Week 2: Five NFL story lines
September 13, 2014 at 10:11AM
1 Meanwhile, in Carolina … Greg Hardy continues to play
Panthers defensive end Greg Hardy, who has not been suspended for a summer domestic violence conviction, will start Sunday against Detroit with no new developments in his case.
2 Look who's on top Early AFC East showdown
The Dolphins haven't had a winning season since 2008, the Bills since 2004 (!). But one of these two will be 2-0 and atop the AFC East after they play Sunday.
3 'He's won two Super Bowls' Eli Manning's struggles Ø
Giants quarterback Eli Manning certainly has his fair share of critics, and he didn't help quiet them any Monday at Detroit. He will try to get right against the talented Cardinals secondary.
4 One week in and falling apart Kansas City fighting injuries
The Chiefs, who started 9-0 a year ago, not only lost their opener at home to Tennessee, but they also suffered three season-ending injuries to starters and face an 0-2 start with a visit to Denver.
5 No Zimmer, no problem Bengals defense moves on
The Cincinnati D looked just fine in Week 1 without Mike Zimmer running the show. But it gets a stiffer test in Week 2 with Matt Ryan in town.
Mike Conley was in Minneapolis, where he sounded the Gjallarhorn at the Vikings game, on Sunday during the robbery.
