Giants 10 Eli Manning is a lot of things…but Aaron Rodgers he is not. Three years after A-Rod’s famous R-E-L-A-X line, the Giants offense has gone eight straight games without surpassing 20 points and Eli’s answer seems likely to leave Giants fans blue in the face.

Rams 20 This game won’t send any trinkets to Sean McVay’s “I Love Me Room”; Chris Thompson looked like the second coming of Darren Sproles and the ‘Skins continued this interesting trend in the four years of the Jay Gruden Era: Week 1: 0-4 record, scoring 42 points combined. Week 2: 3-1 record, scoring 115 points combined. It’ll be hard to stick with this newfound dedication to the run with Rob Kelley looking likely to miss some time, but this performance has me thinking the ‘Skins have a chance to ball control their way to a primetime upset of the Raiders.

Broncos 42 Lightning struck twice in Denver: Dak Prescott entered this game with only four career interceptions but threw two to the Broncos (including a historic 103-yard Pick 6 to Aqib Talib) and Ezekiel Elliott was held to a career-worst eight yards on nine carries. Not every team has the horses to corral Dallas’ dynamic duo but Denver may have laid the blueprint to keep them in check. By the way…a week after becoming the Cowboys’ all-time leader in receiving yardage, Jason Witten is now the franchise leader in games played at 225. Call me crazy, but all this just shows me is that Witten’s best attribute is unspectacular longevity. (Photo by Justin Edmonds/Getty Images)

Ravens 24 Baltimore is now 6-0 against rookie QBs in the John Harbaugh Era, averaging double digit victories while forcing the rookies into 10 interceptions and allowing just three touchdowns. If that doesn’t impress you, consider the historical context of what this Ravens defense is doing; they just became the second team in the last 25 seasons to record at least five takeaways in each of the first two games of the season and have as many takeaways as points allowed this season (10). This unit is legit but they’d better reschedule that DNA test to see if Baltimore’s offense has what it takes to overcome the loss of Marshall Yanda. (Photo by Rob Carr/Getty Images)

Did Brady find the fountain of youth or simply pick apart a terrible Saints defense? (Photo by Chris Graythen/Getty Images)

Bengals 9 Deshaun Watson celebrated his 22nd birthday by scoring the lone touchdown to win his first NFL start. If he continues to improve, fans may actually want to see the whole game. Meanwhile, Cincinnati’s inability to find their own end zones has them on the verge of some pretty awful history. It’s already cost their offensive coordinator his job and it’s feeling like the beginning of the end of the Marvin Lewis era. (Photo by John Grieshop/Getty Images)
