[Week 2 schedule | NFL Week 2 live blog]
The Week 2 early afternoon slate is loaded with nine games, including Ben Johnson’s first trip back to Detroit as Chicago’s head coach. The Lions have dominated this series recently, winning five of the last six meetings. Both teams enter this week hoping to avoid falling to 0-2 and occupying the NFC North cellar.

Among the biggest news so far in the 1 p.m. game slate is an injury to Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, who exited Week 2’s contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars with what the team announced as a toe injury. Burrow took a sack for a five-yard loss from Jaguars DT Arik Armstead and was down for a bit as his ankle was examined in the second quarter.
Burow left the field and was helped to the locker room, limping heavily, with the assistance of two trainers. He was replaced by backup quarterback Jake Browning. The team officially deemed Burrow as questionable to return ahead of the third quarter, and Browning started at quarterback in the second half.

Bills quarterback Josh Allen also had an injury scare this week, exiting with a nose injury and being replaced briefly by backup Mitch Trubisky. He returned to the lineup several plays later, though, after being tended to on the sideline.
