Week 2 Monday Review: After the Veterans Blew Up Week 1, The Rookie Receivers Strike Back!

September 16, 2024

Hello There!

In Week 2 of the 2024 season, the action ramped up considerably compared to what we were given in the opening week of the season. Even though things were not perfect, it did look like most teams actually had a clue what they were trying to accomplish on offense during the second week’s slate of games. Whether it was Week 1 jitters or rust that plagued teams last week, we should just be happy that we will not have to deal with another NFL Week 1 for a full calendar year.

After succumbing to the Dark Side — and a considerable amount of pessimism — concerning the performances in Week 1, this week’s column will (mostly) be about hope. With multiple players not living up to expectations in Week 1 — or even Year 1 — things started to take a turn for the better on Sunday. Using our own version of the Force — the Monday Review tool — let’s hit the hyper drive and dive into all of the action from Sunday’s slate of games.

This is where the fun begins!
