NFL Schedule Week 2: TV Coverage Map, Start Times and Live-Stream Info

Week 2 of the 2016 regular season still has a hint of that new-football smell for just about every NFL team and fanbase. 

Most dreams have yet to be crushed, and millions all over America still have hope (rational or not) that their squad is in the hunt for a division title or the postseason.

Unless, of course, you pull for the Buffalo Bills, who opened Week 2 with a 37-31 loss to the New York Jets. The next morning, Bills coach Rex Ryan fired his offensive coordinator, Greg Roman.

"I think Greg is an outstanding coach," Ryan told reporters Friday, before deflecting the remaining questions to the future of his team. "We have a terrific coaching staff, and we're going to lean on the expertise of those coaches as well."

Many more losses, and Ryan himself could be the one on the hot seat. That's the nature of modern professional sports, when winning now often trumps patience. And on Sunday, several other teams will be hoping to avoid the 0-2 hole that put this pressure on the Bills.

The rest of the league will be in action, and, as usual, 506 Sports has provided the full coverage maps to tell us when and where every team will be on:

The Games Everyone Can Watch

Green Bay Packers at Minnesota Vikings

After struggling to throw to his own ridiculous standards during the 2015 season, Aaron Rodgers showed flashes of the brilliance fans have come to expect from him against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1.

On a play toward the end of the second quarter, while being pulled to the ground, Rodgers uncorked a dart from around the 35-yard line. The NFL shared video of the throw that few other quarterbacks who've ever played would be capable of:

But Rodgers, who was 20-of-34 with two touchdowns and no interceptions last Sunday, will face what should be a stiffer test against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 2.

According to CBS Sports' Jared Dubin, Minnesota's a foe that Rodgers has struggled with in recent history:

"

(Mike) Zimmer's defenses have held Rodgers to a passer rating almost 15 points lower than his career average, and that's despite being lit up for five touchdowns on only 46 attempts in 2014. His passer rating in the other four games (78.3) is basically equal to the career number posted by EJ Manuel. In order to experience a similar amount of success on Sunday, the Vikes will have to get sterling efforts from their trio of corners. If they're not on the top of their games, Rodgers will make them pay -- just as he did in 2014.

"

With starting corner Xavier Rhodes ruled out for Week 2, per Vikings.com's Zach Royse, those sterling efforts will have to come from Captain Munnerlyn, Trae Waynes and 38-year-old Terence Newman.

"[Receivers] just find open spots, and it's like one guy takes off, the other guy goes this place, and he finds them," Newman said of the Packers' attack, per Vikings.com's Lindsey Young. "That's something that's going to be tough to guard against, because you don't know when it's coming, you don't know where the guys are going to end up at. You just have to try to extend and understand where a guy wants to go."

That's difficult against a quarterback who can extend plays the way Rodgers does. Staying disciplined against him will be a game-long pursuit.

Last Sunday, Carson Wentz became the 12th player in NFL history to attempt at least 10 passes and post a passer rating over 100 in Week 1 of his rookie season.

Now, people all over the NFL are raving about the young signal-caller.

Greg Cosell of Yahoo Sports wrote, "Carson Wentz did things in his Philadelphia Eagles debut that you usually only see from veteran quarterbacks."

"There will be ups and downs, as there are with every young quarterback, but Wentz looked the part in Week 1," wrote ESPN.com's Sheil Kapadia.

The most glowing praise of all, though, came from the Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator, Frank Reich, who compared Wentz to Andrew Luck, per NJ.com's Matt Lombardo:

"

Physically, he reminds me a little bit of a combination of Andrew Luck -- though, I've never played with him -- just watching him play, but a guy that I did play with in Jim Kelly, the size, strength and just the toughness. The mentally tough, physically tough attitude and not being afraid to stand in the pocket and take a hit. I think Carson showed that, having played with Jim Kelly all of those years, a hall of fame quarterback, you don't want those guys to take hits but it is the willingness on fourth and four with guys coming up the middle to make the play to (Zach) Ertz and take the hit because that's what it takes to make the play and keep the drive alive, so those are good signs.

"

Making those kind of plays should be more difficult against any team not named the Cleveland Browns, though. And while no one will mistake the current Chicago Bears defense for some of the legendary units of their past, this group might as well be 11 Brian Urlachers when compared to the Browns.

The talented linebacking duo of Danny Trevathan and Jerrell Freeman will do a much better job of controlling the middle of the field than Cleveland did against Wentz. And cornerback Tracy Porter is more likely to make the young quarterback pay for mistakes.

If Wentz can put together another strong performance—this time against the likes of Trevathan, Freeman and Porter—Eagles fans can really start to run with this new hope.
