Last Saturday morning, most American sportsbooks were reporting an avalanche of betting tickets on LSU as a 3-point road favorite at Ole Miss in Lane Kiffin’s highly anticipated return to Oxford. Naturally, Ole Miss won the game outright. Fast-forward to this week and the pendulum has furiously swung toward the Rebels. They are now the…
Leave it to Matthew Stafford to buck the trend of a league-wide scoring collapse. While most teams saw their scoring totals decline (and I’m looking at you, Chicago), the Los Angeles Rams and Stafford had an incredible bounce-back week against the New York Giants. His four touchdown passes Monday night put him sixth on two…
The stars were out in full force in Week 2, with a couple of familiar faces making strong statements for early consideration for the major awards. Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen had another signature performance to open up the week, while Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams dialed back the clock and was dominant…
What do the Chiefs, Bengals and Josh Allen have in common? They look scary good right now. You know who’s not scaring anyone right now? The Dolphins. After the second week of NFL action in the 2026 season, I’m back with my best and worst superlatives, focusing on three categories: team developments, offensive performances and overall…
Two weeks into the season, a third team sits atop the charts. Honestly, after the Rams fell in Week 1 and the Ravens dropped in Week 2, it seems that the famed SI jinx and Madden curse have nothing on my Power Rankings. Things will get really unsettling if the new No. 1 loses at…
If Week 1 is a liar, Week 2 provided some truth serum for NFL teams — and some probably didn’t like the results. The Green Bay Packers ended a six-game losing streak, but needed overtime to defeat the New York Jets. The defending champion Seattle Seahawks still cruised with starting quarterback Sam Darnold, upping their…
A replay review kept the Indianapolis Colts’ overtime possession alive against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night when it overturned the call that wide receiver Laquon Treadwell had fumbled before the Chiefs went on to beat the Colts 33-30 in overtime. Kansas City had kicked a field goal on the first drive of overtime…
The NFL season doesn’t end after Week 2, but if your favorite team is off to an 0-2 start, it might feel like it’s over. Historically speaking, you have a reason to feel that way, too. In the last 10 years, only 12 of the 84 teams that have lost their first two games have…
The Indianapolis Colts visit the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, Sept. 20, 2026 at 8:20 p.m. ET from Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. Kansas City is 1-0 after a 31-10 win over Denver, while Indianapolis is 0-1 following a 41-23 loss to Baltimore. Kansas City’s opener ran through the ground game. Kenneth Walker carried…
NFL offenses were literally too busy scoring in Week 1 for coaches to have much time for scoreboard watching, but the final numbers were unexpectedly high. A whopping 791 points, or a combined 49.4 per game, were scored in Week 1, matching the most for any Week 1 in the Super Bowl era. “I was…
