NFL's Sunday Surprises Week 2

. Last week Edwards showed why the Bills' coaching staff has such confidence in him, finishing the game 19-30 for 215 yards, one touchdown and NO interceptions and 95.8 quarterback rating. This week, Edwards topped that efficient performance, going 20-25 for 239 yards, a touchdown, a quarterback rating of 119.8, and more importantly, another win for Buffalo.

The Jacksonville Jaguars continued the nightmare beginning to their season against Buffalo yesterday. While neither team was able to get much going on the ground, last season's second ranked rushing attack (over 149 yards per game) is currently ranked dead last in the same category with only 33 yards per game. Jaguars' quarterback David Garrard has now thrown three interceptions in only two games this season. He threw only three interceptions ALL OF LAST SEASON.

The Oakland Raiders, coming off an embarrassing loss to the Denver Broncos in Week One, giving up 41 points and allowing 441 yards total offense, bounced back nicely with a win over the Kansas City Chiefs. While the Raiders' defense seemed lost last week, they held the Chiefs to 190 yards of total offense and only eight points. Raiders' second year quarterback JaMarcus Russell completed only six passes on 17 attempts in the game for a grand total of 55 yards. Counting all of Russell's rookie contract(six year deal, potentially worth 68 million dollars), he earned $708,333 for those completions yesterday. What a job!

Green Bay Packer's quarterback Aaron Rodgers hasn't just played well in future Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre's shadow, but has played spectacularly. Completing 70 percent of his passes thus far, he has a quarterback rating of 117.8. That's nearly 13 points higher than Favre.

In Week One's complete re-cap, we also asked the question: "Can each team, each player, and each coach maintain the surprisingly high expectations that come with the Week One accolades?"

For many players and teams the answer was a resounding NO, not in Week Two anyway.

Michael Turner, Reggie Bush, Matt Ryan, Eddie Royal (a good game, but not a match to what he did to the Raiders last week), Drew Brees, and Brett Favre, all were not able to duplicate their Week One performances.

Week Two in the NFL was yet another exciting day of football, with many performances apparently raising the bar even higher for what to expect in the weeks to come.

There are currently nine undefeated teams (there will likely be 10 following tonight's match-up between NFC East Rivals Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys) and 11 winless teams.

Visiting teams were 6-2 in early match-ups yesterday, a bit of a reversal from last when all but one home team won in the early games.

The NFC has a 4-2 advantage in inter-conference play after Week Two of the regular season.

With the Redskin's win over the New Orleans Saints and following tonight's game, the NFC East will be one of only two divisions with NO WINLESS TEAMS, the other division? The NFC South. 

The NFC East has taken over the distinction of the undisputed "BEST DIVISION IN FOOTBALL" with what should be a 6-2 win/loss record after Monday Night.

I can't wait for Week Three, can you?
