NEW YORK — It’s only Week 2, and we’ve already witnessed the catch of the year made by Steelers’ WR George Pickens. The beautifully one-handed catch is making headlines despite the defeat from the Cleveland Browns. Don’t worry; we have the footage in case you missed it! It’s been an eventful week. Not only the catch of the year was claimed, but only six teams remain undefeated, a brawl erupted in New Orleans against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Jimmy G is back, suspensions were made, and updated injury reports are in! Let’s get started.
Who Dat Nation? Who Dat say dey gonna beat dem Saints? Well…the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and they did it on the Saint’s home turf in New Orleans. Ouch. The Bucs’ secured their second win of the season with a final score of 20-10 at the Caesars Superdome. With an immaculate record, the Bucs’ will move on to their next opponent, only this time without WR Mike Evans. Evans has been suspended one game for his role in a fight in Sunday's game. The NFL announced the one-game ban for the Buccaneers receiver on Monday, suspending him without pay "for violations of unnecessary roughness and unsportsmanlike conduct rules." And rightfully so, but don’t fret the other players involved are currently getting evaluated for fines, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reveals. Additionally, it is believed Evans will appeal the suspension.
