NFL Scores Week 2 2013: Manning Brothers Third Matchup Highlights Weekend Football Action
Brothers Eli and Peyton Manning stole the spotlight on Sunday as the two met on the field for the third "Manning Bowl" since 2006, and as usual, older brother Peyton came out on top.
Peyton threw for a pair of touchdowns behind a strong running game and the older Manning brother led the Broncos over the Giants to highlight the second week of action in the NFL. After the game started off with a close 10-9 score at the half, the Broncos pulled away and won easily, 41-23.
In other games around the league on Sunday, the Washington Redskins fell to 0-2 after Aaron Rodgers and the Packers kicked the offense into gear. Rodgers threw four touchdowns and had a career high 480 yards passing. Running back James Starks also had a big day as he rushed for 132 yards on the ground.
No NFC East teams found the win column this week. The Eagles fell to the San Diego Chargers in a high-scoring game and the Dallas Cowboys lost to their former rival, Andy Reid, who now is the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs have already gone from having the worst team in the league last year to being undefeated in the first two games of the year.
"When you're trying to build something, you need to win games like this," said Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith, who came over from San Francisco." These are the games you look at in November and December. You need these types of wins, not only the caliber of the win but the style of win."
Smith's old team lost last night in the Primetime matchup against the Seahawks, 29-3. Tonight's primetime game will wrap up Week 2 as the Pittsburgh Steelers square off against the Cincinnati Bengals at Paul Brown Stadium.
