--The Steelers continue to show off their Big Three, as LeVeon Bell and Antonio Brown make another appearance on the weekly leaderboard.
--There were 14 100-yard receivers in Week 2 after only 3 on opening weekend.
--Atlanta's Justin Durant had 7 sacks in his first 2 games, now he grabs 2 INT, and is looking like the early defensive player of the year leader.
--The Steelers/Rams game was a sackfest, as Pittsburgh piled up NINE and the Rams had 7 of their own.
***One weird thing I have noticed is that there are no kick returns over 30 yards and no punt returns over 10 yards, except for mine from Week 1. Anyone else having that problem with the sim stats?
