After getting embarrassed in Week 1, the Bears (0-1) will look to right the ship in Tampa Bay against the Buccaneers (1-0). The Bucs had one of the more surprising wins in Week 1, defeating the Vikings 20-17. Baker Mayfield is probably not the quarterback of the future in Tampa, but he might be good enough for the Bucs to compete for the NFC South title.

Whether you think wins are a quarterback stat is a discussion for another day.

Luckily, the Giants travel to Arizona to play the Cardinals (0-1), who could be the worst team in the NFL. However, the Cardinals played valiantly in Week 1 before losing by four points to the Cardinals.
