(2-0). Previous: . Arizona Cardinals. 3. team. 32.

David Johnson is the name to know out of Arizona now. According to ESPN, Johnson has a touchdown from rushing, receiving, and a kick return this season and the Cardinals have no intentions of slowing down so far.

After beating the Saints, Bruce Arian and company traveled to Chicago to take on the Bears who were still attempting to recover from their loss against the Packers, but the Cards were in no mood for mercy. Carson Palmer threw for 4 TDs and just 1 INT and David Johnson was on the board again with a rushing TD as they strolled out of Soldier Field with a 48-23 win.

If they keep it up, Arizona will be a strong contender in the NFC West. The Cardinals host San Fransisco next Sunday.

45. . (2-0). Previous: . Denver Broncos. 4. team

After a riveting week one game and grind with the Baltimore Ravens, the Broncos went into week two on high hopes and in good spirit (see Peyton Manning‘s journalist injury report). The Kansas City Chiefs were up next and presented a good challenge, though the secondary failed to take advantage of multiple Manning errors and Alex Smith turned the ball over too many times to start a comeback as they fell to the Broncos, 31-24.

Manning, though, is part of the problem as Denver’s offense took another dip this week. Instead it’s the defense taking charge, ranked 2nd in fewest yards per snap going into week 3.

The Broncos travel to Detroit to take on the Lions next Sunday.
