The Seattle Seahawks and Chicago Bears kicked off Week 2 of the preseason on Thursday in Seattle.
Second-year quarterback Justin Fields looked sharp for the Bears in his lone drive to begin the game, while Seahawks starter Geno Smith and the offensive unit struggled to pick up first downs in their first couple of drives.
In the early game Friday night, New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones overcame a shaky start and two three-and-outs to lead the offense on a second-quarter scoring drive against the Carolina Panthers before his night was over.
The Green Bay Packers topped the New Orleans Saints behind a roller-coaster night from rookie wide receiver Romeo Doubs, who had a touchdown catch but also a couple of drops. Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, undrafted Rams wide receiver Lance McCutcheon had a standout performance for the second straight week.
Saturday brought an eight-game sled that featured the Buffalo Bills rolling over the Denver Broncos early, Pittsburgh Steelers rookie QB Kenny Pickett impressing against the Jacksonville Jaguars and Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa getting his first live-game action against the Las Vegas Raiders.
The week of games will continue Sunday -- with three on tap -- before wrapping up on Monday Night Football with the Atlanta Falcons at the New York Jets (8 p.m. ET, ESPN).
