As quickly as it began, week 2 in the NFL is over and done with. Just like week 1, week 2 was chalked full of great football, highlight reel plays, and big wins for many teams. Let's take a look at who won in week 2:
Winning team in red text
Buffalo Bills VS Green Bay Packers
Results: The Bills could get little offense going in their game against the Packers. The Packers on the other hand were churning on all cylinders as Rodgers 2 Touchdowns led them to a week 2 win.
Analysis: Buffalo's offense has yet to find any sort of identity, and the lack of Quarterback play hurts them yet again this week as Trent Edwards was comatose in his production, tossing two interceptions.
Miami Dolphins VS Minnesota Vikings
Results: Miami won a close game against the Vikings as they forced 3 interceptions from Brett Favre.
Analysis: The Dolphins grinded out a win over Minnesota, relying primarily on their run game. The Dolphins defense played well as they picked off 3 of Brett Favre's passes. The Vikings offense just hasn't been efficient enough yet this year, they were only 1/5 in the red zone.
Kansas City Chiefs VS Cleveland Browns
Results: Kansas City edged out a close win against Cleveland, in route to a 2-0 start.
Analysis: Neither QB in this game looked stellar, as Matt Cassell threw two interceptions, and Seneca Wallace 1. The Chiefs relied on their run game the most, as Thomas Jones led the team in rushing yards with 83. They also returned an interception for a touchdown.
Chicago Bears VS Dallas Cowboys
Results: Jay Cutler lead the Chicago Bears to their second victory of the year over the Dallas Cowboys.
Analysis: For the second week in a row, Dallas has not lived up to expectations. They have trouble getting any sort of run game going, and to make matters worse, Tony Romo threw two interceptions. Dallas's passing game with Miles Austin lived up to potential, but a lack of run game, defensive power, and the ability to finish out a game, is hurting them.
Arizona Cardinals VS Atlanta Falcons
Results: The Falcons found their offensive firepower in week 2 as they destroyed the helpless cardinals, bouncing back from their week 1 loss to Pittsburgh.
Analysis: The Falcons exceeded in every aspect of the game, having Matt Ryan throw for 3 TDs, team rushing totals over 220 yards, and the defense forcing 3 interceptions.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers VS Carolina Panthers
Results: Josh Freeman led the Bucs to their second win of the season, throwing two touchdown passes.
Analysis: The Buccaneers took advantage of the quarterback miscues of Carolina and their 2 interceptions, to get a win this weekend. Tampa Bay's defense played well, keeping the Panthers to only one touchdown all game.
Philadelphia Eagles VS Detroit Lions
Results: The Eagles held on to their lead late in the game and survived a 4th quarter surge by Detroit to grab the win.
Analysis: Michael Vick looked good in his starting role in the Eagles offense as he led them to beat the Lions. Even in defeat, Detroit showed lots of potential, primarily in rookie running back Jahvid Best, who had staggering numbers in the game ( 9 Rec for 154 yards & TD, 78 rushing yards & 2 TDs).
Baltimore Ravens VS Cincinnati Bengals
Results: The Bengals won a close game against their division rivals, using primarily their defense ironically to win the game.
Analysis: Against the Ravens stout defense, the Bengals subsisted on 5 Field Goals to win them the game. But the real deciding factor was their ability to pick off Ravens Qb Joe Flacco 4 times.
Pittsburgh Steelers VS Tennessee Titans
Results: The Steelers used their formidable defense to dismantle the Titans and improve to 2-0
Analysis: In an odd victory, subsisting solely on their ability to terrorize the Titans offense, and Vince Young, the Steelers only had about 40 yards of passing. They were capable though of demolishing Vince Young so thoroughly that after throwing two interceptions, he was benched for Kerry Collins. Shutting down superstar Chris Johnson also insured victory for Pittsburgh.
Seattle Seahawks VS Denver Broncos
Results: The Broncos forced 3 Matt Hasselbeck interceptions and their offense churned towards a week 2 win.
Analysis: Seattle's offense looked far worse then in week 1, as did their defense. Denver bounced back from a week 1 loss to Jacksonville, to rout Seattle in week 2. Demaryius Thomas made his rookie debut and hauled in a TD pass from Kyle Orton.
St. Louis Rams VS Oakland Raiders
Results: Oakland struggled early, but won a close game against St. Louis.
Analysis: Jason Campbell struggled for Oakland, which led to them putting in Bruce Gradkowski who revived the offense. Darren McFadden was on point again this week, rushing for 145 yards in the victory. Oakland struggled in the red zone, going 1/4, and St. Louis had problems with their ability to convert third downs, only making it a measly 20% of the time.
Houston Texans VS Washington Redskins
Results: In perhaps the most exciting game of the weekend, the Texans rallied to come back from a large deficit, prompting overtime in which they kicked the game winning field goal.
Analysis: In a game for the stat books, both QBs were on point, Schuab passing for 497 yards and Mcnabb for 426. This was Houston's first overtime win in franchise history and it helped them extend their record to 2-0 on the season.
New England Patriots VS New York Jets
Results: The Jets Mark Sanchez has a flawless performance as he helped them bounce back from their week 1 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Sanchez struggled last week against the Ravens, but seemed to find his groove and threw for three touchdowns this weekend. The defense also won the turnover battle as they forced Brady into making mistakes, and picked him off twice.
Jacksonville Jaguars VS San Diego Chargers
Results: San Diego routed Jacksonville in a big bounce back from a disappointing weak 1 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: In a game that we saw 6 interceptions total, unfortunately for the Jaguars, four of them were from David Garrard. Jacksonville simply could not get much going offensively, or do much to get in the way of Philip Rivers and the Chargers offense.
Indianapolis Colts VS New York Giants
Results: The Colts bounced back from a disappointing loss to division rival Houston, to demolish the Giants on Sunday night.
Analysis: In a mere week, Indianapolis seemed to have improved on every side of the ball. They were running it well, their defense (specifically pass defense) was stellar, and the older Manning tossed 3 touchdowns while leading his team towards an easy win.
New Orleans Saints VS San Fransisco 49ers
Results: The Super Bowl champs improved to 2-0 with a hard fought win over San Fransisco on Monday night.
Analysis: 49ers Qb Alex Smith played excellent in the first half, and nearly came away with the victory late in the game. Unfortunately the Saints wanted no part of overtime, and Brees led the march down the field for the game winning FG.
Week 2 Picks: 10 - 6
Results: Houston used their running game to wear down the Indianapolis team as they received their first win of the season against their long time division rival. 
Results: The Jaguar offense looked good as they put up three touchdowns threw the air and put down the Broncos in week one. 
Results: While both Quarterbacks seemed to make a lot of mistakes, having thrown for 3 interceptions each, Eli Manning made up for it with 3 touch down passes and gained the win for the Giants.
Baltimore Ravens VS New York Jets
The Miami Dolphins have been up and down the past few seasons, but their level of talent remains very real. What will surprise people most is their ability to clash with and possibly win the division over a very good Jets team. The running back corp (when healthy) is one of the best in the league, made up of Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams (they were 4th in the league rushing last year). They have the ability to be a run heavy offense and have great sucess this way. The biggest questions come from their passing game and defense. If Chad Henne can step up, continue to improve, and manage the game as well as Chad Pennington did recently, then this team can do great things. Luckily for Henne, Miami managed to snag one of the best wide receivers in the league in Brandon Marshall. This signing is HUGE for Miami's offense as it presents a go to guy and #1 big play WR for Henne right away. The defense is going to have to support them though (they were 22nd overall last year), and the rookie selection Jared Odrick and signing of Karlos Dansby should help their cause immensely.
