Week 2 was an NFC battle between Big Ben and his Chicago Bears againt Cam Newton and his new team, the Seattle Seahawks. The Chicago Bears continue to have no head coach and it really showed in this game. Seattle jumped out to a quick lead and would slam the door on the Bears early.

Newton almost doubled his pass attempts from week 1(10) completing 11 of 19 passes for 191 yards and 1 TD. As Coach Mo promised WR Tyler Lockett took on a much bigger role with WR Gavin Dildine still sidelined with the broken ribs he suffered in week 1. Lockett caught 9 balls for 151 yards and 1 TD. New Seahawks WR Robert Woods and TE Zach Ertz both notched their first catches of the season. 

The real standouts once again were the entire defensive unit and the Seahawks rushing attack. The defense allowed only 6 points while forcing 2 turnovers and notching 3 sacks. Rookie HB Frank Bethel continues to shine early on this season posting 25 carries for 152 yards and 3 TDs. If Bethel can come anywhere near the current 7.0 yards per carry he is averaging it will provide a huge boost to a Seahawk team that sorely missed a rushing attack the last 2 seasons.

Week 3 will be a very tough test and a true benchmark for this years Seattle team as they take on the New England Patriots who narrowly lost in the Superbowl last season. The Patriots have what most people consider the best team on paper. Keep your eyes peeled for our week 3 recap after this pivotal matchup next week.
