Preview: Atlanta at Dallas.

The Dallas Cowboys are off to a 2-0 start but each of their wins have come with a heavy price. Star wide receiver Dez Bryant suffered a broken bone in his foot in the season opener and quarterback Tony Romo fractured a collarbone in last week's win for the Cowboys, who will face another unbeaten team when the Atlanta Falcons pay a visit Sunday afternoon.

“They were tough blows losing both of those guys, obviously,” Dallas tight end Jason Witten said. “You don’t replace guys like that. It does create opportunity and I’m confident guys are going to step in. this team will rally around that.” Brandon Weeden stepped in after Romo was hurt and completed all seven pass attempts in a 20-10 victory at Philadelphia last weekend. Atlanta will be attempting to make it three straight wins over NFC East opponents after outlasting the Eagles in Week 1 and erasing a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit in a 24-20 victory at the New York Giants last week. “We won’t look too far ahead," first-year coach Dan Quinn said. "We’re trying to stay in the present and continue to battle for wins every week."

TV: 1 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Falcons -1. O/U: 45

ABOUT THE FALCONS (2-0): Wideout Julio Jones has been limited in practice this week due to a sore hamstring, but he has been unstoppable in the first two games, scoring twice while tying to the league lead with 22 receptions and ranking second with 276 yards. Quarterback Matt Ryan threw for 363 yards in last week's win over the Giants and will likely be without starting rookie running back Tevin Coleman (ribs), meaning an increased workload for backfield mate Devonta Freeman. The Falcons were the league's worst team against the pass in 2014, giving up an average of 279.9 yards, and they have already been gouged for 313.5 yards per game this season.

ABOUT THE COWBOYS (2-0): Dallas turned in a superb performance in limiting Philadelphia to 226 yards of total offense and seven yards rushing behind a 14-tackle effort from linebacker Sean Lee, who was named the NFC's Defensive Player of the Week. The Cowboys swung a deal with Buffalo to acquire quarterback Matt Cassel to back up Weeden, a former first-round pick with Cleveland who will make his first start since throwing a pair of interceptions for Dallas in a loss to Arizona last November. Owner Jerry Jones wants to see improvement from a running game that has been average at best, with Joseph Randle leading the way with 116 yards on 34 carries.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Witten is dealing with a pair of sprained ankles and an ailing knee for Dallas, which is 2-0 for the first time since 2008.

2. Jones has 54 receptions for 889 yards and four TDs in his last six games.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Preview: Indianapolis at Tennessee.


After falling to a pair of AFC East teams, the Indianapolis Colts will try their luck within their own division when they visit the AFC South rival Tennessee Titans on Sunday afternoon. Speaking of luck, Andrew Luck tossed three of his five interceptions in Indianapolis' 20-7 setback to the New York Jets on Monday to remain winless after two weeks for the second straight season.

"My play, turning the ball over, fumbles, interceptions, it's a pretty glaring issue," said Luck, who threw for 393 yards and four touchdowns in a 41-17 rout of Tennessee on Sept. 28. A date with the Titans should provide some comfort for the Colts, who have won seven in a row versus their division rival and 12 of the last 13 meetings. Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota will receive his first taste of AFC South play, as the second overall pick came back to earth following a scintillating four-touchdown performance in the season opener with two fumbles in a 28-14 loss to Cleveland. When asked how he can improve, Mariota matter-of-factly stated that he needed to "keep two hands on the football."

TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Colts -3.5. O/U: 45

ABOUT THE COLTS (0-2): Coach Chuck Pagano failed to hide his displeasure after Luck's latest performance, telling reporters that "he's got to take care of the football. It's not that hard. It's not trigonometry." The math also is not adding up for Frank Gore (23 carries, 88 yards), who was acquired in the offseason to give the backfield some much-needed punch. The veteran nearly knocked out his own team with a costly goal-line fumble on Monday for Indianapolis, which has rushed for just 157 yards - good enough for 26th in the league.

ABOUT THE TITANS (1-1): Mariota has connected with 11 different [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]receivers[/FONT] this season, with Kendall Wright and tight end Anthony Fasano leading the way with just six catches. Wright scored a touchdown and rolled up 101 yards in Tennessee's season-opening 42-14 triumph over Tampa Bay, but was limited to just two catches versus Cleveland. Second-year running back Bishop Sankey rushed for 74 yards and a score last week, but was held to just 52 yards rushing in two meetings with the Colts in 2014.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Following Sunday's tilt, Indianapolis can right the ship with dates against division rivals Jacksonville and Houston before hosting New England in a rematch of last season's AFC Championship Game.

2. Six Tennessee players have at least one touchdown reception this season, more than any other team in the league.

3. Colts WR Donte Moncrief leads the team in receptions (13) and receiving touchdowns (two), but had just five catches for 30 yards in two meetings with the Titans in 2014.

Preview: Oakland at Cleveland.

[h=3]The Cleveland Browns turn back to Josh McCown as they search for their second consecutive victory when they host the Oakland Raiders on Sunday. Cleveland posted a 28-14 triumph over Tennessee last week behind Johnny Manziel, who threw two touchdown passes for the first time in his brief career as McCown was sidelined with a concussion.

McCown will be attempting to get the Browns off to their best start since 2011 as he faces the team for which he started nine games in 2007. Oakland is looking to post back-to-back victories for the first time since October 2012 after rallying for a 37-33 win over Baltimore in Week 2. Derek Carr returned from a hand injury suffered in the season opener and threw for a career-high 351 yards, including a game-winning 12-yard TD pass to Seth Roberts with 26 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. The Raiders will need to be stingier on defense if they hope to make it two in a row, as they have surrendered a league-high 889 yards through two games.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Browns -3.5. O/U: 42

ABOUT THE RAIDERS (1-1): One of the reasons Oakland has given up 653 yards through the air is the fact it hasn't registered a sack. But defensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr. is not concerned. "You can't worry about the sacks, they come in bunches," he told the team's website. "Just keep your fundamentals, keep working really hard and keep your discipline, and things are going to happen."

ABOUT THE BROWNS (1-1): Travis Benjamin is coming off a tremendous performance against Tennessee that helped earn him Special Teams Player of the Week honors. He returned six punts for 154 yards - including a 78-yard touchdown - and made three catches for 115 yards, with scoring receptions of 60 and 50 yards. Benjamin - who won the award for the third time in his career - also had a 54-yard TD catch in the season opener, making him the first player with four 50-yard scores in the first two weeks of a campaign since Jim Brown in 1963.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Browns LB Armonty Bryant was nominated for AFC Defensive Player of the Week after recording 2.5 sacks and six tackles while also forcing a fumble.

2. Oakland has lost 11 straight and 19 of its last 20 on the road.

3. Cleveland DE Desmond Bryant is questionable to face his former team due to a shoulder injury.

Preview: Cincinnati at Baltimore.


The Cincinnati Bengals look to continue their strong start at the expense of a division rival when they visit the struggling Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. Cincinnati, which sits atop the AFC North as one of nine undefeated teams in the NFL, is hoping to open at 3-0 for the second straight season after posting a 24-19 victory over San Diego in Week 2.

The Bengals have an emerging potential star in tight end Tyler Eifert, who has 13 receptions for 153 yards and three touchdowns - one behind New England's Rob Gronkowski for the league lead. On the other end of the spectrum is Baltimore, which has begun the season with two losses for the first time since 2005 and looks to avoid the first 0-3 start in franchise history. The Ravens were 26 seconds away from victory last week before allowing a go-ahead touchdown en route to a 37-33 loss at Oakland. Baltimore enters Week 3 as one of nine winless teams in the league but remains hopeful of turning things around, as 24 clubs have qualified for the postseason after starting 0-2 since the current playoff format was instituted in 1990.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Ravens -3. O/U: 44.5

ABOUT THE BENGALS (2-0): Andy Dalton and Giovani Bernard both were nominated for the AFC Offensive Player of the Week Award, as the former passed for 214 yards and three touchdowns while the latter gained 139 yards from scrimmage - 123 on the ground. Dalton owns a 42-23-1 regular-season record for a .640 winning percentage, the highest of any quarterback who has started at least 20 games for the franchise. A.J. Green, who has caught a touchdown pass in three straight contests against Baltimore, needs one 100-yard performance to pass Isaac Curtis (20) for second place on the franchise list.

ABOUT THE RAVENS (0-2): Visiting Baltimore in September has not been a pleasant experience of late. Joe Flacco has been nearly unbeatable at home in the month, guiding the Ravens to a 13-1 record. Baltimore attempted to upgrade its secondary after allowing 351 yards through the air against Oakland, acquiring cornerback Will Davis from Miami for a seventh-round pick in the 2016 draft. To make room on the roster, the Ravens released running back Terrence Magee.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Dalton enters Week 3 as the only quarterback in the league who has started each of his team's first two games and has yet to be sacked or throw an interception.

2. Baltimore WR Steve Smith, Sr. raised his career receptions total to 927 last week, moving ahead of Torry Holt (920) for 17th on the all-time list.

3. The Bengals have won three straight meetings with the Ravens.

Preview: Jacksonville at New England.


Tom Brady is 38 years old and coming off an offseason during which he was forced to spend nearly as much time protecting his reputation as he was preparing for the campaign. None of that was evident in the first two weeks for Brady, who will try to continue his hot start when the New England Patriots host the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.

Brady has yet to throw an interception in a league-high 91 pass attempts and threw for seven touchdowns in leading the Patriots to wins over Pittsburgh and Buffalo to begin the campaign. “He has high expectations and high goals for himself,” New England offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels told reporters. “He knows that it's going to take a tremendous amount of work to continue performing at the level that he wants to play at, and he deserves a lot of credit for that.” Jaguars second-year quarterback Blake Bortles does not boast the career resume of Brady but is playing with some confidence after coming off a turnover-free performance in a win over Miami. Jacksonville is looking to post back-to-back victories for the first time since a three-game winning streak bridged November and December in 2013.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Patriots -13.5. O/U: 47.5

ABOUT THE PATRIOTS (2-0): While Brady has the offense humming along in high gear, the defense has been more effective than expected in the early going. Forced to switch tactics after watching cornerbacks Darrelle Revis and Brandon Browner leave during the offseason, New England is loaded along the front seven and has recorded an NFL-best 11 sacks over the first two weeks. Chandler Jones (three sacks) and Jamie Collins (2.5) will have their sights set on Bortles while Malcolm Butler, Duron Harmon and Logan Ryan, who combined for three interceptions in a win at Buffalo last week, patrol the passing lanes.

ABOUT THE JAGUARS (1-1): Bortles could be missing one of his biggest weapons with running back Denard Robinson (knee) questionable, but rookie T.J. Yeldon is ready to step up. The Alabama product took on the extra workload with 25 carries in last week’s 23-20 triumph over Miami and managed 75 yards. "(Yeldon) can turn a negative-yardage play into a couple-yard gain, and a couple-yard gain into a seven- or eight-yard gain," coach Gus Bradley told reporters. "It's great to see him with the limited reps that he had in preseason to come out and perform like he's doing. Our hope is he only gets better.”

EXTRA POINTS

1. Brady needs one more TD pass to become the fourth QB in NFL history with at least 400 (Peyton Manning, Brett Favre, Dan Marino).

2. Ryan (shoulder) and New England LB Dont’a Hightower (shoulder) both were limited in practice on Wednesday.

3. Jacksonville G Brandon Linder (shoulder) and T Luke Joeckel (ankle) both are questionable.

Preview: Philadelphia at N.Y. Jets.

Chip Kelly's offense will be under the gun when the Philadelphia Eagles visit the New York Jets on Sunday in a battle of teams headed in different directions. The Eagles are off to an 0-2 start, have struggled mightily on offense and those problems could be compounded if running back DeMarco Murray is unable to play in the crucial contest.

Murray pulled a hamstring on Wednesday and is listed as questionable for what will be a tough task against the powerful Jets defense. On Monday, New York shut down Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts to move to 2-0 and it could have a field day against the Eagles, who are last in the NFL in rushing with just 70 yards in two games. "If we can't run the football we're not going to win many games," Kelly said. One positive for the Eagles is they are 9-0 all-time against the Jets.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Jets -2.5. O/U: 46.

ABOUT THE JETS (2-0): Todd Bowles has even the most pessimistic New York fans believing after Monday night's 20-7 dominant performance against Luck and the Colts. Paced by defensive back Darrelle Revis, the Jets turned the Colts over five times in a victory but Revis, who accounted for three of those turnovers, appeared on the injury list with a groin pull suffered during this week's practice. Ryan Fitzpatrick, who will remain the starter even when Geno Smith returns, has thrown four touchdown passes but running back Chris Ivory is questionable with a groin injury of his own.

ABOUT THE EAGLES (0-2): Philadelphia was miserable in last week's 20-10 loss against the Cowboys, gaining just seven yards on the ground. Even if Murray plays, he's been ineffective in netting 11 yards on 21 carries in two games after leading the NFL in rushing last season. Sam Bradford has admitted to frustration and has looked lost in Kelly's spread offense, throwing four interceptions in the first two games with a quarterback ranking of 72.3, which ranks 31st out of the 34 quarterback who have made a start this season.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Philadelphia last started a season 0-3 in 1999.

2. Jets WR Eric Decker, who had eight catches Monday night, is questionable with a knee injury.

3. Jets WR Brandon Marshall needs 65 yards to become the 45th player with 10,000 career receiving yards.

Preview: Tampa Bay at Houston.


Fresh off earning his first NFL win last week, No. 1 overall pick Jameis Winston now gets the pleasure of going up against J.J. Watt, 2014 No. 1 pick Jadeveon Clowney and Vince Wilfork. Winston will try to avoid one of the best defensive lines in the league when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers visit the Houston Texans on Sunday.

"I have tremendous confidence, but it's still a privilege for me just thinking like a kid, not even thinking about going against him,” Winston told reporters. “I'm just like, 'Wow, we get to play J.J. Watt.'” Winston shook off a disappointing debut in Week 1 by being more efficient in the win at New Orleans last week, completing 14-of-21 passes for 207 yards and a touchdown without an interception. "You want to rattle him,” Watt told reporters of the plan against Winston. “You want to lay some hits on him. You want to get him off the spot. You want to get him feeling your presence early in the game.” The Texans could use some of that intimidation as they attempt to avoid falling into an 0-3 hole.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Texans -6.5. O/U: 40.5

ABOUT THE BUCCANEERS (1-1): Winston has been sacked seven times and lost a fumble in two games, but the offensive line is confident it can protect the young quarterback against Watt and company. “We have a plan,” right tackle Gosder Cherilus told reporters. “Hopefully, the plan will be good enough. If it’s not, we’re going to have to do what we’ve got to do. That’s the game – show up, be at your best, and hopefully your best will be good enough.” An improvement from a rushing attack that has produced one touchdown – by Winston – would help as well.

ABOUT THE TEXANS (0-2): Running back Arian Foster (groin) returned to practice but is unlikely to make his season debut this week, and the Texans really could use his contribution after averaging 79.5 yards on the ground in the first two weeks. The lack of a rushing threat puts more pressure on quarterback Ryan Mallett, who is expected to get his second straight start after supplanting Brian Hoyer. Mallett needed 58 pass attempts to reach 244 yards at Carolina last week, and coach Bill O’Brien believes the Arkansas product will get better with more experience.

EXTRA POINTS

1. The Texans are playing their first home game since switching the field at NRG Stadium from natural grass to an artificial surface for the remainder of the season.

2. Tampa Bay TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins (shoulder) could miss the next four-to-six weeks.

3. Houston T Duane Brown (thumb) sat out last week and is questionable for Sunday.

Preview: San Diego at Minnesota.


After being gashed for 175 rushing yards last week, the San Diego Chargers will try to rid themselves of bad memories when they visit the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. Adrian Peterson trampled the then-Norv Turner-led Chargers for an NFL single-game rushing record of 296 yards with three touchdowns in their last visit to Minnesota in 2007.

Fast forward back to 2015 and Peterson moved past a small workload in the season opener to erupt for 134 rushing yards in the Vikings' 26-16 triumph over NFC North rival Detroit last week. "Every week, I feel like I'm going to have a great game. I'm not going to lie," Peterson said. San Diego's Philip Rivers has completed 80.9 percent of his passes and has thrown four touchdowns this season and a franchise-best 256 in his career to move past Dan Fouts, who will be in the broadcast booth to call the game. Wideout Keenan Allen reeled in 15 receptions for 166 yards in a season-opening 33-28 win over Detroit and running back Danny Woodhead had a team-leading six catches in a 24-19 setback to Cincinnati last week.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Vikings -2.5. O/U: 45

ABOUT THE CHARGERS (1-1): Tight end Ladarius Green has practiced on both Wednesday and Thursday as he attempts to overcome his second concussion in two weeks. Green has reeled in 10 passes for 121 yards and a touchdown while playing in place of veteran Antonio Gates, who is serving a four-game suspension for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances. Veteran Stevie Johnson has caught 11 of the 12 balls thrown his way for 127 yards and two touchdowns.

ABOUT THE VIKINGS (1-1): Second-year quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is completing 74 percent of his passes (37-for-50) but has thrown for just 384 yards with a touchdown and an interception in two games this season. The second-year quarterback has flourished at home, recording 10 scores (nine passing, one rushing) in his last five starts. Tight end Kyle Rudolph has proven to be his most consistent receiver with a club-high 10 receptions.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Turner served as San Diego's coach from 2007-12, helping the club reach the AFC Championship Game in his first season.

2. Minnesota WR Charles Johnson has just five catches for 37 yards and zero touchdowns in 2015.

3. The Chargers' primary opponent has been themselves as they have turned the ball over six times - second only to Indianapolis (eight).

Preview: Pittsburgh at St. Louis.

The Pittsburgh Steelers lead the NFL in total offense through two games, and they have another weapon on the way. All-Pro running back Le’Veon Bell returns from a two-game suspension Sunday when the visiting Steelers face the St. Louis Rams for the first time since 2011.

Bell, who led the AFC with 1,361 rushing yards a year ago, sat out the first two games while serving a suspension for a marijuana conviction, but new acquisition DeAngelo Williams ran for 204 yards and three TDs in his absence. “(Williams) has been a good asset and acquisition for us,” Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin told reporters. “He’s working hard to compete and contribute in all areas. … We are excited about having both guys.” St. Louis was impressive on both sides of the ball in a 34-31 win over Seattle in Week 1 but sputtered in last week’s 24-10 loss at Washington. Facing Pittsburgh’s beefed-up rushing attack will be a concern for the Rams, who rank 30th in the league against the run - allowing 153 yards per game.
TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Steelers -1. O/U: 47.5

ABOUT THE STEELERS (1-1): Ben Roethlisberger has put up big numbers through two games, ranking second in the NFL with 720 passing yards, and needs 223 more to become the fifth active quarterback to surpass 40,000 career passing yards. Antonio Brown (18 receptions, 328 yards, two TDs) has been Roethlisberger’s favorite target, but five players have at least five receptions and Bell is an excellent receiver out of the backfield. The Steelers had a tough time stopping Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in the season opener, but the whopping 385 total yards per game they have given up is skewed by the large chunks allowed late in last week’s 43-18 rout of San Francisco.
ABOUT THE RAMS (1-1): After passing for 297 yards and a touchdown and rushing for a score against Seattle, offseason acquisition Nick Foles took a step backward versus Washington, going 17-of-32 for 150 yards and a TD. The running game has stalled while awaiting the debut of first-round pick Todd Gurley (knee), as receiver Tavon Austin leads the team with 57 rushing yards. The Rams boast a strong pass rush led by Pittsburgh native Aaron Donald, but they were gashed for 182 yards on the ground last week and will have to be much stronger against the run to be successful in stopping the Steelers.


EXTRA POINTS
1. Roethlisberger has recorded 107 wins as a starter, tying him with Terry Bradshaw for the most in franchise history.

2. Rams LB James Laurinaitis (914) needs two tackles to surpass Merlin Olsen as the franchise’s all-time leader.

3. Brown has at least seven receptions in an NFL-record 13 consecutive games, averaging 8.7 catches and 116.5 yards with 10 TDs during the streak.

Preview: San Francisco at Arizona.


Carson Palmer hasn't missed a beat since a season-ending ACL injury in 2014 and the Arizona Cardinals have continued their success with the veteran under center. After throwing for seven touchdowns in the first two weeks, Palmer looks to guide the Cardinals to their second consecutive 3-0 start on Sunday when they host the NFC West rival San Francisco 49ers.

The 35-year-old has been the good-luck charm for Arizona, which has won eight straight with the veteran at the helm since a 23-20 setback to San Francisco in the 2013 season finale. Like Palmer, NFC Offensive Player of the Week Larry Fitzgerald is defying the aging process with a three-touchdown performance in the Cardinals' 48-23 triumph over Chicago last week. Arizona will look to light up the scoreboard versus a 49ers club that was shelled 43-18 in a loss to Pittsburgh last week after surrendering just three points in the season opener. After rushing for a career-high 168 yards against Minnesota, Carlos Hyde was slowed by a leg contusion and a head injury versus the Steelers, but he is expected to play on Sunday.

TV: 4:05 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Cardinals -6.5. O/U: 44

ABOUT THE 49ERS (1-1): Colin Kaepernick put up gaudy statistics (335 yards passing, 51 yard rushing) with last week's tilt out of hand, but was held under 250 yards passing in both meetings with Arizona in 2014. The fifth-year quarterback found some chemistry with former Baltimore wideout Torrey Smith, who reeled in a 75-yard scoring strike among his six receptions. Former Ravens and Cardinals wide receiver Anquan Boldin, who had a 14-yard touchdown grab last week, raced 76 yards for a score in San Francisco's 20-17 victory over Arizona on Dec. 28.

ABOUT THE CARDINALS (2-0): Arizona has traditionally struggled to run the ball but David Johnson showed such a burst during his franchise-best 108-yard kick return for a touchdown last week that coach Bruce Arians stressed that he'd grant the rookie a larger role on Sunday. The jaunt also earned Johnson NFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors to boot. Veteran Chris Johnson stepped in admirably for the injured Andre Ellington (sprained knee) and amassed 72 yards on the ground last week.

EXTRA POINTS

1. San Francisco has won five of the last six meetings in Arizona, but the Cardinals have emerged victorious in 14 of their last 18 overall at home.

2. Arizona S Tony Jefferson, who leads the team with 14 tackles, returned an interception 26 yards for a touchdown last week.

3. 49ers TE Vernon Davis has eight catches already after mustering just 26 in 14 games last season.

Preview: Buffalo at Miami.


After coming up short in last week's litmus test, the Buffalo Bills look to measure up with another AFC East foe when they visit the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Buffalo coach Rex Ryan saw his vaunted defense shredded by Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in a 40-32 setback last week, and faces Ryan Tannehill on the heels of a 359-yard performance in a 23-20 loss to Jacksonville.

Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor showed plenty of both positives (three touchdowns) and negatives (three interceptions) in a losing effort last week. The outcome notwithstanding, Buffalo felt confident enough in Taylor to trade veteran Matt Cassel to Dallas on Tuesday and promote 2013 first-round pick EJ Manuel to a backup role. While the Bills have won four of their last six meetings with Miami, they would be wise to keep a keen eye on Jarvis Landry. The slot receiver has reeled in eight receptions in each game this season after catching five balls in both contests versus Buffalo last season.

TV: 4:25 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Dolphins -3. O/U: 43.5

ABOUT THE BILLS (1-1): Plagued by a nagging hamstring injury, LeSean McCoy returned to practice on Thursday and is prepared to battle both the Dolphins and possible dehydration when he takes the field on Sunday. The electric back rolled up 89 yards on the ground and added three receptions for the second straight week to lead Buffalo, which puts its third-ranked rushing attack (153.5 yards per game) against Miami's 27th-ranked rush defense (142 yards per game). Tight end Charles Clay caught one of Taylor's touchdown passes last week and faces a Dolphins team with which he spent the first four seasons of his NFL career.

ABOUT THE DOLPHINS (1-1): Miami hasn't received much bang for its buck with Ndamukong Suh, who has just three tackles and zero sacks after signing a six-year, $114 million deal in March. "It's still not quite where I want it to be," Suh told ESPN.com while deflecting a recent report of "freelancing" toward coach Joe Philbin's denial on Monday. Speaking of struggling Dolphins, running back Lamar Miller mustered just 14 yards on 10 carries last week and his 67 thus far this season is well off the pace of the career-high 1,099 he amassed in 2014.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Buffalo G Richie Incognito returns to Miami for the first time since being suspended in 2013 following a bullying scandal.

2. Miami WR Rishard Matthews had six catches for 115 yards last week, marking his most for both categories since he reeled in 11 receptions for 120 yards versus Tampa Bay on Nov. 11, 2013.

3. The Bills have surrendered 811 total yards in two games, which is fifth-worst in the league.

Preview: Chicago at Seattle.

Only five teams in NFL history have made the playoffs after an 0-3 start – a fate that awaits the loser when the Seattle Seahawks host the Chicago Bears on Sunday in a clash of winless teams. It’s the home opener for the Seahawks, who lost only twice at CenturyLink Field in the past three seasons.

The Seahawks’ slow start is especially surprising after playing in the last two Super Bowls, as their once-vaunted defense has allowed 61 points through two games. There’s help on the way, as safety Kam Chancellor ended his holdout this week, but it’s unclear whether or not he will play Sunday. The Bears have looming questions of their own with Jimmy Clausen likely to make only his second start since the end of the 2010 season due to Jay Cutler’s strained hamstring. Clausen is 1-10 as a starter, with 10 outings coming as a rookie in 2010 with Carolina.
TV: 4:25 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Seahawks -14.5. O/U: 43.5

ABOUT THE BEARS (0-2): In addition to Cutler’s injury, the Bears could be without receiver Alshon Jeffery (hamstring) for a second consecutive game. Those absences would put more pressure on Matt Forte, who ranks third in the NFL in both rushing (202 yards) and yards from scrimmage (271). The defense hasn’t given up much yardage, ranking seventh in the league at 311 yards per game, but is last in scoring defense (39.5 points).
ABOUT THE SEAHAWKS (0-2): The Seahawks have topped 100 yards rushing in a franchise-record 13 consecutive games thanks to Marshawn Lynch, but he has yet to find the end zone this season and has recorded only 114 yards on the ground through two games. Russell Wilson has enjoyed success running the ball but has to find a way to get tight end Jimmy Graham more involved in the offense after the former New Orleans star was limited to two targets and one reception against the Packers. Seattle has had a tough time stopping the pass without Chancellor but might load the box against Forte to force Clausen to beat them through the air.



EXTRA POINTS
1. Wilson is 26-2 as a starter at home, including the playoffs.

2. Seattle DE Michael Bennett, who leads the team with two sacks, will square off against his brother, Chicago TE Martellus Bennett, who leads the Bears with nine receptions.

3. Graham (178) and Martellus Bennett (164) rank first and second among tight ends, respectively, in receptions since the start of the 2013 season.

Preview: Denver at Detroit.


Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos have not looked overly impressive in the young season, but they still have a chance to improve to 3-0 when they visit the winless Detroit Lions on Sunday night. The Broncos remained unbeaten by scoring a pair of touchdowns nine seconds apart in the final minute last week to eke out a stunning 31-24 victory at Kansas City.

“I’m not quite sure I’ve ever been in one quite like that,” Manning said after Bradley Roby returned a fumble for a touchdown with 27 seconds to play in Denver's great escape against the Chiefs. Playing away from home shouldn't faze the Broncos, who set a league record with their 13th straight division road win last week. Detroit has dropped its first two games - both on the road - and is coming off a lackluster performance in a 26-16 loss at Minnesota a week ago. “We’ve got to be more consistent,” Lions coach Jim Caldwell said. “We’re going to make sure that we get ourselves headed in the right direction.”

TV: 8:30 p.m. ET, NBC. LINE: Broncos -3. O/U: 44.5

ABOUT THE BRONCOS (2-0): After failing to produce an offensive touchdown in the season opener, Manning threw for three scores and 256 yards to join Brett Favre as the only quarterbacks with more than 70,000 passing yards. The biggest concern for Denver is getting a dismal ground game untracked - running back C.J. Anderson has rushed for only 56 yards on 24 carries and the Broncos ranked 29th in the league with an average of 65.0 yards per game. The Broncos' defense has played superbly in the first two games, registering seven sacks and four interceptions while leading the league with an average of 133.5 passing yards allowed.

ABOUT THE LIONS (0-2): Detroit blew a 21-3 lead in a season-opening defeat at San Diego and trailed the entire way against Minnesota as quarterback Matthew Stafford was hit early and often, requiring X-rays on his ribs and chest afterward. Calvin Johnson was invisible in the opener before hauling in 10 catches for 83 yards and a TD last week, but rookie running back Ameer Abdullah was held to nine yards after an impressive 94-yard rushing performance in his NFL debut. Plugging the void left by tackle Ndamukong Suh has been a huge issue for the Lions, who are yielding 147.5 yards on the ground after leading the league (69.3) last season.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Manning needs 23 completions to join Favre (6,300) as the only players with 6,000.

2. Johnson has 30 receptions for 470 yards and four TDs in his last four home games.

3. Broncos WRs Demaryius Thomas (16) and Emmanuel Sanders have combined for 31 catches in the first two games.
