NFL Week 2 live updates: Texans face Bears on 'Sunday Night Football'

The Texans are up 3-0 after the first drive of the game ended with a 56-yard belter by Texans kicker Ka’imi Fairbairn. 

Both teams look to stay undefeated with the Bears coming off a win last Sunday over the Titans, whereas the Texans eked out a victory over the Colts.

After a pass interference penalty on fourth-and-16, the Chiefs took advantage and kicked a game-winning field goal for a 26-25 win over the Bengals.

Harrison Butker connected from 51 yards for the win. It was the fifth lead change of the second half in a back-and-forth game.

After a Ja'Marr Chase unsportsmanlike conduct penalty derailed their drive, the Bengals rebounded from a Joe Burrow fumble with a field goal. It’s Cincinnati’s fourth field goal of the game.

The Bengals now lead 25-23.

What a swing! The Chiefs strip-sacked Joe Burrow and returned the fumble for a score. Not only did the Bengals not capitalize on a Patrick Mahomes interception, Kansas City somehow took the lead on the next possession.

After a failed two-pointer, the Chiefs now lead 23-22.

A sick one-handed interception by Cam Taylor-Britt has given the Bengals the ball with a 22-17 lead. It’s Patrick Mahomes’s second interception of the game.

After the Chiefs took the lead on their first possession of the second half, the Bengals made sure it would be a short-lived one.

Cincinnati answered with an 11-play, 70-yard drive that resulted in an Andrei Iosivas three-yard touchdown catch on fourth down, his second score of the day.

After settling for three field goals in the first half deep in Kansas City territory, Cincinnati was more aggressive on this drive.

The Bengals are now back on top 22-17.

And now the Chiefs are leading.

Patrick Mahomes threw a one-yard touchdown pass to offensive tackle Wanya Morris to put Kansas City ahead of the Bengals 17-16. The score capped a 13-play drive to start the second half.

The Bengals are leading the Chiefs 16-10 at halftime...but it feels like they left points on the table.

Cincinnati had two drives that went inside the Kansas City 20 that ended with field goals, including one that was a goal-to-go. And after a Carson Steele fumble late in the half, the Bengals managed only a field goal.

That’s three opportunities for touchdowns that Cincinnati couldn’t capitalize on. The lead is impressive, but it’s playing with fire to let Patrick Mahomes hang around like this.

Cincinnati QB Joe Burrow has thrown for 140 yards and a score so far. Kansas City's Mahomes has thrown for only 93, with a touchdown and an interception.

Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp left today’s game against the Cardinals with an ankle injury and is doubtful to return.

Cupp caught four passes for 37 yards before leaving the game. The Rams are already thin at wide receiver — second-year player Puka Nacua is on injured reserve after hurting his knee in Week 1.

The Bengals are up 16-10, scoring only a field goal after a Carson Steele fumble.

Nice job of holding by the Chiefs defense, which has had to defend two short fields after turnovers. They’ve been bending but not breaking so far, holding Cincinnati to three field goals and only one touchdown to keep the game close.

The Bengals have the ball and a three-point lead after a Carson Steele fumble.

The last time Cincinnati took over after a Kansas City touchdown, Joe Burrow led the Bengals to their first (and currently only) touchdown of the game.

After a forgettable NFL debut, Cardinals rookie wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. is more than making up for it in Week 2.

Harrison Jr. had four catches for 130 yards and two scores in the first half for Arizona today, helping his team race out to a 24-3 lead over the Rams after 30 minutes.

Harrison Jr., the son of Hall-of-Famer Marvin Harrison, was the fourth pick in April’s draft and entered this season with high expectations. He was surprisingly targeted only three times in Week 1.

He’s been sensational today, and is showing why he was one of the top prospects in the 2024 draft class.

For the second time in this game, Cincinnati drove deep into Kansas City territory only to come away with a field goal. Usually that’s not a good strategy for beating Patrick Mahomes!

The Bengals are now up 13-10 with under five minutes to go in the first half.

Patrick Mahomes found Rashee Rice running down the left sideline for 44 yards and we’re tried again in Kansas City. The catch, run and score evened the game at 10.

After a Patrick Mahomes interception, the Bengals offense capitalized. Joe Burrow found Andrei Iosivas for a 4-yard touchdown to give Cincinnati a 10-3 lead.

On the first play of the Chiefs’ second drive, Patrick Mahomes was picked off by Bengals linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither. The Bengals are now inside Kansas City territory to start the second quarter.

After a field goal to open the game, Cincinnati went three-and-out on its next possession. A false start on first down set the drive back. The Chiefs are taking over on their own 29.

Look at this amazing scramble and touchdown throw by Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray! There is no defending this:

Kansas City drove all the way inside the Bengals’ 5-yard-line, but had the Chiefs had to settle for a field goal on their opening drive.

The teams are all tied up at 3 in the first quarter.

Harrison Jr. has 130 yards receiving and two scores against the Rams...and it's only the second quarter.

After driving inside the 10-yard-line, the Bengals settled for a field goal on their first drive agains the Chiefs.

Joe Burrow threw for 63 yards on the 10-play drive.

Cincinnati leads 3-0.

Alvin Kamara had four touchdowns as the Saints offense dominated in a 44-19 rout of the Cowboys.

Derek Carr threw for 243 yards and Kamara ran for 115 more. Dak Prescott threw two interceptions in the loss, which dropped Dallas to 1-1.

New Orleans is 2-0, and has scored 91 points in two games so far this season.

Marvin Harrison Jr. already has his second touchdown of the day! After a slow start in Week 1, the rookie is showing why he was a top five pick today.

What an upset!

The Raiders beat the Ravens 26-23 off a late field goal by Daniel Carlson. Las Vegas scored 13 points in the fourth for the come-from-behind victory. The Raiders trailed by 10 on multiple occasions.

Gardner Minshew threw for 276 yards in the win.

Lamar Jackson threw for 247 yards with one touchdown and one interception. The Ravens are now 0-2 for the first time since 2015.

Rookie Marvin Harrison Jr. has the first touchdown of his career.

Harrison Jr. had only one catch for four yards in his NFL debut, as he was targeted only three times in Week 1. He was the No. 4 overall pick in April’s draft.

Rookie Jayden Daniels has his first win as the Commanders knocked off the Giants 21-18 in an NFC East battle only a mother could love.

Daniels threw for 226 yards and ran for 44 more. Washington didn’t score a touchdown, winning via seven field goals.

Daniel Jones threw for 178 yards and two touchdowns for the Giants, who failed two two-point conversion attempts after an injury to kicker Graham Gano on the game's opening kickoff.

Aaron Rodgers has his first win in New York as the Jets improve to 1-1.

Rodgers threw for 176 yards and two touchdowns. New York’s defense stopped the Titans in a goal-to-go situation in the final seconds of the fourth to hold on for the win.

Will Levis threw for 192 yards and a score, but had an interception and a fumble.

Another upset! The Bucs get revenge on the Lions for their loss in the NFC Divisional Round last season.

Baker Mayfield threw for 185 yards and had two scores — one in the air and one on the ground.

The Raiders have tied it up late in Baltimore!

One of the biggest upsets of the day! Led by former 49ers backup Sam Darnold, Minnesota has knocked off the reigning NFC champs at home.

Brock Purdy threw two picks for San Francisco. Darnold threw for 268 yards and two scores.

This should be the clincher for Cleveland.

With the Lions needing to convert a fourth down trailing 20-16, the Buccaneers defense held up and got the stop in the red zone with less than a minute to go.

Detroit can still get the ball back if Tampa Bay can’t get a first down on its next drive, but it’s looking bleak for the Lions.

The Seahawks opted not to attempt a 4th-and-1, and have tied the game late in New England.

Malik Willis wins his first start as a Packer and Green Bay gets its first win of the season.

With the Cowboys driving late in the first half, Dak Prescott was picked off by Paulson Adebo, who ran the ball back deep into Dallas territory. The Saints have a chance to add to their 28-13 lead.

The 49ers cash in on the Fred Warner interception for their first score.

The Jets are finally on the board in Tennessee right before halftime.

Whoa! The Saints continue to roll in Dallas. Alvin Kamara has his second touchdown of the day.

A week after his interception was meme’d, Titans quarterback Will Levis may have an even worse turnover this week: an inexplicable backwards pass-turned-fumble that prevented the Titans from taking a two-score lead over the Jets.

The Packers were on the verge of taking a three-score lead over Colts, but Josh Jacobs fumbled at the goal line.

Lions defensive end Aiden Hutchinson has three sacks in the first quarter against the Buccaneers today. Three! Tampa Bay desperately needs to find a way to block him, as Hutchinson has single-handedly derailed multiple drives today.

After dropping 47 points on the Panthers in Week 1, the Saints have scored two touchdowns in the first quarter against the Cowboys in Week 2.

It was one thing for New Orleans to beat up on Carolina. It’s another to score in bunches against a Dallas defense loaded with talent. Is the Saints’ offense legit? Have the Cowboys taken a step back? Questions to monitor as this game unfolds.

For the second straight week, Derek Carr connects with Rashid Shaheed for a long score.

Malik Willis throws his first touchdown pass as a Packer.

Geno Smith connects with DK Metcalf to tie the game in New England.

A long Justin Herbert pass to Quentin Johnston has the Chargers up early 7-0 over the Panthers.

NFL teams are still figuring out the best way to exploit the new dynamic kickoff rules, and the Cowboys came up with an interesting angle today: Bouncing the ball in the landing zone through the back of the end zone, which is a touchback to the 20-yard-line, not the 30.

It can’t be easy to execute but it will be interesting to see who, if anyone, tries to copy this strategy.

Alvin Kamara has led the Saints to an early 7-0 lead.

Packers QB Jordan Love suffered a sprained MCL in his left knee) on the final play of his team's opening game against Philadelphia. Backup Malik Willis played the final two games and promptly threw an incompletion and a sack to close out the loss.

Willis, who was acquired via trade from Tennessee in August for a seventh-round pick will start Week 2 against the Colts.

Willis, a 2022 third-round pick, has made three career starts — all as a rookie — going 1-2.

Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown will miss the team’s Monday night game against the Falcons with a hamstring injury.

The Eagles announced Sunday that Brown has been downgraded to out on the injury report.

In Philadelphia’s Week 1 game against the Packers, Brown caught five passes for 119 yards and a touchdown.

Brown has not missed a game since 2021.

The Week 2 inactive lists are out.

Jaguars tight end Evan Engram is a late scratch due to a hamstring injury he suffered during warmups.

Also, as expected, Packers quarterback Jordan Love is inactive with the knee injury he sustained in the team’s Week 1 loss to the Eagles.

Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III is out, as is Browns tackle Jack Conklin. Here are some more names that either in or out:

Jets defensive end Haason Reddick will skip the team’s second straight game of the season as he continues his holdout for a new contract. Reddick hasn’t been with the team since an offseason trade from the Philadelphia Eagles in hopes of a new deal.

It’s an expensive holdout for Reddick, who stands to be fined over $4 million dollars if his absence lasts all season.

Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has no plans to retire after suffering at least his third concussion since 2022, reports the NFL Network.

Tagovailoa suffered a concussion during Miami’s 31-10 loss to the Bills on Thursday Night Football. Tagovailoa sustained at least two during the 2022 season, and was suspected — though never diagnosed — of suffering a third, a controversy that led to an overhaul of the league’s concussion protocol.

Tagovailoa will meet with neurologists early this week to discuss the severity of his latest concussion, ESPN reports.

Miami is 1-1.

Colts second-year QB Anthony Richardson was 9-for-19 passing last weekend against Houston for 212 yds and two touchdowns and one interception. He also had six rushes for a team-high 56 yards and another score.

Richardson had three passes of more than 50 yards, including 54-yard and 60-yard touchdowns.

Colts coach Shane Steichen said his pass to Alec Pierce "was probably the best throw I’ve ever seen. Closest one was probably Mahomes when I was with the Chargers in 2020 to Tyreek Hill… He’s got a huge arm that allows us to push the ball down the field.”

Giants QB Daniel Jones made his first start since Week 9 of the 2023 season (torn ACL) and went 22-for-42 for 186 yds with zero touchdowns and two scores. This included a pick-6.

Since signing a 4-year, $160 million deal in March of 2023, Jones has thrown more pick-6’s (3) than passing touchdowns (2). Giants coach Brian Daboll said he’s sticking with Jones at QB despite the bad game.

The good news? New York is 3-0-1 in their last four games vs. Washington.

Jayden Daniels, the No. 2 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, will make his second career start Sunday against the Giants. In his debut, he threw for 184 passing yards and also rushed 16 times for 88 yards and two scores.

Commanders coach Dan Quinn said you shouldn't expect that amount of runs per game from his QB.

“We’d love to see him remain a passer first,” he said postgame. “Certainly not all of those are designed QB runs.”

Only two teams failed to score touchdowns in Week 1: the Giants and the Steelers. The Giants lost by 22 points in their home opener (28-6) while the Steelers won 18-10 in Atlanta behind six field goals from Chris Boswell.

In Week 1, 64.9% of dynamic kickoffs went for touchbacks, while 33.3% were returned. This is an increase over 2023, which had the lowest kickoff return rate in history (21.8%).

One kickoff was returned for a touchdown in Week 1; there were four total kick return TD in 2023.

For the first time in 45 years and just the third time since 1960, three teams overcame deficits of at least 14 points to win in Week 1.

• Bears (down 17 points)
• Dolphins (down 14)
• Bills (down 14)
