Week 2 certainly had its share of exciting games, starting with the Atlanta Falcons’ thrilling comeback over the Green Bay Packers and the Seattle Seahawks’ overtime victory over the Detroit Lions. The late-afternoon slate had some classic comebacks, too, as the New York Giants rallied from 21 points down to beat the Arizona Cardinals — tying the largest comeback in franchise history.
