NFL Week Two: Steelers Look To Roll Through The Bengals
In this week’s NFL matchups, rivalries are alive and payback is on some players minds.
With two playoff rematches, and teams looking to prove that they’re the real deal, these are the game to watch in week two of the NFL season.
Bengals (1-0) at Steelers (1-0)
Both these teams squared off in an unforgettable AFC Wild Card matchup. On the other hand, the Cincinnati Bengals hope to erase that embarrassing playoff loss and pay it forward facing the Steelers. Pittsburgh looked impressive in last weeks win over the Washington Redskins, making this a game that will answer the question: “Are the Steelers Super Bowl favorites?”. The Bengals have payback on their minds. Last years playoff was without quarterback Andy Dalton. With Dalton back this could mean a win at Pittsburgh.

Chiefs (1-0) at Texans (1-0)
Kansas City rolled through the Texans in last years playoff loss. It was a 30 – 0 beat down by the hands of the Chief, which had Texans fans pleading for a new quarterback. The outcome could change this time around, as the Texans seem to have their quarterback in Brock Osweiler. Houston has also added a few weapons to the offensive attack to challenge the Chiefs defense.

Seahawks (1-0) at Rams (0-1)
Todd Gurley has already guaranteed a win for his L.A. Rams, this could be true due to Russell Wilsons’ injury. Wilson suffered a high ankle sprain against the Miami Dolphins last week, yet the Seahawks pulled away with a sloppy win. The Rams are coming off an embarrassing loss to the 49ers, but this doesn’t dismiss L.A.’s pieces to be a top defensive team. This NFL matchup is definitely a must watch.

49ers (1-0) at Panthers (0-1)
The San Francisco 49ers are on a high right now, after defeating the Rams 28 – 0. The Panthers are coming off a close game against the reigning Super Bowl champions, the Denver Broncos. The 49ers will be facing another top defense in the league, but this could prove to be too much with Cam Newton poised to bounce back from last weeks loss.
