Five contenders emerged for ProUte of Week 2, but David Reed separated himself from the pack on this 77 yard kick return. Reed rolled up 123 total yards on 3 returns, making him one of the Ravens' most effective weapons on a day when the offense struggled to move the ball against Tennessee. Reed would later leave the game with a shoulder injury which has kept him out of practices this week. After missing week one for a suspension, Reed may miss week three with an injury. In week two he made kicker Rob Bironas miss!
Also in the running were the Smith brothers: Alex, Sean, and Steve, as well as Eric Weddle. Alex Smith completed 16 of 24 passes for 179 yds, 2 TDs, and an INT. He also rushed 3 times for 21 yds, but was sacked 6 times. Sean Smith had six tackles and two pass deflections while covering premier wideout Andre Johnson. Steve Smith had another big day, catching six balls for 156 yards, but he did have a fumble forced and recovered by Charles Woodson (who also intercepted Cam Newton twice, as one Heisman winner victimized another). Eric Weddle led the Chargers with 12 tackles, but he struggled in coverage against New England's big target tight ends.
