Any given Sunday, anything can happen in the most balanced championship in the world. Especially at the beginning of the tournament. And so here we are, recounting the first sensational surprises with top teams losing their pace and outsiders proposing themselves with touchdowns.
This is the case of the Saints, unleashed devils in this early season. Two games, two victories, over 40 points in both games. And if the first test counts relatively, given the weakness of the opponent, the Panthers, really embarrassing so far, the second one lists them as a hyper competitive team and capable of anything.
In the temple of the Cowboys they have been rampaging and raging with a Kamara who seems rejuvenated, untouchable on the ground and in the air: poker of touchdowns, three rushing, one reception and the ability to get out of seemingly dead-end situations with the simplicity of a true champion.
The New Orleans team raises its voice and demands a seat at the big table with a highly motivated Derek Carrwho in this second year with the Saints seems to have the leadership of the group firmly in his grasp.
Bad, on the other side, Dallas. And of course there is controversy over the very rich contract renewal of its quarterback, Dak Prescottwhose ability to drag the glorious franchise to the coveted Super Bowl is increasingly doubted by specialists and fans. It doesn’t work well in Dallas: even the defense, a bugbear for any o-line, has been overwhelmed by the New Orleans cyclone. Adjustments are needed everywhere.
Raise your hand if you expected the Vikings to start with two wins out of two with, leading the offense, Sam Darnold…No hands raised? Here you are served with the second consecutive w even at the expense of the battleship 49ers…
Agreed, one of the best receivers ever plays for Minnesota, Jeffersonwho yesterday made a TD from over 90 yards; granted, San Francisco was missing a running champion, McCaffreyout due to injury; but it’s not enough to explain the Californians’ defeat, nor are they distant disappearances from a team capable of both dominating a match and quickly recovering. Purdy intercepted, blunt attack. But SF has the talent to immediately erase this terrible experience.
Some coaching staff blunders help the Bucs – watch out for Tampa, they are motivated and have a great desire to surprise – to defeat the Lions in Detroit. Bad Goffintercepted twice and the attack suddenly anemic and unable to turn the match around in the final quarter which ended without any scores.
Below are the other results (in capital letters those who played at home) where the new defeat of the Ravens and the last-gasp victory of the world champions, the Chiefs, stand out (here too, a worrying zero in the wins box for the Bengals). Burrow). It’s too early to draw conclusions, but there are some new indications…we’ll see.
