Week 2 kicks off on TNF with the number 1 pick against 2018's number 1 pick in a divisional game. Both teams coming of disappointing losses but one of the teams had far more positives than the other.

This tweet from Ken McKusick really exemplifies how poor Baker Mayfield was against the Ravens on Sunday:



but Joe Burrow made some mistakes too while spending most of the game running for his life...
expect the Browns DL to cause the Bengals some real problems especially Garrett

Other interesting games to keep an eye on:

Falcons vs Cowboys - 2 offences with weapons galore who didn't manage to fully bloom against difficult opponents week 1...

Vikings vs Colts - 2 teams who'd like to think of themselves as contenders but who had 2 of the more devastating week 1 losses

Patriots vs Seahawks - intriguing matchup that you'd expect seattle to win but the patriots are frisky with Cam at QB

Bengals @ Browns: If the Browns played on any other day but Sunday, they would probably live up to their expectations. The Browns once again seem to have trouble brewing, OBJ may be traded and Baker looks to be just another in the long line of Browns quarterbacks. Meanwhile the Bengals seemingly have struck gold with Burrow as if not for AJ Green they may be 1-0. Which Ohio team will stake claim to victory tonight?

Jaguars @ Titans: Minshew Magic is upon us as Gardner Minshew threw 3 TDs en route to a stunning upset over the Colts. The Titans on a short week look to keep their momentum going from Monday Night, unless Gostkowski kicks their momentum away paving way for a surprising 2-0 start in Duval.

Panthers @ Bucs: TB vs TB this week as Brady & the Bucs welcome the visiting Carolina Panthers. Perhaps it was the lack of offseason, or no preseason games, but Brady didn't look good. Will this put an end to the Belichick or Brady question or is Father Time claiming another once great player?

Broncos @ Steelers: The Steelers home opener sees Drew Lock and the Broncos' two remaining timeouts from Monday head to the Steel City. Big Ben looked great on Monday, and the defense was stout holding Saquon Barkley to just 6 yards. Steelers are showing signs of a Super Bowl contender in the making.

Rams @ Eagles: The Rams head across the country for a showdown with the Eagles. Washington's defensive front ate Carson Wentz for lunch sacking him eight times in their win. Now the Eagles offensive line has to deal with Aaron Donald & Michael Brockers this week, can Carson stay healthy at this point?

49ers @ Jets: The J-E-T-S are a complete M-E-S-S under Adam Gase. The 49ers loss to Arizona will hurt in the long run but should be a good bounce back this week against the Jets.

Bills @ Dolphins: The Jets may be a mess but so are the Dolphins who are still starting Ryan Fitzpatrick. Have to wonder if another terrible game this week will be enough to see Tua play in the NFL.

Vikings @ Colts: Both teams look to rebound here as the Colts are realizing what they really got when they signed Philip Rivers, and the Vikings find themselves behind the Pack already.

Lions @ Packers: To sum up Matt Patricia's tenure in Detroit, Trubisky's comeback drive to win is exactly why he'll be the first head coach fired. Rodgers came out motivated after an offseason of controversy and looks to do the same to the Lions this week.

Giants @ Bears:

Falcons @ Cowboys:

Washington @ Cardinals:

Chiefs @ Chargers: Based off last week, the Chargers aren't going to score enough to keep up with Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. This will be a blowout.

Patriots @ Seahawks: Cam Newton is going to learn quick that you don't play the Dolphins every week as the Pats travel to Seattle for Sunday Night Football. Russell Wilson had an excellent performance last week against Atlanta, and looks to keep rolling at home. We are going to learn if the Cam Newton of old is really back or not.

Saints @ Raiders: VIVA LAS VEGAS! The Raiders home opener in Sin City sees the Saints come marching in on Monday Night. New Orleans looks to continue playing spoiler as they spoiled Tom Brady's Tampa debut last week and look to do the same for the Raiders.

Browns to be without Right Tackle Jack Conklin, also they signed Mr. Double Doink himself Cody Parkey to be their new Kicker this week. Let's see how that's going....

This is gonna be a blowout, they got Chubb and Beckham going early, and the bungals have absolutely nothing to slow them down.

Refs are screwing the Bengals big time

Man I can’t even front... the browns New Jersey’s are pretty tight. The orange pants are trash but when they wear the white pants, they can at least look good while they lose

You can see the look of relief on OBJ's face now that he's free from "prison."

Also, LeBron can GTFOH. I thought he was a Cowboys fan.

Clearly, the Browns need to play on any other day but Sunday. Amazing how they can win on Monday, Thursday or Saturday but struggle to win on Sundays.

Can Troy at least try to hide his hard-on for Burrow and Baker

Dolphins vs Jaguars is next Thursday? Gosh Thursday Night Football gets the short end of the stick in the matchup selections.

Burrow oddly looks sharp but inaccurate. Like not consistently on either, but I feel like he’s looked mentally sharp for a rookie but has quite a few throws with questionable placement

Aj green looks like he’s lost a step. He always seems to be JUST shy and he’s just always come
Down with those his whole career
