Mahomes leads another comeback, Hyder continues to impress
Â
Patrick Mahomes II – QB, Kansas City Chiefs
Mahomes led another comeback win from the Chiefs as they overcame an 11-point second half deficit thanks to a couple of dynamic plays from the reigning Super Bowl MVP to top the Chargers, 23-20 in overtime. Â

Kerry Hyder – DL, San Francisco 49ers
Hyder continued his impressive start to the season, playing the most snaps of any defensive player for the 49ers in their 31-13 win over the Jets on Sunday. Last week, he sacked Kyler Murray. This week, he finished second on the team with eight tackles and two hurries.
Â
Leading the charge of the 49ers' 6-man defensive rotation with a DL-high 52 snaps: Kerry Hyder.

At this point, he's the value pickup of 2020, hands down
Danny Amendola – WR, Detroit Lions
Amendola hauled in two passes for 21 yards in the Lions' loss to Green Bay on Sunday. Through two games, he is the team's second leading receiver with seven receptions for 102 yards.
Â
Jordyn Brooks – LB, Seattle Seahawks
Brooks earned more playing time in week two for the Seahawks in their 35-30 win over the Patriots on Sunday Night Football. He may move into the starting lineup as soon as next week after starting linebacker Bruce Irvin suffered a possible ACL tear.
Â
Pete Carroll expresses extreme confidence in Jordyn Brooks:

"He's ready to play. ... He's so well equipped. He's so fast. He's smart."
Terence Steele – OL, Dallas Cowboys
The undrafted rookie has started both games at right tackle for the Cowboys. Sunday, he helped Dallas pull off an improbable comeback late in a 40-39 win over the Falcons. Â
Â
The starting tackles protecting Dak Prescott against the Falcons _ Brandon Knight & Terence Steele _ were undrafted coming out of college. Both are making their second NFL starts. Knight started once at RT last season; Steele started there last week.

Cam Batson – WR, Tennessee Titans
Batson had an impressive debut for the Titans, pulling in two catches for 26 yards and adding an 11-yard rush to help Tennessee earn a 33-30 victory over the Jaguars.
Â
Vrabel says Cameron Batson took advantage of his opportunity. He was prepared and helped #Titans win. @NC5

Keke Coutee – WR, Houston Texans
Coutee made his season debut on Sunday and caught two passes for 11 yards in a Texans loss to the Ravens.
Â
Jakeem Grant – WR, Miami Dolphins
Grant caught one pass for two yards and had a pair of punt returns for 11 yards in Miami's narrow loss to Buffalo. He now has four receptions on the year, and was featured last week by the Dolphins on their "Mic'd Up" segment. Â

Cody Davis – S, New England Patriots
Davis has been a notable performer for the Patriots' special teams unit so far this season.
Â
Swarming coverage by the Patriots' punt team. Cody Davis, who's replacing Nate Ebner, right in the middle of it. Dolphins will start at their own 8 after a negative-3-yard return.

Dakota Allen – LB, Jacksonville Jaguars
Allen is still looking to get in on his first tackle of 2020 as the Jags fell at Tennessee, 33-30.
Â
Sam Eguavoen – LB, Miami Dolphins
Eguavoen is looking to find his way into more snaps for the Dolphins, who are out to an 0-2 start.
Â
Le'Raven Clark – OL, Indianapolis Colts
Clark has yet to receive significant playing time through two weeks.
Â
HEAD COACHES
Kliff Kingsbury – Arizona Cardinals
The Cardinals are off to their first 2-0 start since 2015 after a 30-15 win over the Washington Football Team.
Â
Kliff Kingsbury sees stuff the @AZCardinals offense can do much better, but the 842 yards they have in the first two games are the most the Cards have had in Weeks 1-2 since they had 903 in 1984.

Anthony Lynn, Los Angeles Chargers
Lynn and the Chargers opened SoFi Stadium with a surprise rookie under center and nearly surprised Mahomes and the Chiefs by controlling the lead much of the game. But, Mahomes led a rally to force OT and eventually spoil the SoFi opener, moving the Chargers to 1-1 on the year.
Â
ÂGotta credit both Anthony Lynn and Justin Herbert for today so far. Both for their preparation
