Week 2 brought football on more days with games on Friday through Monday. Tampa Bay started it off by defeating Arizona to put the Southern division in a tangle of 1-1 teams by the end of the week. Denver defeated Oklahoma, a team that might be looking for answers sooner rather than later. Then, Michigan ran their regular season undefeated streak to 20 games by beating Pittsburgh at home.

Sunday featured 5 games, 3 early and 2 in the afternoon evening. In the afternoon games, Chicago, Jacksonville, and Philadelphia all won. Both west coast teams took care of business at home in the late games. On Monday night, San Antonio shocked the league by beating Houston.
