Previous: . Seattle Seahawks. 6. team. 36. . 2-0

It was another huge outing for quarterback Russell Wilson, who overcame an early pick-six by throwing for 288 yards and five scores – each to a different receiver. Chris Carson also spearheaded a running attack that rolled up 154 yards. In two games this season, the reliable signal-caller has thrown for a combined 610 yards and has almost as many touchdown passes (9) as incompletions (11). Pete Carroll’s club has totaled 75 points in two contests.

2-0. Previous: . Buffalo Bills. 5. team. 16.

The Bills were 5-1 in their last six meetings with the Dolphins and had knocked off Miami three straight times. And Sean McDermott’s squad made it four in a row as Buffalo’s offense rolled up 524 total yards, much of that via the arm of Josh Allen. For the second straight week, he topped the 300-yard passing mark – throwing for 417 yards and four touchdowns without an interception. Stefon Diggs totaled eight receptions for 153 yards and one score.

1-0. Previous: . New Orleans Saints. 4. team. 15.

The club’s 34-23 victory over the Buccaneers in Week 1 was just third by the Saints in a season opener in their last 10 tries. Last Sunday, New Orleans came up with three takeaways (2 interceptions of Tom Brady) in the win over the Bucs. Since 2017, the Saints own an impressive 38-11 regular-season record. Meanwhile, Sean Payton’s team brings an 11-game winning streak vs. NFC teams into their prime time clash with the Raiders at Las Vegas.
