- NFL - - NFL Regular Season Week 2 Recap: Week 2 of the 2026 NFL regular season was defined by a surge of high-profile QB injuries and a sharp drop in overall offensive explosiveness: Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams suffered a right hamstring injury during the game against the Minnesota Vikings and had to be carted off the field — he is considered "week-to-week" with the right hamstring injury, however Bears HC Ben Johnson would not rule Williams out for next Monday night's game against the Philadelphia Eagles even though he does not expect the third-year QB to practice at all this week; Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels suffered a dislocated left elbow that looked very concerning - even so that NFL commentator/former NFL QB Tom Brady shouted an expletive on live TV - in the 2nd QTR of the team's loss to the Dallas Cowboys, and is expected to miss approximately 2-3 weeks; New York Giants QB Jaxson Dart exited Monday Night Football early against the Los Angeles Rams with a concerning knee injury, and per Giants HC John Harbaugh on Tuesday evening, Dart will undergo a season-ending surgery - - After a historic Week 1 where 15 teams scored 26 or more points, that number fell to under double-digits in Week 2 as defenses adjusted and tackled much better - - High penalty counts (such as the 27 combined penalties committed between the Packers and Jets) and low third-down conversion rates plagued multiple teams — In this week's NFL segment, JD & Spencer dive into a discussion of the most notable NFL games from across the Week 2 slate, including those listed below: 
New Orleans Saints at Baltimore RavensMinnesota Vikings at Chicago BearsWashington Commanders at Dallas CowboysIndianapolis Colts at Kansas City Chiefs
- "A Guinness World Record Kick:" Former NFL kicker Adam Vinatieri isn't a stranger to snowy conditions. . .but in the Swiss Alps? — This was a first for the Pro Football Hall of Fame kicker this week as he set a Guinness World Record: On Tuesday, the 53-year-old Vinatieri set the record for kicking the highest FG in the world at 11,332 feet above sea level at Jungfraujoch, also known as the "Top of Europe." - - The conditions were a little more difficult than what he experienced at Foxboro Stadium during the 2001 AFC Divisional Playoff Game against Al Davis's Oakland Raiders when he kicked a 45-yard FG to send the New England Patriots to the AFC Championship Game: The world record attempt was part of the Patriots' promotion for their upcoming Nov. 15 game set to occur in Munich, Germany, against the Detroit Lions - as the team hold market rights in the DACH region of Germany, Austria and Switzerland - - Vinatieri played 24 seasons in the NFL with the Patriots and Indianapolis Colts: **NOTE: He is the NFL's all-time leading scorer (2,673 points) and is the league record holder for FGs made (599), playoff points (238) and successful OT FGs (12) — A three-time first-team All-Pro, Vinatieri won three (3) Super Bowls with the Patriots and one more with the Colts: In Super Bowls XXXVI and XXXVIII, it was his foot that kicked the Patriots to championships in the final seconds - as his on-field success led to him being part of the Pro Football Hall of Fame's Class of 2026. . ."A No Fun League:"  The NFL fined San Francisco 49ers FB Kyle Juszczyk $14,926 on Thursday for "engaging in offensive demonstrations," — According to the NFL, Juszczyk violated Rule 12, Section 3, Article 1, when he did an "imitation of chugging beer" with just under eight (8) minutes left in the 3rd QTR of the Niners' 35-13 win against the Miami Dolphins in Week 2 - - The fine notice added that further offenses could potentially result in an escalation of disciplinary action, up to and including suspension - - Juszczyk has already appealed the fine, he told ESPN's Adam Schefter: Juszczyk, who goes by the nickname "Juice" has performed the celebration for years and has, in the past, acknowledged the celebratory gesture is in reference to him drinking his "juice" following an explosive play — He has never been fined previously for the celebration and told Schefter via text that, "I don't even drink beer." [which I have a VERY difficult time believing that this man does not drink the "water of the Gods."]. . .Q: What are your thoughts on San Francisco 49ers FB Kyle "Juice" Juszczyk being fined $14k by the NFL for performing his usual TD celebration on Sunday against the Dolphins?. . .
