NFL Brief- Week 2

Week 2 brought us some suprises and some great matchups...

Game of the week- Eagles Vs. Cowboys This game was on the menu but should have been treated as monday's special. This entree showed a whole lot of offense, akick return for a TD, lack of Defense, and a rookie mistake of near epic proportions. Terrell Owens stole the show with 3 catches for 89 yards, 2 scores, and a 2 bird flapping endzone taunts as the Cowboys bested the Birds, 41-37. Eagle rookie Desaean Jackson, WR out of Cal showed his age and young arrogance on what looked to be 60 yard TD catch until a Wade Philips red flag showed that the young buc threw the ball out of his hands in celebration before crossing the goal line. Though they scored on the ensuing play, fate was sealed and Dallas became one of only 10 undefeated teams only two games into the season.

Elsewhere- A few upsets this weekend as the Niners beat the Seahawks 33-30 on an overtime field goal. J.T. O'Sullivan looked impressive (yes that wasn't a typo) with an accurate 20-32 day for 321yds and a score. The Reskins upset the saints at home, and the Broncos looked impressive taking down San Diego on a late 2 pt conversion to win 39-38 over a team that in the preseason was looked to win the division if not more.

Week 3 matchups of note-- Pittsburgh at Philadelphia, Jacksonville at Indi, and NFC powers Green Bay head to Cowboy stadium to take on Dallas...
