Plus, Marvin Harrison Jr. is maybe not a total bust like the Week 1 discourse suggested.
The second week of the NFL season has just about come and gone and it appears that upsets are on the menu!
We saw the Minnesota Vikings take out the San Francisco 49ers, the New Orleans Saints demolish the Dallas Cowboys and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers stun the Detroit Lions. All three of those winners are now 2-0 on the season… maybe there is a new status quo in the NFC.

Lane Kiffin seems very annoyed with Wake Forest.
Ole Miss traveled to Winston-Salem, North Carolina this past Saturday and destroyed the Demon Deacons 40-6.
The beatdown was so bad that Wake Forest decided to cancel its 2025 game against Ole Miss in Oxford. The Demon Deacons are paying $1 million to *NOT* play the Rebels.
Lane Kiffin isn’t pleased about the decision.
Kiffin addressed the media Monday, and touched on the fact Ole Miss will now have to scramble to fill the opening in its 2025 schedule.
“A very abnormal thing for Wake to do. I’ll put it in neutral words.

Yes, this victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football is big for the Atlanta Falcons. But it’s bigger and way more meaningful for quarterback Kirk Cousins. 
Cousins delivered a game-deciding touchdown pass with 38 seconds to play and that gave the Falcons their first victory of the season, which is obviously important. But, you know what’s also important?
The starting quarterback silencing a chorus of doubters saying he’s not healthy. 
Or calling for his benching.
Or begging for rookie Michael Penix Jr.

The problems the Seminoles are facing are no one’s fault but their own.
To say that this has been a disaster of an opening stretch to the season for the Florida State Seminoles would be an understatement. The Seminoles have gone from a top-10 team in the preseason polls to 0-3 against the likes of Georgia Tech, Boston College and now Memphis, with two of those games being at home.

Carolina’s Bryce Young trade is an all-time disaster.
All the Houston Texans had to do was lose in the final game of the NFL season to earn the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Houston was just 2-13-1 on the year as it entered its season finale vs. a hapless Indianapolis Colts team whose 4-11-1 record somehow looked impressive by comparison. With such a valuable draft pick on the line, the Texans were widely expected to tank the game and head into the offseason with the ultimate bargaining chip.
Head coach Lovie Smith had other plans.

Think you can figure out what NFL player we’re talking about? You’ll get five clues to figure him out.
We’re back for another day of the SB Nation in-5 daily trivia game. Just a reminder that this remains a beta that we’re testing out this week.

Money, money, and more money. It’s the only thing that has mattered in the world of professional golf for well over a year when the PGA Tour and Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) announced a framework agreement in June 2023, and now negotiations between the two sides could fall through because of, you guessed it, money.
Representatives from the PGA Tour and Saudi PIF controversially met in New York last week looking to inch closer to a deal that would end what many have said is a ‘civil war’ in golf between the Tour and LIV Golf, which the Saudis solely fund.

Let’s rank the NFL’s 0-2 teams from worst to best.
Traditionally, an 0-2 start doomed an NFL team’s playoff chances.
But recent changes in the league — the move to a 14-team playoff format and the increase to a 17-game schedule — have made such a start easier to overcome. For example, back in 2022 the Cincinnati Bengals began the year with a pair of losses, but ended their season in the AFC Championship Game. A year ago the Houston Texans started 0-2, but bounced back to win the division and a Wild Card Game.

The UEFA Champions League begins this week, here’s how to watch Real Madrid play Stuttgart in their first match of the season.

Peyton Manning was shocked by what he saw late in the Eagles/Falcons game Monday night.
The Falcons pulled off an incredible game-winning drive late in the game after the Eagles took a 21-15 lead with about 1:39 remaining.
Kirk Cousins and company left the field with a stunning 22-21 victory, but it was only allowed to happen due to a shocking mistake on third and short deep in Atlanta territory.
The Eagles had the ball on Atlanta’s 10 yard line on third and goal with the Falcons having no timeouts with 1:46 left in the game.
The play call in a situation like this is obvious.
