Washington's run game is nearly non-existent, and Minnesota's has struggles, as well. What should you know about them?

We're now two weeks into the 2016 NFL season, and with more games played, we get more of an idea about who is the real deal and which stat lines are a fluke.

The second week was kicked off by a high-scoring Thursday affair, in which the New York Jets and Buffalo Bills scored a combined 68 points. The Seattle Seahawks continued to struggle -- scoring fewer than 14 points for the second week in a row -- while the Arizona Cardinals bounced back in a big way -- putting up 40 points after their Week 1 loss.
