The second week of the 2023 NFL season is in the books, and it comes with a few surprises.
The Los Angeles Chargers are starting off 0-2 despite the incredible performances in back-to-back weeks from Justin Herbert. The star quarterback has 534 passing yards and three touchdown passes in his first two games, but the Chargers cannot seem to end their days with a victory.
The Dallas Cowboys moved to 2-0 with a defeat of the New York Jets on Sunday and entered an interesting club. The Cowboys are the fifth team since the merger to score at least 70 points and allow 10 or fewer points in their first two games of the season.
Dallas won 30-10 over the Jets and 40-0 over the New York Giants in Week 1.
The Giants avoided an 0-2 start with a comeback victory over the Arizona Cardinals. There were nine games between Thursday and Sunday that were settled by one score or less.
Let’s see how the week played out.
