Everyone has a bad day at the office, including NFL quarterbacks. But for some, Sunday was a nightmare. From another horrific Bryce Young outing to dual problematic games from last year’s two NFC Championship Game quarterbacks, here are the five worst quarterback performances from Week 2. 1.

The Detroit Lions dropped a tough one at home to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. The Lions lost 20-16 despite the best efforts of Aidan Hutchinson. The third-year defensive end racked up 4.5 sacks in the loss, dominating with his pass rush. Hutchinson had an amazing game, as did the Lions defense for the
The Houston Texans will welcome the Chicago Bears to NRG Stadium for a Week 2, “Sunday Night Football” matchup. The Texans and Bears have only faced off six times in their histories, with Houston holding a 4-2 series lead. The home teams have previously done well in this game, securing the last three wins.
Time to think long and hard about who the Player of the Game award goes to for Week 2? Ok, that’s long enough. It’s Aidan Hutchinson. No need for a dramatic pause. The dude had 4.5 sacks against the Buccaneers and quarterback Baker Mayfield — one of his sacks was credited as a half-sack to
In a game many expected to be a shootout, it turned into a defensive struggle as the Detroit Lions fell to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 20-16, dropping to 1-1 on the season. The Lions’ defense dominated, applying consistent pressure on Baker Mayfield and completely shutting down the Buccaneers’ run game. Typically, this would be a
We all knew that repeating an NFC Championship appearance would be difficult for the Detroit Lions, but we did not envision a struggle like this. After pulling out a victory with overtime heroics in Week 1, the Lions could not muster a similar result against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 2, falling to 1-1…
It’s only been two weeks, but the Detroit Lions have been leading the league in surprise inactives. In Week 1 it was James Houston, in Week 2 it was second-round pick Ennis Rakestraw. Now we know why. It wasn’t because he was a healthy scratch and it wasn’t a punishment thing, it’s because Rakestraw got
Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell said an error that cost the team three points at the end of the first half was completely his fault. “(I) totally screwed my team,” Campbell told the FOX broadcast at halftime. “That is mine, we’re going for the clock, clock it, it’s not a Hurricane (call). I made a…
The Detroit Lions offense was one of the best in the league last year, but they’re off to a slow start in 2024, and this time it cost them a chance at victory. After putting up 20 points in regulation last week, Detroit managed just 16 this week, despite SEVEN trips into the red zone.
After the Lions beat them in Week 6 last season and later ended their season in the Divisional Round of the NFC playoffs, the Bucs headed up to Detroit again for a Week 2 matchup at Ford Field looking for some revenge. And against the odds, Todd Bowles’ team did just that, using a huge
Containing Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown As much as Jared Goff has given the Bucs fits, Amon-Ra St. Brown is a big reason why. That did not stop in this one, as St. Brown showed why he is one of the best wide receivers in the NFL. He was targeted often – look no further
Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell is at it again. Campbell made a trademark gutsy call, dialing up a fake punt in the second quarter against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from the Lions’ 20-yard line. Punter Jack Fox lobbed a pass for rookie Sione Vaki, and the Lions managed to pick up the first on
The Detroit Lions blew an opportunity to put some much-needed points on the board at the end of the first half. Trailing Tampa Bay 13-6 but in the red zone with a chance to score, a horribly botched sequence by the Lions offense kept Detroit from getting points. The sequence concluded with confusion between clocking
The Detroit Lions have declared their inactives ahead of the Week 2 matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The big news is that All-Pro right tackle Penei Sewell is active and will start, despite dealing with an ankle injury. Sewell is an incredibly important cog in the Lions offense scheme and his presence will allow…
