NFL Week 2: Thursday Night Football Key Takeaways

While it was an ugly game, Bruce Arians and Jameis Winston get to eat their first W together as a head coach/quarterback duo. The kickoff to NFL Week 2 was a weird one, starting off with an out-of-the-norm rain delay with the game containing several penalties, inaccurate deep passes, odd usages of players, suspect officiating, one of the saddest attempts at a game-winning drive and just a sprinkle of the big-time throw. In the words of David Spade in the movie Tommy Boy, this game was like a bad Twilight Zone.

All jokes aside, we learned a lot about both the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Carolina Panthers in this strange matchup that ended in a Bucs victory.
