NFL Game-By-Game Recap: Upsets Highlight Week 2

Two weeks down, 15 to go. Week 2 of the 2010 NFL season definitely saw more offense than last week. Week 2 featured some injuries to some fantasy stars who you probably drafted in the first round. Stay tuned with the Bruno Boys all week to check for updates heading into Week 3. Who would have thought the Dallas Cowboys would be 0-2 after the Chicago Bears went into the lone start state and pulled off the upset. Tom Brady hates the New York Jets, but would he be able to pull out the win in the Meadowlands? It was big brother against little brother in the night cap this week - Peyton Manning vs. Eli Manning. Let’s take a look at the fantasy recap of Week 2.

Green Bay Packers 34 vs. Buffalo Bills 7

- After a quiet first half, Aaron Rodgers got going in the second half and finished with 255 yards and two passing touchdowns with one rushing TD.
- The hottest waiver wire pickup this week, Brandon Jackson only mustered 29 yards on 11 carries, although, he did hit paydirt once. Jackson owners need to beware of John Kuhn to vulture goaline TDs.
- Jermichael Finley still doesn’t have a touchdown in two games, but he went over the century mark in yards today. The touchdowns will come.
- Donald Driver scored for the second straight week. The ageless receiver continues to post consistent fantasy numbers.
- Where is C.J. Spiller? In back-to-back weeks, the rookie running back has done an excellent job of performing a disappearing act.
- Fred Jackson and Marshawn Lynch accounted for all of the Bills’ fantasy points. Jackson scored the lone Buffalo touchdown, while Lynch had 64 yards on the ground.

Miami Dolphins 14 at Minnesota Vikings 10

- Brett Favre has finally started to show his age, as he and the Vikings’ receivers struggled again this week. He totaled 225 yards passing with three interceptions and no touchdowns.
- Percy Harvin was supposed to have a major role today, but he missed some time with another injury and he dropped a pass at the goaline.
- Visanthe Shiancoe led Minnesota in receiving again, this time with 86 yards.
- The only reason why the Vikings had a chance of winning this game was the play of Adrian Peterson. AP rushed for 145 yards, had 41 receiving yards and scored a touchdown.
- Ronnie Brown racked up 51 of his 80 yards on one rush, otherwise he was relatively held in check,
- Chad Henne only passed for 114 yards with a TD to Brian Hartline.
- Brandon Marshall had 71 yards receiving, and will face Darrelle Revis next week, as long as Revis is healthy.
