After an opening week filled with both excitement and disappointment, Week 2 began on Thursday with the Philadelphia Eagles\u2019 victory over the Minnesota Vikings.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      The action continues this weekend with six divisional matchups, two 2022 playoff rematches, and a Monday Night Football double-header. Here\u2019s everything you need to know:  <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"subheader\">    Baltimore Ravens @ Cincinnati Bengals, 1 p.m. CBS<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      Sunday afternoon features an AFC North showdown between Joe Burrow\u2019s Bengals and Lamar Jackon\u2019s Ravens.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      Cincinnati is looking to escape a 2-0 start to the season, while the Ravens are hoping to establish themselves as legitimate contenders against the two-time division champions.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      The Bengals had one of the most disappointing performances of Week 1 \u2013 Burrow played arguably the worst game of his career, passing for a career-low 82 yards and getting sacked twice during the 24-3 loss to the Cleveland Browns.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      While a sluggish start to the season is never ideal, the Bengals are in familiar territory. In 2022, Cincinnati opened the season with back-to-back single-digit losses to the Pittsburgh Steelers and Dallas Cowboys. They then went on to complete a 12-4 regular season and made it to the AFC championship.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      The biggest challenge for the Ravens will be overcoming injuries. Baltimore will be minus four starters. Cornerback Marlon Humphrey and safety Marcus Williams have been ruled out on the defensive side. Ronnie Stanley and Tyler Linderbaum, two of Baltimore\u2019s best offensive linemen, will also be sidelined. Without Stanley and Linderbaum, the Raven\u2019s backup offensive linemen could be the difference-makers in this matchup.  <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"subheader\">    Kansas City Chiefs @ Jacksonville Jaguars, 1 p.m., CBS<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      Defending Super Bowl champions Chiefs will meet a familiar foe in Week 2. The teams met two times last season, with Kansas City securing two victories. The second of those came in the AFC Divisional round, a heartbreaking loss for the Jaguars that ended their most successful season since 2017.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      Two key pieces of the Chiefs roster should be making their season debuts against the Jaguars. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said on Friday he expects star tight end Travis Kelce and defensive tackle Chris Jones to be active on Sunday.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      Kelce missed the season opener against the Lions due to a hyper-extended knee,  Jones missed the season opener because his contract details had not been finalized. Those two players will significantly improve Kansas City\u2019s chances.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      Former Chiefs offensive coordinator Doug Pederson and third-year quarterback Trevor Lawrence lead the charge out of Jacksonville.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      Lawrence\u2019s go-to target in Week 1 was wide receiver Calvin Ridley, who saw 11 targets and caught eight passes for 101 yards and a touchdown in his Jaguars debut. The duo make Jacksonville a stronger offensive unit than in 2022.  <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"subheader\">    New York Jets @ Dallas Cowboys, 4.25 p.m., CBS<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      The New York Jets\u2019 most highly-anticipated season in recent history began disastrously as four-time MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers tore his Achilles tendon just four snaps into his debut.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      The squad managed to squeak out an overtime win, shining a beam of hope on an otherwise discouraging evening. Week 2 begins a new chapter as the Jets travel to Texas to face one of the top defensive units in the NFL.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      The Cowboys\u2019 season opener could not have gone any better as Dallas served a 40-0 drubbing to the New York Giants on Sunday Night Football.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      Led by defensive powerhouses Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence, the Cowboys are likely chomping at the bit to ruin the Jets\u2019 backup quarterback Zach Wilson\u2019s first showing as Rodgers\u2019 successor.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      Wilson enters the matchup with a dismal 8-14 record as a starter. He\u2019s thrown more interceptions than touchdowns and has a completion percentage of just 55%. The 24-year-old will have his work cut out for him, facing a defense that just last week racked up seven sacks, 12 QB hits, and a pick-six against Giants quarterback Daniel Jones.  <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"subheader\">    Monday Night Football double-header<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      Closing out Week 2, Monday Night Football will feature two games on separate networks with staggered kickoff times. New Orleans at Carolina kicks off at 7:15 p.m. on ESPN, and Cleveland at Pittsburgh begins at 8:15 p.m. on ABC.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      For fans concerned about missing any action while the games overlap, both broadcasters will keep viewers in the loop with what is happening on the other network.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      Beginning at 8:15 p.m, the broadcasts will periodically activate double-box views and alternate score boxes, as well as provide halftime updates of the other matchup.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      The Monday Night Football double-feature is the first of three this season, occurring again in Week 3 and Week 14.  <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"subheader\">    Schedule<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      <strong>Sunday\u00a0<\/strong>  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      Green Bay Packers @ Atlanta Falcons, 1:00 p.m. ET  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      Las Vegas Raiders @ Buffalo Bills, 1:00 p.m. ET  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      Baltimore Ravens @ Cincinnati Bengals, 1:00 p.m. ET  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      Seattle Seahawks @ Detroit Lions, 1:00 p.m. ET  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      Indianapolis Colts @ Houston Texans, 1:00 p.m. ET  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      Kansas City @ Jacksonville Jaguars, 1:00 p.m. ET  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      Chicago Bears @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 1:00 p.m. ET  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      Los Angeles @ Tennessee Titans, 1:00 p.m. ET  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      New York Giants @ Arizona Cardinals, 4:05 p.m. ET  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      San Francisco 49ers @ Los Angeles Rams, 4:05 p.m. ET  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      New York Jets @ Dallas Cowboys, 4:25 p.m. ET  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      Washington Commanders @ Denver Broncos, 4:25 p.m. ET  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      Miami Dolphins @ New England Patriots, 8:20 P.M.
