Highlights to Look Forward to

Buccaneers @ Lions – 1:00 p.m. ET

Both the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Detroit Lions are coming off strong season openers. The Bucs are riding high with Baker Mayfield at the helm, who seems to be in the form of his life after a triumphant season last year and a commanding Week 1 victory over the Washington Commanders. “This is one of those…measuring stick games,” Mayfield stated to reporters this week, as they gear up to face an NFC heavyweight team like the Lions.

Detroit, not to be outdone, showcased their rugged, ground-focused gameplay in a nail-biting overtime win against the Rams. Dan Campbell's squad is pushing to not just meet but exceed the expectations they set last year. Could this be the Lions’ year to roar all the way to the Super Bowl?

Bengals @ Chiefs – 4:25 p.m. ET

Talk about a clash of titans! Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes continue their high-stakes rivalry, which dates back to the 2021 AFC Championship game. Although Burrow has had the upper hand against Mahomes in personal matchups (3-1), Mahomes boasts a seemingly ever-growing collection of Super Bowl rings and MVP titles. Week 2 will tell if Burrow can bounce back after a dismal Week 1 performance against the New England Patriots, where he went 21-of-29 for just 164 yards without a touchdown or interception. “There starts to become trends here and there…I learn a lot from my mistakes,” he noted after practice this Wednesday.

Bears @ Texans – 8:20 p.m. ET

The spotlight shines on Sunday's prime-time game featuring the Chicago Bears and Houston Texans. This matchup is significant for both teams: the Bears are breaking in their rookie quarterback Caleb Williams, who managed to eke out a win against Tennessee despite a bumpy debut. On the other side, CJ Stroud and the Texans are off to a flying start, thanks largely to newcomer Joe Mixon, who rushed for 159 yards and a touchdown in Week 1. Mixon’s debut performance even earned him AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors. “Every time he touches the ball, he’s making plays,” said Texans wide receiver Nico Collins. Both teams have a lot riding on this game, with Chicago looking for progress and Houston eyeing the playoffs.
