Injuries, Surprises & Panic Mode
Week 2 of the NFL season gave us injuries, surprise contenders, struggling favorites, and plenty of reasons to rethink what we thought we knew after Week 1. Caine and Touchdown break down the wave of quarterback injuries involving Jayden Daniels, Caleb Williams, and Jaxson Dart, plus what those injuries could mean moving forward. We also get into the Rams bouncing back in a big way, Josh Allen and the Bills continuing to roll, Patrick Mahomes looking like vintage Mahomes again, and the Raiders starting the season 2-0. Then we put the league’s undefeated teams under the microscope, hit the panic button on the NFL’s 0-2 teams, debate what’s going wrong with Justin Herbert and the Chargers, and figure out which struggling teams still have a chance to turn things around. Finally, it’s time for some accountability: Touchdown takes the early lead in the Caine & Touchdown ATS standings, and we look ahead to some of the biggest matchups coming in Week 3. Who are you buying after two weeks — and which team already has you ready to hit the panic button? Follow Caine & Touchdown for weekly NFL and college football recaps, previews, picks, and plenty of trash talk.
