Playoff Prospects and Team Performances in the NFL

The Ringer's Bill Simmons is joined by Cousin Sal to discuss the Texans' win in what seemed like an endless 'SNF' matchup with the Bears (1:19); all the 0-2 teams; some surprising upsets, including 49ers-Vikings, Lions-Buccaneers, and Cowboys-Saints (4:34); the Jets escaping the Titans; and the Seahawks' overtime win in Foxborough (42:22). Then Bill makes some statements after the Week 2 slate and asks Sal if they're "definitely" or "maybe" true (47:49). Finally, they guess the lines for NFL Week 3 (1:03:33) before closing the show with Parent Corner (1:25:02).
