So follow Reception Perception on the free Odyssey app or wherever you get your podcasts. We begin in Baltimore where the biggest underdog of the week, the Raiders stunned the Ravens 2623. Las Vegas was down 2313 entering the fourth quarter. Gardener Menchu to Devontae Adams, key to the comeback a touchdown. Menchu had 276 yards in the air with that score in the win. Adams, nine grabs for 110 yards breakout game for rookie tight end Brock Bowers, nine grabs, 98 yards, Max Crosby, two sacks, Derek Henry in a loss, 84 and a touchdown. Zate Flowers, seven grabs, 91 yards and a touchdown for Baltimore who got two and a half sacks from Medafe El Oa. The Raiders host the Panthers on Sunday chance to get to two and one. The Ravens are headed to Dallas trying to avoid 0 and three John Harbaugh on his message to his winless team. Disappointing loss, tough loss. Could have gone our way for sure. But we didn't get the job done. 0 and 2. We are going to play a 17 game season and we will be defined by the next 15 games. So that's going to be our objective to play the best 15 games we can be the best football team we can be. Bad loss from Baltimore. They had one last year too. Remember they lost a game to Pittsburgh, where Pittsburgh could barely manage your first down. And this one, they're up 10. And it's the team. They're probably better than in almost every capacity. And yet, you look up at the end of the score, end of the day at the scoreboard, they had lost that game by a field goal relinquishing a 10 point lead in this span of about 10 minutes. That is not very Baltimore like, but for the Raiders, good for that sort of validating the program a little bit. They're trying to play this hard ass, tough as nails. We're going to chew on cardboard and spit out the machine gun fire and they're doing that. They're doing their best in a division that's pretty complicated and tough, but Baltimore's own too with it. Not that easy schedule to come. Chargers bullied the Panthers 26 to three JK Dobbins ran for 131 yards, 17 attempts, back-to-back 100 yard games to start the season for JK Dobbins. Gus Edwards at 18 carries as far as former Ravens running backs go as well. Justin Herbert threw for a buck 30 and two scores both to Quentin Johnston who had six grabs for 51 yards. Carolina's offense, anemic, quarterback's obviously been benched since 84 passing yards on 26 attempts. We'll do that. Leading wide receiver was Adam Field and it went two for 20 through the air. The Chargers matching up with the Steelers, someone's going to get to three and oh this coming week. Meanwhile, the Panthers are in Vegas. For the Chargers, very soft opening to the season, but again, it's validating the program. When Jim Harbaugh shows up, you're going to be better than you were that they would have found a way to have lost one of these two games over the last couple of seasons. This is what they do now. They're physical. They push you around. Dobbins deserves comeback player of the millennium. For some concern, even if he does nothing else for the rest of the year, just the fact that he's doing this after all the injuries that have happened, he's been the story through two weeks in the NFL. That's the 16 minutes on G and D. Let's get to the Saints lighting up the Cowboys. That's fun to say. 44 19 final in Dallas, New Orleans scoring on every single possession in the game. In fact, they've scored every single time they've had the ball through two games this season. Derek Carr's been great. 11 for 16, 243 yards and two touchdowns. Didn't even really break a sweat. Another 70 yard touchdown for him through the air in this game. He also ran for a score. So did Alvin Camara three times. He ran for a buck 15 added 65 through the air a four touchdown performance for Camara. Here's Camara running right side. Wow. Serves in for the touchdown. Try to gain it here on second down. Pressure coming this out of screen. All there's a lot of room. Alvin Camara rules a roll. Alvin Camara is going to score touchdown. Camara big hole left side. Alvin Camara sprinting towards the end zone. He is in touchdown New Orleans. Camara looking for his fourth touchdown of the game stays on his feet. Alvin Camara's got four Kevin Burkhardt of Fox on the call. That's the 18 with Tom Brady. Dallas losing effort. CD lamb caught a 65 yard touchdown. Dak Prescott slinging it all game because they were behind big through for 293, but was picked off twice. Alvin, I'm a Camara guy, but you heard Kevin Burkhardt clear as they say Camara pronounce it. However, he wants it pronounced. That's 290 yards and five touchdowns for two weeks. New Orleans, the offensive renaissance. This is like prime Sean Payton drew breeze. All the weaponry that you'd ever want type offense. They, I think that's the third highest point total through two weeks in NFL history. They have been unbelievable on that side of the ball. Box are a surprise to an O as well. Two teams in the NFC South frisky off to fast starts. They impressed in a 20 to 16 squeaker at the lions in Detroit, Baker Mayfield threw a touchdown pass and ran for another first 10 at the 11 yard line. Mayfield going to run again. Baker up the middle inside the five mayfield blunging touchdown. Kevin Kugler on the call on Fox. Chris Godwin caught seven balls for a buck 17 in a tuddy. The bucks picked off Jared golf twice. He also had two other interception throws dropped. Could have been a four pick game. Golf was not good. Jameer Gibbs ran for 84. A moderate Saint Brown, 11 catches for a buck 19. He got back on track. Dan Campbell ran a fake pun inside his own 20 that worked. That's the good news. There was an end of half the buckle where the lions had too many men on the field before a field goal and a 10 second runoff cost them three points in a game that came down to the wire. The bucks host the Broncos really good chance to be three and oh after this weekend, the lions go to the Cardinals. Arizona is not very fun to play. Yeah, golf 55 pass attempts in this game. This is not who Detroit is. This is not what they've done over the last couple of seasons where they've thumped it, run it right down your throat and then hit with some play action or, you know, some precision type stuff. Offense didn't quite look right in this game. The more the season goes on, if Tampa kind of keeps doing this, maybe the more credit you have to give to them as a team that felt under appreciated. Quite frankly, come off the other they had last year, multiple straight division crowns and albeit a bad division. But that was a really impressive road run for Tampa. The Packers got a gutsy 16 to 10 triumph over the Colts without Jordan Love. Malik Willis started for Green Bay and they won 12 completions for Willis who didn't turn the ball over. The Packers ran for 261 yards. If you guys didn't see this game, it was a Mona Lisa from Matt LaFloor. I was texting with him and I just said, take a bow, dude. He's like, Hey, we just tried to ground and pound it. I mean, the design, the way that they operated in the back, it looked like a high school football offense. No exaggeration. If you're 14 pass attempts, if you're a high school coach in this area, watch that game and steal some stuff because that's, they didn't throw it. They didn't push the ball down the field at all. They just bullied the Colts. Willis also said LaFloor deserved some credit. I mean, it feels awesome. I just got to give all the glory to God. Forgive me this opportunity and just put me in an environment where they could just help me, you know, not only get ready for the game, but just instill confidence in me and help me be the best that I can be. So that it said credits the floor. He credited God. I'm not saying LaFloor is God, but that was a God like plan. So I will just say that. But 16 to 10 triumph over the Colts. Josh Jacobs, how about this 1991 stat line? 32 runs, 151 yards. That's 4.7 a pop. Willis had a 19 yard scramble at 41 on the ground for the Packers. 53 of 67 plays were runs, just a muckfest. Anthony Richardson, three interceptions. Jonathan Taylor ran for 100 yards on 12 attempts. The Packers go back to Tennessee. LaFloor's old stomping grounds on Sunday. The Colts host the Bears in a someone needs a win game. Green Bay needed that one. You need to do a couple of things to stay afloat until Jordan love comes back. That was a big win for them for the Colts. Yeah. Week one, they were right there with Houston going back and forth. Great ball game, you know, 29, 27. They end up losing that one. This is one you might be kicking yourself over. You give up 16 points and you couldn't do more than that. When you had your chances on offense, Richardson and accurate, I think it was 50%, completion percentage, couple turnovers that you referenced. Now a schedule with the Bears, Steelers, Jaguars, Titans coming up, civil chance to get right. But you look up now, you're already two games behind Houston. He browns out slug the Jaguars 18 to three to get to one and one. The Sean Watson was better in this game, better than terrible was okay, but that's still better. 24 of 34, Buck 86 ran for a touchdown. Jerry Judy led the Browns five catches 73 yards. Miles Garrett had one of the Browns for sacks of Trevor Lawrence. Speaking of Lawrence, 14 for 30 passing for Jacksonville going one for four in the red zone. Bad start to the year for Lawrence Jacksonville's 0 and two. The Giants are taking on the Browns this week. Meanwhile, Jacksonville hits the road for Monday night football game one in Buffalo against the two and O bills. The head coach of the Browns in the wind column, Kevin Stefansk. Yeah, we battled and we knew America coming down here that they were going to have to battle and in the run game battle in the past game battle. Cause that's a very good front and there's some very, very good players up front. So again, I just go back to it wasn't pretty all the time. It doesn't have to be. It just has to be a team committed to getting better. Hashtag battle. This is who I thought Cleveland was going to be week one was such an aberration. They got destroyed by Dallas, but I thought they would be them and Pittsburgh are doing the Spiderman meme to each other. Bad quarterback play, great defense, some physical play on offense here and there and you're going to, yes, battle around. They gave Jacksonville fits on that side of the football. That's who I thought Cleveland was going to be. How, you know, what's the ceiling for that? I don't know in that division, but this is kind of the Cleveland I signed up for. The Vikings upset the 49ers 23 to 17 in Minneapolis in a home win. Justin Jefferson, 133 on four grabs. 97 on this one catch. The Viking defense second down nine. Donald getting messy. Go and DB's got Jefferson. He's got Jefferson. It's a foot race down field with Brown shifting gears, getting a broad fix six. Kevin Harlan on the call for CBS, but you already knew that Sam Darnell solid two 68 and a couple of touchdowns. Ty Chandler ran 10 times for 82 yards. Brian Flores, what a plan defensively for Minnesota. Five sacks, turn Brock Purdy over two times before an injury to Debo Samuel. He caught 10 passes for 110 yards. Jordan Mason ran for a buck. Second straight week, he's hit 100 yards or more rushing. San Francisco's at the Rams. There's going to be a lot of stars not playing in that game. And my favorite game of week three early on, the Vikings host the Texans. If they can somehow beat Houston, they will prove that they are legit at three and all. Yeah, they are in business now. And Brian Flores, take a bow. You already touched on it. But did you know that Patrick Jones, the second, for example, has already tied his career high in sacks with four through a couple of weeks? The plans that Brian Flores is executing are ridiculous. There, there was a look I saw this, I can't remember who posted it, where there are nine guys within a yard of the line of scrimmage, one single high safety deep. And the, the person doing the analysis goes, this is a Tampa to look from Minnesota, meaning, you know, the two safety's bail out, the middle linebacker bails out to the middle and you're able to cover all this different kind of stuff and force everything in front of you. And that's not what a Tampa to looks like before the snap. But that's what they were able to do. They're disguising things and tricking people right now. They've given San Francisco fits. I think it's two straight years, right? They've beaten San Fran. Yeah. Last year in San Francisco on Monday night, and then this game on Sunday Seahawks squeaked out a physical win in New England, 2320. The Patriots are better than we thought they'd be. But they let the Seahawks off the hook. Question mark, a Gino Smith, 33 of 44 for 327 and a touchdown. DK Metcalf, 14 targets, 10 catches for a buck 29 score. Jackson Smith and Jigba, JSN 16 targets, 12 grabs 117 yards, 30 of 33 passes from Gino Smith, or I should say 44 passes, but 30 of his targets went to Metcalf and in Jigba. Pretty awesome. No Kenneth Walker. So Zach Charbonnet carried the ball, ran 14 times for 38 yards, did score. New England got a decent outing from Jacobi brisket, 15 of 27, 149 in the score. Antonio Gibson, our old friend, was the Patriots leading rusher with 96 yards at a 45 yard run. Ramon Dre Stevenson, totalled the ball 21 times. DK Metcalf, have a day. Suck it down at five. Smith sets, fires down field, wide open, Metcalf, touchdown, 56 yards. New England's really impressive. I thought they would be contending with Carolina for the topic and the draft. They're not, they're not good. I'm not telling you, I've seen the start of the second Patriots dynasty, post Belichick and Brady, but they are competitive, man. They probably should have won this game too. They should probably be 2 and 0, but they have been tough, competitive without much on offense. Hunter Henry is the leading receiver with eight catches for a bucko nine. Jalen Polk, who was all the rage as a rookie, only had two receptions. They can't really throw it down the football field, but they're fun that way to compete in these games. So tip of the cap there for Seattle, a sneaky little 2 and 0 start.

Braylon Allen scored the game winning touchdown on a 20 yard run with 4 31 to play. And normally Rogers in a complete command in those situations. Roger looking. Touchdown, Breeze Hall holds it in. Both jets running back, scoring in this game, Breeze Hall on the touchdown from Aaron Rogers there. Jets for plus two and takeaways. Rogers first went in New York through for 176 and a pair. Hall, by the way, had seven catches for over 50 yards, including that tuddy. Will McDonald three sacks for the Jets. Will Levis, another terrible play. Remember last week it was the awful pick six. This week he was falling down and threw backwards, basically rolled a ball on the ground. That was a loose football and a fumble, not corralled by his target. And so it was a red zone turnover. And there were cameras that picked up Brian Callahan, his head coach asking him what the bleep are you doing, except he didn't say bleep. He didn't believe the Jets host the Patriots with a shot to get to two and one. In Thursday night, football match up this week and the Titans host Green Bay without Jordan Love. Good opportunity for them to get a surprising win. Titans defense is pretty tough, but offensively, it just, you know, it's a matter of time before Levis makes some horrible mistake or they have some kind of drive killing kind of moment. They're not there. They're not ready to be any good. Just yet they've been competitive in both of their games. Of course, now both losses. Cardinals ripped the Rams 41 10. Kyler Murray, a Murray through foreign completions, three touchdowns in the game, 266 through the air. And Marvin Harrison Jr. got going after a silent week one, 130 yards on four catches with two touchdowns all in the first quarter. He had more yards in the first quarter than his dad ever had in any quarter in his Hall of Fame career. Fake to Connor. Hurry on the roll out. Looking deep for Harrison. Marvin Harrison Jr. To the end zone. Touchdown again. That's a hell of a call from Adam Amin on Fox James Connor 21 for 122 on the grounded score. The Rams now without Cooper cup and Pukinakua in the passing game. They've got San Francisco without stars. Arizona Detroit, as we mentioned, a fun match up this weekend. Arizona validated what they did for most of the game. I would say week one on the road in Buffalo. They were really impressive. They beat up a frankly beat up Rams team. Everybody, if you had a DFS stack going, little James Connor, Kyler Murray, Marvin Harrison, you probably were in the money with what those guys did. That was unbelievable. What a dominant performance. Steelers limped past the Broncos, 13, six. They've won each of their games now. Pittsburgh has despite one touchdown on the season. It's so Steelers. Six field goals in week one. Call the commanders. They're still in their script. And then this week with the one touchdown, that was enough. So eight field goals for their nine scores from Chris Boswell. But they're still two and O defense picked Bo Nick's twice TJ Watt wrecked the game against the Falcons. Little more quiet, but did have another sack in this one. Pat Freyrmuth, the leading receiver from Justin Fields, four catches, 39 yards. Speaking of fields after the game, he said Russell Wilson was going to be celebrated the former Bronco. Yeah. Yeah. We don't know. Russ got kind of did dirty last year. So I know he was, you know, he could have played today in his game, but it's awesome. You know, getting that went from him. You got a petty game wall. So yeah, it's great to have a petty game ball. It was called now, which I love. I don't know if anyone got dirty or done dirty or whatever. I will tell you, I love this. I love that sort of thing where you're looking out for your teammate, right? Like whether you believe that he was, there was an injustice done to Russell Wilson or otherwise, it doesn't matter whatever unites you, unites you, find a common enemy and go to battle. I thought that was pretty cool. Bo Nick's in this game, the leading rusher for the Broncos, that's going to have to change. He ran for 25 yards. Josh Reynolds, 93 as a receiver. Pittsburgh's got the Chargers. Denver is at Tampa Bay. Let's go to the game of the weekend. And that was the Chiefs and the Bengals in Kansas City where the Chiefs won via a pass interference on Cincinnati late, set up a Harrison butker game winning field goal from 53 yards. Isaiah Pacheco was injured in this game before that though, he's going to be out for several weeks. He ran 19 times for 90 yards. Patton Holmes picked off twice. 18 of 25 for just 151 and two scores. Rashi Rice caught a long touchdown. He went for 75 and that score. Joe Burrow finally gets it going for the Bengals in week two, two 58 and two through the air. Bengals couldn't run it though. Zach Moss just 12 for 34 on the ground. Their leading receiver was Mike Kasecki, seven grabs for 91 yards. Jamar Chase still library quiet, four grabs, 35 yards for him. Zach Taylor not enjoying a final sequence. It saw his team fall to 0 and two. I mean, you know, it's one of those plays where we may benefit from something like that at some point this season. That's what I told her guys. So, you know, they're calling it like they see it. I thought they called a very fair game and they saw that as a penalty. So they called a penalty and our defense still did a great job. You know, not giving many yards after that. So I was praying the way that they kept battling because that's an emotional kick right there on fourth and long and they came out and they got three really good stops and then they got a good kicker and he made it. So that's really just what the game comes down to. Yeah. I know since that he lost his game with their frustrated and ticked off about that. That went a long way to kind of validating that it's okay to have expectations there. I know they're on two. They're not a no one to team. I know that that's what they are because it's Monday night if or they're cooked seriously, but week one, you're going, Oh my God, they're broken. What's wrong with the Bengals? They'll be just fine. They're going to win more games than they lose this year. And finally on Sunday night football, the Texans beat the Bears. 1913. Caleb Williams sacked seven times and intercepted twice. He is really struggled through two games. C.J. Stroud is not. He threw for two, 16 a touchdown. Nico Collins putting on a show. 10 targets, eight catches, 135 yards. Second and long. In the middle, Collins flag is down as Collins goes to the end zone for a touchdown. The outstanding Mike Turico on the call on NBC. Stafond eggs, four catches, 37 yards for the Texans. Joe Nixon, nine for 25 on the ground. Houston only four for 14 on third down. Still one. Williams, as I said, through two contests now, you have to throw a touchdown. And those two interceptions loomed large. DJ Moore was clearly annoyed six for 53 for him as a receiver. Chicago's at Indy. Someone's going to be 0 and three Houston, Minnesota, one of the top games of the weekend. This is me saying this grant. You were right. Danny, you were wrong. You were right. I was wrong. Houston is good on both sides of the ball. That's a mature win right there. Their offense isn't doing what they wanted to do. Joe Nixon, a week one ran for a thousand yards that couldn't really get the running game going. That matter. You got CJ Stradd, he'll bail you out, make a couple plays. Nico Collins is awesome. That defense is better than I thought it was going to be. They are a force on that side. They're tough to deal with. You always have to worry about somebody we can have it in the backfield. Houston is legit. That's the fastest 16 minutes in radio or look back at the NFL game by game every single Tuesday. This episode is brought to you by Progressive Insurance.
