Best NFL highlights from Week 2: Evans, Gronk and more

Week 1 of the NFL regular season gave us some great highlights and Week 2 did not seem to disappoint. Here are the best highlights of the week.

If there’s anything better than Week 1 of the NFL season, it’s Week 2. Last week we saw some fantastic highlights and we are back again to show what Week 2 has in store.

Spoiler alert: it did not disappoint.

10. Mike Evans tip toes for the touchdown

Due to the events of Hurricane Irma, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers missed out on the Week 1 festivities. This gave them an extra week to prepare for their first game against the Chicago Bears. So far, it looks like things are just fine.

On a first down and knocking on the door to end zone, Jameis Winston found his favorite target for the first touchdown of the day. And what a grab it was by Mike Evans. Covered tight by Marcus Cooper Sr., Evans tiptoed in the end zone to make the fantastic touchdown catch.

It was all Bucs on the day as they completely dominated the Bears 29-7. It’s just one week, but they look like a dangerous team that could make some noise in the NFC come playoff time.

9. Gronk is still too good

You remember all of those concerns about the Patriots from Week 1? Well, those seem to be over. The reigning Super Bowl champs seemed just fine against the New Orleans Saints. Tom Brady threw for over 300 yards and three touchdowns in the first half, including this 53-yard touchdown catch by Rob Gronkowski.

The Saints defense, which we knew wasn’t very good in the first place, completely blew the coverage on the pass. Brady got out of the pocket and found a wide open Gronkowski on the run. With one defender to beat, Gronkowski won that battle and walked his way into the end zone.

Gronk did leave the game with a groin injury, but he’s got the great touchdown to go along with an impressive performance. The Patriots had no problem today coming away with the 36-20 victory.
