Bears 14 Even though the Bears are who we thought they were, Carson Wentz is just the second rookie QB to win a road game at Soldier Field in the last 15 seasons. Jim Kelly indeed. (AP Photo/Nam Y. Huh)

Redskins 23 While Alfred Morris scoring the game-winning touchdown in his return to Landover is so typical Redskins, this is Sunday’s most damning stat of all: Dallas is 2-14 in their last 16 games without Tony Romo. Both wins are at FedEx Field. This is significantly worse than the Cowboys’ lone win in 1990 coming at RFK. (Photo by Patrick Smith/Getty Images)

Browns 20 Baltimore’s 20-point comeback is their second largest in franchise history and has them off to their first 2-0 start since 2009. This was a fitting tribute to the late Clarence Brooks. Memo to Hue Jackson: Cleveland fans may be gluttons for punishment, but they aren’t stupid. The Dawg Pound will never love you if you keep blowing historic leads at home…especially to the old Browns.

Steelers 24 This playoff rematch between division rivals lacked the vitriol we were promised, but not the dramatic result. Pittsburgh continues their dominance over Cincy (5th win in the last six regular season meetings) en route to their first 2-0 start in six years. Don’t be surprised if, like 2010, this is another Super Bowl season. (Photo by Joe Sargent/Getty Images)

Giants 16 This is why we love the NFL. Last year, these two teams played in a 52-49 barnburner. This year, it’s a defensive struggle on a day when Drew Brees made history by passing Dan Marino for 3rd on the career passing yards list. Irony is fun. (Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images)

Panthers 46 Cam Newton’s fourth career 4 TD passing game matches all the previous 4 TD passing games in franchise history. While you wrap your head around that, also consider the reigning MVP might actually be better now that he’s got Kelvin Benjamin back in the lineup. If Benjamin can get a matching hat, this might be the most prolific duo since Vern and Johnny. (AP Photo/Bob Leverone)

Lions 15 Detroit had more penalties (franchise-record 17) than points (15) against a team that has won just four times in the last two years. This is going to be a long season in Motown… (Photo by Stacy Revere/Getty Images)

Patriots 31 If anyone can survive playing two games with their third string QB, it’s New England. But if the Pats win both starts by Jacoby Brissett, I’ll be convinced the NFL we watch is actually Sully from Southie playing Madden. (AP Photo/Charles Krupa)

Texans 19 Houston doesn’t have a problem on defense; J.J. Watt is dominating despite preseason back surgery, Jadeveon Clowney is finally starting to look like the beast they drafted him to be and the Texans’ D hasn’t allowed a touchdown in their last six quarters. Now if they can just get the offense to be decent… (Photo by Scott Halleran/Getty Images)

Rams 9 The Rams won their first game in Los Angeles in 7,987 days but have yet to score a touchdown this season with a QB that sees more dead people than Haley Joel Osment. We can just add that to Pete Carroll’s homecoming embarrassment; his Seahawks are 1-4 against the mediocre Rams since the start of 2014 despite going 22-7 against the rest of the NFL in that span.

Cardinals 40 Now this is the Arizona Cardinals I thought we’d see in 2016. The defense was dominant, Carson Palmer was airing it out and the Cards put together their fifth 40-point game since the start of last season. Don’t count on it being the last this year, either. (AP Photo/Rick Scuteri)

Chargers 38 San Diego has outscored their opponents 42-3 in the first half this season and Blake Bortles has won just one road game in his career. Is it too late to swap my preseason predictions for these teams? (Photo by Sean M. Haffey/Getty Images)

Raiders 28 Reason #287 to move the Black Hole to Las Vegas: Oakland has lost three straight home openers and are just 6-11 at home since 2014. (Photo by Jason O. Watson/Getty Images)

Broncos 34 In the first half, Frank Gore passed Franco Harris to get to 13th place on the NFL’s career rushing list. This is even more impressive when you consider he’s damn near as old as Franco Harris. Denver is 2-0 for the 4th straight season even though some guy named Trevor Siemian is their starting QB. Maybe the Broncos D really is good enough to carry them back to the playoffs (yes, even without Demarcus Ware for a month)… (Photo by Dustin Bradford/Getty Images)

Vikings 17 Minnesota might not be crazy after all…Sam Bradford christened US Bank Stadium by setting a Vikings-record 286 passing yards in a debut performance and made Stefon Diggs his new favorite target (9-for-9, 182 yards, 1 TD when throwing to the former Terp). Depending on the status of Adrian Peterson’s knee, the Vikes seem to still be on track to beat the Pack for the NFC North crown. (AP Photo/Andy Clayton-King)

Bills 31 Even with Darrelle Revis regressing before our eyes (and clearly not doing his homework), Ryan Fitzpatrick got the better of a Rex Ryan defense for just the second time in 10 career meetings. Buffalo scapegoated their offensive coordinator but with Arizona and New England next on the Bills’ docket, we’re about to learn the D is the real problem. (Photo by Brett Carlsen/Getty Images)
