The second week of the 2023/24 NFL season is history, and all the teams are already showing their claws in this championship start.
Unlike week 1, in this week 2 we had results a little more in line with what we expected, since the favorite teams mostly achieved victories. However, the Bengals could not win at home against the Ravens, and the Carolina Panthers could not win against the Saints.
Similarly, we also saw the first win of the season for the Chiefs and Bills, while the Buccaneers, 49ers, Eagles, and Dolphins added the second win.

Finally, another of the teams favored to win this season’s Vince Lombardi Trophy, the San Francisco 49ers, sealed their second victory by defeating the Los Angeles Rams 30-23 at SoFi Stadium.
Matthew Stafford did not have his best night and was one of the main reasons the home team could not do much in the game.
The 49ers started this game with a good rhythm and a great defense, as they got a 7-3 partial victory in the first quarter. Then, the locals evened the score 17-17 after two successful offenses in the second quarter.
