Indianapolis Colts went the distance on Sunday β all the way to overtime β in what was easily the most exciting game of NFL Week 2. Patrick Mahomes was absolutely electric, finishing with 32 of 47 passes for 382 yards and 3 touchdowns, and he saved his best for last with a game-winning drive in extra time to seal a 33β30 Chiefs victory.
Kenyan Walker III was a workhorse on the ground, rushing 24 times for 117 yards to keep the chains moving when it mattered most. The Colts fought hard β giving Mahomes and company all they could handle β but in the end, Chiefs magic was just too much. Kansas City now sits at a perfect 2-0 to start the season, sharing the top of the AFC West with the surging Las Vegas Raiders, who also improved to 2-0 with a 26β14 upset over the Chargers.
Week 2 was PACKED with big stories: the Carolina Panthers destroyed the Atlanta Falcons 34β3 behind Bryce Young's 287-yard, 3-TD performance; the New Orleans Saints upset the Baltimore Ravens 24β17; and the Philadelphia Eagles stayed undefeated at 2-0 with a 24β20 road win in Tennessee. Fourteen games, zero boring ones β Week 2 delivered!
It was a massive Sunday slate with 14 games. The Panthers and Eagles look like early Super Bowl contenders. The 49ers went to 2-0 after smashing the Dolphins 35β13 behind a near-perfect Brock Purdy (20/22, 287 yds, 2 TDs). Keep an eye on the Seahawks too β Geno Smith and Drew Lock (3 TDs!) have Seattle flying at 2-0!
