The Seattle Seahawks will travel to Los Angeles on Sunday to play the LA Rams in what will be the first home game for the Rams in their new home. The Rams will have to put on a very solid performance to defeat a strong Seahawks team, and especially after their poor performance in Week 1, many may be worried about how today's home opener will turn out for the Rams.
The game has a scheduled start time of 4.05 p.m. ET and takes place from LA Memorial Coliseum. The game can be watched on TV on the Fox network or online through live stream via the link below.
The Seahawks came through a tough test in Week 1, claiming a victory in a low scoring game against the Miami Dolphins. The home opener for Seattle ended just 12-10, but the Seahawks players will take that and will know that the results are the most important thing at this point in the season to lay a solid foundation for a Playoffs push later on.
The Rams meanwhile had a torrid season opener last week. They were completely shut down by the San Francisco 49ers and they come into Week 2 not just looking for their first win, but still looking for their first point.
Earlier this week on Thursday Night Football the New York Jets achieved their first win of the season as they defeated their in-state rivals, the Buffalo Bills 37-31.
The Jets had opened up their season with a disappointing loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, where they looked like they were still in pre-season. However, the Jets woke up on Thursday night, and put on a much more explosive display.
Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick completed an impressive 24 of 34 passes for 374 yards as he took apart the Bills' secondary with the help of wide receivers Eric Decker, Brandon Marshall and Quincy Enunwa.
Decker put on a stellar performance with six catches and a touchdown, and moved to 18 straight games recording at least 80 receiving yards or a touchdown.
Marshall meanwhile also had a fantastic game, recording six catches for 101 yards. He did give the Jets a scare in the second quarter when he went down with a knee injury. Marshall made a 15 yard reception but went down under Bills cornerback Stephon Gilmore. Marshall was down on the field for several minutes.
Marshall said after the game: "I thought I was done. I thought I was going to be finishing in my backyard in Florida."
However, even though he departed the field with the help of trainers, he returned to the game and continued to tease the Bills' defense.
Fitzpatrick later said, "Brandon is one of the tougher guys you'll ever see. They were looking at his knee, and I didn't think it was good. To see him on the ground in pain, I knew something was wrong. But then, when he stepped back in the huddle later on, it was a big surprise, but relief as well."
Tyrod Taylor tried to get the Bills offense going, and completed 18 of 30 for 297 yards and three touchdowns, however, Buffalo were just too inconsistent throughout the night and lacked efficiency in their play.
Week 2 continues today and the Seattle Seahawks and the Los Angeles Rams will take to the field to start at 4.05 p.m. ET. The game can be watched on TV on the Fox network or online through live stream by clicking here.
