NFL WEEK TWO RECAP

This past week in the NFL has been an absolute night mare for not just the front office but for frustrated fans, with or against the decisions of the NFL. The indecisiveness of the NFL has shown as they have tried to keep their composure and professionalism through this hectic and confusing time. Adrian Peterson was announced monday to be reinstated by the Vikings for week three against the Saints, after being charged with child negliate and abuse to his son. This comes after a few years prior Peterson was facing the death of his youngest son, do his Ex's boyfriends abuse to his son. In the Ray Rice case, tuesday things turned. Ray Rice and the NFL players union decided tuesday, they would appeal the "indefinite suspension" of Rice. This comes after commissioner Roger Goodell suspended the running back indefinitely following the release of the domestic abuse tape of Rice beating his then fiance. The NFL has alot of business that has been dealt with within the last week and this seems to be the beginning to addressing some even larger issues within the organization.

Now continuing on the week two match-ups in NFL. There were alot of interesting comeback stories and games in week two of the NFL season but one game that particularly stood out to me was the NEW YORK JETS vs GREEN BAY PACKERS. The jets came into this game 1-0, after winning week one against the Raiders. Week two they would be playing on Lambeau Field as they took on the Packers. The Packers different then that of the jets, lost week one against the Seahawks and hoped that week two would have a different game outcome. First quarter the jets go out strong as they would put up two touchdowns within the first minutes of the ball game forcing the Packers to go back to the drawing board. By the end of the first the packers would respond with a 31 yard field goal by Mason Crosby. Second quarter the the jets would begin strong but the Packers would eventually come to their senses, scoring on three consecutive drives to end the first half. The second half would be thriller as the Packers would begin the third quarter strong. Packers Aaron Rodgers would throw a 1 yard pass to Randall Cobb for the touchdown giving the Packers their first lead of the game. The jets would respond with a scoring drive of their own as Nick Folk would kick a 52 yard field goal. The packers would follow up with a scoring drive, as quarter back Aaron Rodgers would throw a 52 yard pass to Jordy Nelson for the touchdown. Both teams would even out in the fourth as exhaustion would set in, and the Jets would miss a possible game tieing field goal to close the fourth quarter. The Packers would come back to win the thriller 31-24.
