The NFL Roundup Week 2 - The Most Fascinating Games to Watch on Sunday

​Written by John Edward Betancourt

The temperature is beginning to cool, the leaves are starting to change and football is back on the air. It's every football fan's favorite time of year because every Sunday brings us the wonder of the gridiron, with incredible games that take our breath away.   

In fact, it seems as though every single year the games continue to become more competitive and already this year, we've seen some incredibly close and thrilling games, and Week 2 in the NFL kicked off in stunning fashion with a back and forth contest between Buffalo and the New York Jets where it seemed the victor was going to be anybody's guess...at least until the fourth quarter. Either way, tomorrow's slate of games should be equally as spectacular and here are the games that have our attention and should be the most fascinating ones to watch this Sunday.

CINCINNATTI BENGALS AT PITTSBURGH STEELERS

This AFC North matchup ended up being the talk of the 2015 Playoffs when Cincinnati completely became unglued at the worst possible time, earning personal fouls and engaging in on the field scuffles that eventually put Pittsburgh in position to win the game and advance in the Playoffs. Which means that when it comes to tomorrow's matchup, who knows what will go down between these two teams. It's always bad blood between the Bengals and Steelers, but I get the funny feeling that Pittsburgh is going to do everything it can to provoke the Bengals into making more mistakes. Psychology is a big part of this game sometimes and the often cool and collect Steelers would enjoy nothing more than getting the best of their AFC North rivals so that Cincinnati can embarrass themselves on national television once again. 

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS AT DENVER BRONCOS

This looks to perhaps be the most fascinating game of all to watch on Sunday because of the newfound rivalry between both of these teams, since the Colts have been enjoying quite the dominance over the Broncos these past few years, Spoiling Peyton Manning's return to Indy on both occasions and ending Denver's season in the playoffs once as well. They have always figured out a way to shut down Denver's vaunted defense and will no doubt use a similar offensive method to the one that Carolina did last week since the Panthers found a way to slow down the Broncos pass rush. But all of this doesn't necessarily mean that Denver is going to lose this game. The Colts have a porous defense as evidenced by last week's game in Detroit so if QB Trevor Siemian can pass effectively without turnovers this week and keep the ground game going, in addition to the Denver D getting to Andrew Luck...the Broncos may finally turn the tide against the Colts, meaning this one should be a fun one to watch.

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS AT SAN DIEGO CHARGERS

Believe it or not, this game has the potential to feature the most points on the board of any game out of Week 2. Yes, I never thought I would write that when it comes to these two teams but the times they are a changing. Jacksonville showed they can score and score well against Green Bay last week, and in the process showed that they might actually turn out to be a tough team to play in 2016. The Chargers gave Kansas City quite the scare by coming out swinging in last week's game before the Chiefs finally settled down and found a way to beat them. But, despite the possibility of this one becoming a touchdown fiesta, it's going to come down to defense and if the Jaguars stay stout, and Jags QB Blake Bortles finds a way to slice up that Chargers D...Jacksonville might leave San Diego with a big time, confidence building win.

GREEN BAY PACKERS AT MINNESOTA VIKINGS

NFC North games are always a joy to watch, but this one looks to add a little something extra for the fans this week since as of press time, Sam Bradford will get his first start at Quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings come Sunday night and well...talk about a trial by fire. The Packers defense is about as tough as they come and Sam has only had a mere two weeks to assimilate the Vikings offensive playbook. If anything, his start this week will give everyone an idea of how well the man can absorb a new system and if he plays well, it may quell some of the talk that he's nothing more than a journeyman QB who will never be a franchise quarterback, but truth be told. I think we can expect a heavy dose of the Vikings run game in this contest and as for the Packers...well expect them to do what they do best, bring the heat with their pass rush, and score at will.
