NFL Week 2 live updates: Dolphins lead Patriots in third quarter

Week 2 of the 2023 NFL season is underway, and we’ve got you covered with all the action from around the league!

A few teams collected their first win of the season, including the Giants in a historic comeback win, while many, including Dallas, San Francisco and Miami, kept their hot streaks alive. 

Here are the top moments!

FINAL: Miami Dolphins 24, New England Patriots 17

Goal line stand

The Pats D stepped up on Miami’s first possession, forcing the Fins into a field goal despite clawing their way into the red zone. 

Set ’em down 

The Dolphins offense was the talk of the league last week, but its defense came away with a big stop on third down to set the down.

Knocked loose!

The Patriots looked stellar on their second drive, as Mac Jones completed four of his five pass attempts, but Bradley Chubb made an enormous play from behind on a short dump-off, forcing a fumble and giving Miami the ball back at the start of the second quarter.

Punching it in

The Fins flew down the field after the turnover, traveling 73 yards in 11 plays to take a 10-0 lead early in the second.

Too fast for you 

Tyreek Hill is an absolute handful for defenses to deal with, and he flashed his lethality again by sliding into the end zone on a quick out route. The nifty TD grab put Miami up 17-3 just before the half.

Speed of my own!

We’ve got a blocked field goal alert! Speed was all over the field Sunday night, and Brenden Schooler put his on display with a big play late in the third for the Pats.

Xavien!

The Pats made some waves downfield near the end of the third quarter, but Xavien Howard reared himself in a major way with a massive interception at the goal line.

Mactastic

Early in the fourth quarter, the Pats riled the home crowd up with a number of tough scrambles from Mac Jones, who converted a third-and-15 with his legs before connecting with Hunter Henry for a TD.

Gonzo!

Down 17-10, Pats rookie Christian Gonzalez made a heady play on a deep shot intended for Hill, leaping in front of the Dolphins’ big-play wideout for a pick.

Money Mostert

The Fins’ D rallied to stop New England on the ensuing drive though, and Mostert waltzed past the pylon on Miami’s next possession to put it up two scores.

Keeping it close

Jones continued his mobile magnificence, guiding the Pats 75 yards in nine plays to bring them back within a touchdown.

It won’t count!

The Dolphins struck a 55-yard field goal attempt wide left, which bought New England the ball back with just over two minutes to play.

Improvising!

The Pats did all they could to gain a first down on this fourth-and-four. After hauling in a reception from Jones, Mike Gesicki looked dead to rights when he was swarmed by a slew of Dolphins defenders. 

He rattled off a pitch to lineman Cole Strange, who looked as if he reached the yard marker, but his effort came up just short. The wild play was New England’s last of the night, as Miami made off with a 24-17 victory.

FINAL: Washington Commanders 35, Denver Broncos 33

Broncos running early

At the start of the game, Washington missed a field goal on its opening drive, and Denver quickly capitalized. On the third play of the ensuing drive, Jaleel McLaughlin ran in a 5-yard score for the Broncos.

Letting it rip!

Washington connected on a field goal, but then Denver pushed its lead to two scores. After Commanders linebacker Jamin Davis committed a roughing the passer penalty on the first play of the drive, Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson hooked up with wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. for a 60-yard touchdown. 

Let Russ cook?

After forcing a Washington three-and-out, Denver put another touchdown on the board when Wilson got the ball to wide receiver Brandon Johnson, who ran into the end zone for a 16-yard score.

Commanders capitalize

Davis knocked the ball out of Wilson’s possession, and linebacker Cody Barton fell on the loose ball for Washington. Nine plays later, quarterback Sam Howell hit tight end Logan Thomas for a goal-line touchdown. The Commanders then converted a two-point conversion.

Tie game!

Howell hit wide receiver Terry McLaurin for a game-tying, 30-yard touchdown early in the third quarter.

Lead change!

Washington missed a field goal, which was followed by Denver making a field goal. Then the Commanders took their first lead of the game. Four plays after Brian Robinson Jr. ripped a 27-yard run, the running back punched in a 2-yard score for Washington.

Runnin’ Robinson

After forcing a three-and-out, Washington took its biggest lead of the day. On the eighth play of the drive, Robinson ran in a 15-yard touchdown, giving the Commanders a 35-24 lead.

ABSURD catch offset

Down 35-27 with the ball on the 50-yard line and three seconds remaining in the game, Wilson launched a Hail Mary pass that bounced off multiple helmets and into the hands of Johnson in the end zone for a touchdown. With that said, Denver didn’t convert the two-point attempt and lost.

FINAL: New York Giants 31, Arizona Cardinals 28

Cardinals strike first

Kicker Matt Prater missed a 55-yard field goal for Arizona, and New York followed with a three-and-out. Then the Cardinals broke the ice as running back James Connor ran in a 4-yard touchdown.

I got this!

On first-and-10 from the Giants’ 23-yard line, Cardinals quarterback Joshua Dobbs took matters into his own legs, running for a first down and then going through contact for a touchdown.

Having it their way

The Cardinals came right back down the field with Dobbs hitting wide receiver Marquise Brown for a goal-line touchdown and then running in a two-point attempt.

Giants back in it

Barkley finished off New York’s next drive with a rushing touchdown and then the back caught a pass from Jones and dived for the pylon for a 9-yard touchdown on its next drive. The Giants trailed 28-21.

TIE GAME

After getting another stop, the Giants came down the field and tied the game. On the fifth play of the drive, Jones hit wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins for an 11-yard touchdown.

Saquon injured

Barkley hobbled off the field late in the fourth quarter with an injury.

Giants pull off 21-point comeback!

Rams TD

Los Angeles scored a field goal on its first possession, and then it evened up the scoreboard after the San Francisco field goal. On the eighth play of the drive, quarterback Matthew Stafford got the ball out to running back Kyren Williams, who ran into the end zone for the 6-yard score.

Mr. Red Zone

After forcing the 49ers to punt, the Rams put together a 13-play touchdown drive that ended with Williams running in a 4-yard score.

Gutsy call!

With the ball on the Los Angeles 1-yard line and one second remaining in the first half, San Francisco kept the offense on the field, and Purdy sneaked it into the end zone.

Just flip it

After kicker Jake Moody made a 57-yard field goal and the 49ers forced a three-and-out, they extended their lead to two scores. On the seventh play of the drive, Purdy got the ball out to Deebo Samuel, who evaded multiple tackles for an 11-yard score. The 49ers led 27-17.

Strong start for Dallas
