The second week of the NFL season is going on now with plenty of exciting games around the league and after the Green Bay Packers and Washington Redskins finish the game that Aaron Rodgers is dominating, the New Orleans Saints and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will play at 4:05 PM on Fox.
The Saints are already dominating in passing yards this season through one game and rank fifth in the league after Brees passed for over 350 yards in Week 1 against the Falcons and the team is coming in after a nice 23-17 win at home against Atlanta. The team did not do so well running the ball with Pierre Thomas and Mark Ingram and that won't get any easier on Sunday with last season's number one ranked rush defense by average yardage hosting in the Buccaneers.

The Saints are ranked 20th in passing yards allowed and 19th in rushing yards and that could mean a nice day for Doug Martin on offense. The Buccaneers are next on the schedule before the team returns home to play the Arizona Cardinals and then the team will play the Miami Dolphins on Monday night football before playing the Patriots on the road and that comes right before their bye in Week 7. The team then plays the Buffalo Bills and then the team will go on the road against the New York Jets and then the team plays two tough home games with the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers, which is a rematch of that amazing game they had in the playoffs a couple years ago.
The Falcons are next on the schedule and this rough stretch continues with their second Monday night game against the Seattle Seahawks on December 2 and then the team is on the road against the Rams and the Panthers before finishing against the Buccaneers at home. The Bucs are reeling from their dumb loss to the Jets that saw the team take an awful penalty to give the Jets the game and now the team will play the Saints and the Patriots before playing the Cardinals ahead of their bye in Week 5.
The team then will play the Eagles and on the road against the Falcons before a home game on Thursday against the Panthers. The team has a tough West trip for Seattle against the Seahawks next before playing the Dolphins on Monday night football and then the team will play at home against the Falcons. The Bucs then travel to Detroit and Carolina for two straight games and then will host the Buffalo Bills and San Francisco 49ers next. The team finishes the season with road games against the Rams and the New Orleans Saints.

The night game on Sunday is the most entertaining game of the week, as the Seattle Seahawks and the San Francisco 49ers will play against each other. The Seattle Seahawks did not play their best football on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, but despite their offensive struggles at getting into the endzone, the team left with the important win to start the year and now they will play their next game against a tough team in the division rival 49ers at home.
The game will be on Sunday night football meaning some owners will be trying to decide who to start and who to sit heading into the week and that could be a big issue for this game. It could easily be the best game of the week.
