Week 2 of the NFL season is upon us, with no shortage of intriguing matchups.
For Colts fans, there is yet another game against a divisional opponent, this time the Houston Texans. This game will be the first matchup between 2nd overall pick C.J Stroud, and 4th overall pick Anthony Richardson. Both teams lost in Week 1, though the Texans struggled more against the Ravens than the Colts did against the Jaguars.
Speaking of the Jaguars, they get a rematch against the team that ended their season in the divisional round of the playoffs last year in the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs are coming off of a difficult loss to the upstart Lions on Opening Night. Star tight end Travis Kelce’s status for the game is still unknown; he missed last week with a hyperextended knee, and his presence was sorely missed by the Chiefs offense.
Finally, following the injury to Aaron Rodgers 4 plays into his Jets debut, all eyes will be on New York as they travel to Dallas to take on the Cowboys, who are coming off of a 40-0 beatdown of the Giants. The Jets will look to prove that there is still hope for this season despite the devastating setback to their quarterback.
