[Week 2 schedule<\/a> | NFL Week 2 live blog<\/a>]<\/p>\n

The Week 2 early afternoon slate is loaded with nine games, including Russell Wilson’s first trip to Dallas while leading the New York Giants.<\/p>\n

While that got off to a solid start for him \u2014 they took a 13-3 lead early, thanks in part to a 29-yard touchdown toss to Malik Nabers in the second quarter \u2014 the Cowboys finally rallied to make it a game. Dak Prescott found KaVontae Turpin for a 10-yard score just before halftime, and then Javonte Williams broke open a 30-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter to give the Cowboys the lead for the first time all afternoon. Though it’s only Week 2 of the season, the game will carry significant NFC East weight, as the loser of the game will fall to 0-2 inside the division.<\/p>\n

Both teams exploded on offense in the fourth quarter with seven total scoring drives combined between the Giants and Cowboys, with Dallas kicker Brandon Aubrey making a stunning 64-yard field goal to tie up the game as the clock expired in regulation. The Giants and Cowboys enter overtime with the score tied 37-37.<\/p>\n

After exchanging several drives in the overtime period, Wilson threw an interception to set up the final drive of the game, punctuated with a 46-yard field goal from Aubrey to give the Cowboys their first win of the season.<\/p>\n

The other early afternoon games also featured Chicago at Detroit, Jacksonville at Cincinnati, New England at Miami, San Francisco at New Orleans, Los Angeles [Rams] at Tennessee, Buffalo at New York [Jets], Seattle at Pittsburgh, and Cleveland at Baltimore.<\/p>\n

Among the biggest news in the 1 p.m. game slate was 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<\/a>. 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. He underwent a mid-game MRI and was eventually ruled out, replaced by backup Jake Browning.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
