Key matchups of the week:
Bears versus Packers. The Pack will be in a nasty mood after losing their opener at Lambeau Field. These divisional rivals do not like each other and the Bears would like nothing better than to take a 2-game lead. Chicago will look to get physical against Green Bay while the Packers try to assert themselves with one of the league’s marque quarterbacks. Expect fireworks in this primetime matchup.
Ravens at Eagles. The Eagles will have to get more production from their offense to have a shot against Baltimore’s swarming defensive unit. Philadelphia quarterback Michael Vick will need to use his legs to keep plays alive while trying to avoid the hard hitting Raven rush.
Broncos at Falcons. Peyton Manning showed he is back with his performance against the Steelers on Sunday night. He will need to maintain that level when Denver faces Matt Ryan and the high scoring Falcons.
