‘Easy’ slate results in some surprises, but no splits

The battle for the Surfy hit pause in Week 2. After a crazy opening week filled with uncertainty and a lot of coin-toss matchups, the second week of the season seemed straightforward by comparison. Philly over Tennessee? Duh. Niners in a romp over the Dolphins? Of course. Rams to bounce back against the Giants? Why not? Up and down the card we saw no reason to disagree. And for the most part, we were right.

With Glenn and Sean in complete agreement, Sunday became a day to pop a top, kick back on the sofa, and snooze along to the NawFuL. And at least a few of the favorites snoozed along with us. We’re looking at you, L.A. Chargers. You too, Baltimore. And how about Houston — you’re an early season favorite to make it to the Stupor Bowl and you’re already 0-2 with a loss to the Bengals. But how about those undefeated Raiders? And what about the mighty Bears, who pasted their opponents with 59 points on the road a week ago, only to fall at home to their rival Vikings in a 9-3 battle of field goals while losing their starting QB Caleb Willams on a scramble in the rain.

Chicago wasn’t alone in the injury department. The Giants saw their starter Jaxon Dart go down in the first quarter against the Rams. And the Commanders lost Jayden Daniels. For how long will these teams be without the services of their star players? Well, it’s up to the football gods.

The only action for the GBF crew worth reporting was the Jaguars-Broncos game, which went to the home ponies. Ben was the lone dissenter and he paid the price. But at just three games back in the overall standings after his 10-6 showing for the week, it’s still too early to panic. Sean and Glenn tied for first this week at 11-5, to remain a game apart in the overall standings, the Junior Bro still with the lead.
