Eagles Hand Chiefs 0-2 Start as Week 2 Brings Injuries, Do-Over Kick and QB Swings

Early injuries alongside pivotal officiating are already reshaping expectations for several contenders.

Overview

  • Philadelphia edged Kansas City 20-17 in a defensive rematch, with Jalen Hurts’ late rushing TD sealing it as FOX mics caught his NSFW response to Chris Jones’ taunt; the Chiefs played without suspended WR Rashee Rice and sat rookie Xavier Worthy.
  • Cincinnati moved to 2-0 but saw Joe Burrow exit with a left foot injury initially described as turf toe with potential ligament damage, leaving his status a developing concern.
  • Minnesota followed J.J. McCarthy’s debut heroics with a 22-6 loss to Atlanta as the rookie was sacked six times and threw two interceptions, and the Vikings’ injury list grew during the game.
  • Indianapolis beat Denver 29-28 after a Broncos penalty turned a missed 60-yard attempt into a 45-yarder that kicker Spencer Shrader converted as time expired.
  • Russell Wilson threw for 450 yards and three touchdowns, yet the Giants fell 40-37 in overtime to the Cowboys after a late interception set up Brandon Aubrey’s winning 46-yard field goal.
