Week 2 was highlighted by the New York Jets upsetting the New England Patriots and the opening of Texas Stadium spoiled by a victory from the visiting Giants. How did week two play out for everyone else? Read on…
Lots of intriguing matchups in week two, including the unveiling of Jerry Jones’ new playground on national TV. Strange that Jones didn’t lobby to play a team he thought the Cowboys could beat this time. Anyway, here’s the outlook for this week’s matchups.

Week 1 began with a hard-hitting matchup between the league’s best defenses and ended with a surprise showing from one of the NFL’s most maligned teams this decade. How did your team do?
The NFC West might as well be the NFL’s minor leagues. Despite having talented players, injuries and dismal coaching made the west the laughingstock of the league in 2008.
