This evening, week 2 in the NFL comes to a close with a doubleheader on Monday Night Football. Tonight’s twin bill is the first of the season and starts off a stretch that will feature five doubleheaders in six weeks, with the schedule also featuring two games each in weeks 4, 6, and 7.
Thankfully for Green Bay Packers fans, this evening’s games have little impact on the green and gold, with three of the four participating teams being in the AFC and the fourth playing in the NFC South. In fact, none
of these four teams are on the Packers’ schedule at all this season.
The first game figures to be a bit of an offensive battle as the Buccaneers face the Texans. Former college teammates will be on opposite sidelines of this one, with Tampa’s rookie receiver Emeka Egbuka watching his old college quarterback, C.J. Stroud, lead the Houston offense. Then the nightcap is out west as the Chargers — who managed to avoid Chargering in a narrow week 1 win over the Chiefs — visit Pete Carroll’s Raiders.
