50. . . Previous: . Detroit Lions. 6. team

The Lions were able to get a good road win against the Giants in Week 2 to move to 2-0 on the season. On defense, the Lions looked really good, as they punished the Giants’ offense on Monday Night Football. Ezekiel Ansah led the way with a fantastic three-sack performance. With a balanced attack on offense, the Lions cruised to a victory.

. . Previous: . Pittsburgh Steelers. 5. team. 55

The Steelers certainly caught a break in Week 2, as the Vikings were without their starting quarterback. Even so, the Steelers avoided a potential letdown and cruised to their second win of the season. Running back Le’Veon Bell was much more involved in the offense, certainly to the delight of his fantasy owners who were left scratching their heads after Week 1.

124. . . Previous: . Kansas City Chiefs. 4. team

The Chiefs followed up an impressive Week 1 win against the Patriots with another good win against the Eagles. Even without Eric Berry, the Chiefs were able to get their second straight win to start the season. Kareem Hunt continued to be a star on the ground for the Chiefs, as he rushed for two touchdowns in the win. Also, Alex Smith turned in another solid performance.
