3 NFL Week 2 Takeaways

1. Panthers to the Playoffs- the Week 1 win against the Jets seemed like an aberration but following that up with a dominant win against the Saints definitely opened some eyes, Sam Darnold put up another solid performance against a defense that held Aaron Rodgers and the Packers to 3 points, the schedule is favorable as the team won’t face an opponent that made the playoffs last year again until November 21st when it hosts Washington, are 3rd behind Dallas and Las Vegas for most improved ratings through 2 games

2. R-E-L-A-X Vikings fans- to steal Aaron Rodgers famous line, Minnesota is 0-2 but could very easily be 2-0, Dalvin Cook rushed for 131 yards against a Cardinals defense that shut down Derrick Henry in Week 1 and Kirk Cousins threw 3 touchdowns and no interceptions, Minnesota was a team I was buying to start the year and their rating is up from the end of last year despite the 0-2 start

3. Top Performers-

Nick Bosa San Francisco- registered 2 sacks helping the 49ers defense shut down Jalen Hurts and the Eagles in a 17-11 win

Dalvin Cook Minnesota- rushed for 131 yards on 22 carries in a losing effort against a Cardinals defense that held Derrick Henry to 58 yards in Week 1

Tom Brady Tampa Bay how can you leave out the 44 year old GOAT who threw 5 touchdowns against the Falcons
