Super Bowl champions Seattle look the real deal again after beating the Arizona Cardinals 31-7 for a 12th straight win.<\/p>\n
Drew Lock showed he is no ordinary back-up quarterback with three touchdown passes to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, including an 82 yarder that is the longest of the talented receiver’s career. <\/p>\n
The Seahawks lost Walker to the Chiefs but have retained a remarkable 17 of 22 starters and 44 of their 53-man roster from last season’s title win.<\/p>\n
That consistency should see them go close again, but they’ll face a rejuvenated San Francisco 49ers in their division, who are also 2-0 after beating the Miami Dolphins 35-15.<\/p>\n
Showing no signs of jet leg from their victory over the Los Angeles Rams in Australia, the Niners scored touchdowns on their first five possessions to blow Miami away – Christian McCaffrey scored twice, George Kittle also found the end zone and Brock Purdy accounted for three scores.<\/p>\n
With the 49ers having their defensive stars back from injury Kyle Shanahan’s squad look the total package once again.<\/p>\n
The Cincinnati Bengals also look more well rounded this season after winning a 20-6 battle in Houston, thanks to an early touchdown of the season contender catch from Ja’Marr Chase.<\/p>\n
We expect fireworks from Chase and Joe Burrow, but having a defence capable of keeping CJ Stroud out of the end zone, and sacking him four times in a road game is the biggest reason for optimism among Bengals fans.<\/p>\n
The Philadelphia Eagles were on the ropes against the Tennessee Titans until Jalen Hurts threw the winning touchdown pass to Darius Cooper with just nine seconds left in the game.<\/p>\n
Although not as impressive overall as other 2-0 sides, that ability to win games at the death is a familiar trait with Philly – and will make them dangerous all season again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Super Bowl champions Seattle look the real deal again after beating the Arizona Cardinals 31-7 for a 12th…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":903877,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[436],"tags":[49,48,514,82],"class_list":["post-903876","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/903876","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=903876"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/903876\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/903877"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=903876"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=903876"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=903876"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
