NFL Week 2 delivered drama, upsets, and statement wins. The Philadelphia Eagles edged the Kansas City Chiefs in a Super Bowl rematch, while the Dallas Cowboys outlasted the New York Giants in an overtime thriller. From blowouts to last-second finishes, the week had it all.
Eagles Hand Chiefs Rare 0-2 Start
The Kansas City Chiefs slipped to a surprising 0-2 start after falling 20-17 against the Philadelphia Eagles in a defensive showdown. It marked Patrick Mahomes’ first-ever three-game losing streak and Kansas City’s first 0-2 start since 2014.
The game turned on a crucial play when Travis Kelce bobbled a sure touchdown, allowing Andrew Mukuba to make a stunning interception. Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley scored rushing touchdowns as the Eagles secured their third straight victory over Kansas City.
Philadelphia continues its dominance, winning 17 of its last 18 games, while the Chiefs face urgent questions about their early-season form.
Cowboys Edge Giants in Overtime Classic
In what many already call the game of the season, the Dallas Cowboys edged the New York Giants 40-37 in an overtime thriller. The fourth quarter alone featured five touchdowns, including a spectacular 48-yard strike from Russell Wilson to Malik Nabers.
With 25 seconds left, Brandon Aubrey drilled a 64-yard field goal—the third longest in NFL history—to tie the clash. In overtime, Aubrey sealed the victory with a 46-yarder, making history by hitting decisive field goals at the end of regulation and overtime.
New head coach Brian Schottenheimer hailed the dramatic win as the perfect start to his Cowboys tenure.
Colts Win on Final Kick, Patriots Edge Dolphins
The Indianapolis Colts defeated the Denver Broncos 29-28 thanks to Spencer Shrader’s last-second field goal, earning their first 2-0 start since 2009. Quarterback Daniel Jones impressed again, leading an offense that set an NFL record by scoring on its first 10 possessions of the season.
Meanwhile, Miami hosted one of the wildest sequences of the week: a 74-yard punt return touchdown by Malik Washington was immediately followed by Antonio Gibson’s 90-yard kickoff return score for the New England Patriots. New England eventually won 33-27 in a thrilling contest.
Blowouts, Injuries, and Quarterback Drama
Several contenders flexed their muscles in Week 2. Josh Allen led the Buffalo Bills to a 30-10 blowout of the New York Jets, while Lamar Jackson threw four touchdowns in the Baltimore Ravens’ 41-17 demolition of the Cleveland Browns. Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions exploded for 52 points against the Chicago Bears.
Elsewhere, Aaron Rodgers marked his Pittsburgh Steelers home debut with a milestone 508th touchdown pass, but Seattle spoiled the occasion 31-17. In Cincinnati, Joe Burrow’s toe injury loomed large as backup Jake Browning struggled, though he scored a late winning touchdown.
Other standout results included the Los Angeles Rams overpowering the Tennessee Titans, the Atlanta Falcons shutting down the Minnesota Vikings, and the Arizona Cardinals surviving a late comeback to stay unbeaten.
