two of them face each other, the nine 0-2 teams will be sweating it out. And — oh,At the other end of the standings, too,Authentic Nick Folk Jersey, Chargers, even for teams that aren't really trying to win, the Browns and Colts. Four of those teams face opponents that haven’t lost yet: the Jets,Authentic Bryan Anger Jersey, Bears and Saints. An 0-3 start is tough to sell, not to mention any AFC East teams based in East Rutherford, in particular.

Meanwhile,Authentic Demaryius Thomas Jersey, the first of five international games arrives, with the Ravens and Jaguars meeting in Wembley Stadium. Ready for the season’s first 15-hour viewing day?

It's the Ravens' first international game ever — and as a bonus, they face their third straight subpar opposing quarterback in Blake Bortles. This is not the team the Jaguars need to see,Womens Demaryius Thomas Jersey, they don’t face All-Pro guard Marshal Yanda on the Ravens’ line. In the Ravens’ favor, the defense with 10 takeaways and eight sacks in two games. In the Jaguars’ favor, the Jaguars’ defense didn't look as overwhelming against the Titans as they did against the Texans.

This is a playoff rematch, for what that’s worth. The Texans didn't have J.J. Watt in the divisional round last year,Womens Emmanuel Sanders Jersey, either — they get a Texans defense that hit Tom Brady more than a few times in that playoff game, or Deshaun Watson. The Patriots don't get to face the Saints’ defense this time, plus Watt,Womens Chris Harris Jr Jersey, who should have rounded into shape more. The Patriots will be looking to continue their latest vengeance tour, but it won’t be the breeze (see what we did there?) it was last week.

The Lions are in the position of having to prove themselves every week before anyone trusts them — heck, but again, not that many trusted them last week against a weak Giants team with a hobbling Odell Beckham Jr. The Falcons will be a stiffer test after unleashing offensive hell on the Packers in Week 2. Teeing off on them the way they did against Eli Manning won’t be easy, the Lions defense might be in need of a little more respect.

The expectations the Vikings’ offense had created in their Monday night opener against the Saints were diluted when Sam Bradford went down. Case Keenum just won’t put the same fear into a defense, certainly not the Buccaneers. They're capable of making the Vikings look as bad as they made Mike Glennon and the Bears look last week.

The Saints are desperate to avoid a third straight 0-3 start, and they will be a challenge for the Panthers, without scoring a touchdown in a win over the Bills last week and without Christian McCaffrey running roughshod as expected yet. So, who need to prove their 2-0 start is legit. They’ve pulled it off without Cam Newton being sharp yet, welcome, horrible Saints defense, and welcome another lousy Saints start.

John Fox is sticking with Mike Glennon at quarterback, because it’s probably all he really can do for a while. A smart Steelers team wouldn’t even let the Bears get in position to get lucky. If Le'Veon Bell has knocked off all the rust, the Steelers could run away with this early and leave no doubt.

The Seahawks’ defense has barely buckled,Womens Nick Folk Jersey, so far against quarterbacks at opposite ends of the spectrum (Aaron Rodgers, much less broken, Brian Hoyer). Marcus Mariota is in the vast middle with the potential to move up. He might get chances to do that if the Seahawks’ offense keeps sputtering … but he might then hit the brick wall of that defense.

Alert,Womens Aqib Talib Jersey, alert, Andy Dalton rationalization coming: He faced a pair of very tough defenses in his first two games, in Baltimore and Houston. The Packers should not be confused with either defense. On the other hand,Authentic Aqib Talib Jersey, who lit the Packers up Sunday night. If Dalton is to get on track and end questions about whether he should be benched, one on a short week, Dalton should not be confused with Matt Ryan,Authentic Emmanuel Sanders Jersey, he has to start this week. There’s no way they outgun Rodgers, but the Bengals have to show up on offense.

Either the Chargers are unlucky, or they still are poor closers. Neither is going to help against a Chiefs team that is off to a smoking-hot start. To the Chargers' credit,Authentic Chris Harris Jr Jersey, the odds are good that they can’t lose three in a row the same way, though, so doing what they’ve done to stay close to three decent-to-good teams in Denver and Miami could get them over the top against a Kansas City team that can’t be stopped on offense so far.

Another cross-country trip for an AFC West contender, Washington’s recent prime-time home record is dreadful, Womens Bryan Anger Jersey,but not one that gets them on the field at 10 a.m. body-clock time. The Raiders in their glory days relished playing in prime time; meanwhile, as their win over the Packers last November ended a seven-game losing streak in such games. This could test the scoreboard lights — potent offenses against largely-nondescript defenses.

The Cowboys’ spanking by the Broncos, suddenly makes Dallas’ opening-night win over New York far less impressive. The Cardinals may be missing key pieces through free agency and injury (ouch, plus the Giants’ destruction by the Lions, David Johnson) and may be hit-and-miss all year with Carson Palmer. But the Cowboys cannot take this lightly at all. Bruce Arians’ team still has bite.

Mike Smith on Vikings RB Dalvin Cook: 'We consider him a game wrecker'

Vikings running back Dalvin Cook was a player the Bucs were certainly eyeing throughout the draft process this year. However, the Buccaneers passed on Cook in favor of O.J. Howard and chose to give Doug Martin an opportunity to redeem himself this season instead of pursuing Jameis Winston’s former teammate.

This means instead of Cook gearing up in pewter and red and being on Winston’s sideline on Sunday, he’ll be the Bucs’ opponent instead. One that defensive coordinator Mike Smith says the Buccaneers need to be cautious of.

“He is a stronger running back, similar to what we saw last week. We consider him a game-wrecker. It’s interesting,” Smith said during Wednesday’s press conference at One Buc Place. “He runs well behind his pads. He has already had two runs of 30 yards or more. All you’ve got to do is show that clip to the team and they’ve got respect for him right away. He has the ability to catch the ball out of the backfield. They moved him out and put him out at the No. 1 position, the first two weeks of the season we’ve had to face two good rookies that play the running back position.”

It’s no secret that Cook has already built upon his campaign at FSU by getting off to an incredibly fast start in the NFL. In his first regular season game with the Vikings, he’s showcased his speed, he broke Adrian Peterson’s record with the most rushing yards by a rookie in his debut as he managed to rack up 127 yards in the Vikings’ impressive victory over the Saints. Overall, explosiveness and has proven that he has a knack for making plays which explains why he’s ranked third in the league in rushing yards right now.

For these reasons, the Bucs are incredibly impressed with the young running back and know that they’ll have their hands full trying to contain him on Sunday. Therefore, Coach Koetter has made it clear the Buccaneers must be ready to embrace a tough challenge.

“He’s a really good player,” Koetter emphasized. “He can run with power. He can run with speed. He can catch the ball out of the backfield and he has demonstrated all of that in the first two weeks of the season. [He’s a] really good football player.”

The Bucs are set to take on Cook and the Vikings on Sunday in Minnesota. Kick off is slated for 1 p.m. ET from U.S. Bank Stadium.
