Several of the NFL’s top scoring teams from the first week of the season are playing in the early slate in Week 2, and there are a couple of matchups that could see playoff contenders jockeying for early position in the NFC.
Coming off a 47-10 drubbing of the Carolina Panthers, the New Orleans Saints head to Dallas to play the Cowboys who made short work of the Cleveland Browns in Week 1, wining 33-17.
Also the Detroit Lions, fresh of winning an overtime thriller over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday Night Football, host the Tampa Buccaneers. Baker Mayfield threw for a league-best four touchdown passes in a Week 1 win over the Commanders. The two teams met last January in a divisional-round playoff game that the Lions won.
Here’s a look at the Week 2 slate of games:
