NFL Week 2 Game Balls

Each week we give out three game balls to three players/units…and the Week 2 balls go to…

Greg Zuerlein

This may have gone to the entire Dallas Cowboys special teams unit had they not flubbed two fake punts. Instead, it’s going to Greg Zuerlein. The artist known as Legatron hit the game-winning field goal to cap off the Cowboys improbably comeback, but not before he came up with the play of the game. Down 39-37, he delivered one of the best and most unique onside kicks I’ve seen.

Colts Defense

The Vikings have some real weapons and a Pro Bowl quarterback that’s getting paid a lot of money to move the chains and put points on the board. In Week 2, none of that mattered because the Colts defense showed up and created havoc. Indy held the Vikings to 175 total yards while picking off Kirk Cousins three times. Combined, the Vikings only had eight rushing/passing first downs.

Darren Waller

Waller’s story is awesome, first of all, having fought through addiction issues to become one of the league’s premier tight ends and Derek Carr‘s favorite target. On Monday Night Football, he led the Raiders to a win in their first game at brand new Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. He finished with 12 catches for 103 yards and a touchdown.
