The bulk of Week 2 of the preseason is in the books with just the and San Francisco Giants Jerseyleft to duke it out on Monday night. With 15 other games wrapped up, however, we're going to dive into the week that was in the NFL and take the temperature on a number of situations that developed over this slate. Of course, the preseason is all about evaluation, so we'll highlight a handful of winners and losers that emerged this week before we head into the final exhibitions and inch that much closer to the regular season. Are you ready? Here are the winners and losers from Week 2 of the preseason.Even if the results of this game didn't mean much of anything, Mitchell Trubisky was able to get the better of his former club as the throttled the at Soldier Field on Saturday, 41-15. This was Trubisky's first game against Chicago since signing with Buffalo this offseason and he was downright masterful in Brian Daboll's offense. He got the start with not playing and completed 20 of his 28 pa ses for 221 yards and a touchdown. Trubisky began the game extremely hot, leading to Bills on four-straight touchdown drives. When he exited the game at halftime, he had Buffalo up 34-6.Again, earning the win here doesn't hold much weight in the grand scheme of things, but Trubisky certainly looked like the quarterback Chicago always hoped he'd become during his tenure there. Meanwhile, the Bills arguably have one of the better quarterback situations in the league with an MVP caliber player in Allen and a capable backup in Trubisky.I think you could make the case that a wet napkin was stronger than Chicago's tackling efforts on Saturday. While the Trubisky revenge game was the main storyline coming out of that contest, it was a poor showing from the Bears defense in all facets, but particularly with tackling. Bills ball carriers were able to pile up chunks of yards after contact with Chicago Pat Burrell Jersey's defense showing little resistance at times. One of the more noticeable examples of that came on Buffalo's first touchdown of the day when running back broke multiple tackles for a touchdown on a fourth-and-1 attempt. Singletary took a pitch from Trubisky and was met at the line of scrimmage by two Bears defenders. Neither was able to bring him down. MOTOR: WIVB + + The Bills App Buffalo Bills (@BuffaloBills) That'll need to improve heading into the regular season.The quarterback battle continues to wage on in New England. However, Cam Newton may have solidified himself as the Week 1 starter with his play against the on Thursday. He was sharp, completing eight of his nine pa ses for 103 yards and a touchdown to begin the game before departing for the night with the rest of the ' starting offensive line. Newton looked poised in the pocket and was able to climb up the ladder to deliver strong throws as well. What was arguably most impre sive about his showing in Week 2 was his deep ball. He started the game with pa ses that traveled 18, 23, and 10 yards. You could even make the case that was the best he's thrown the ball throughout his time with the Patriots.While has also played well this preseason, Newton has given Bill Belichick no reason to turn things over to the rookie, giving him a solid grip on this job to begin the year. Drops, drops and more drops for Ja'Marr Chase. The first-round receiver struggled against Willie Mays Jersey Washington on Saturday as he was targeted three times by quarterback and dropped all of them. Not every pa s was a perfect ball, but they all did hit the No. 5 overall pick in the hands. Bengals rookie WR Ja'Marr Chase (fifth overall pick) with three targets, three drops in his second preseason game. The Comeback (@thecomeback) "We just gotta continue to work on it every single day. It's key that our receivers do a great job focusing, catching the ball," hed coach Zac Taylor said of Chase's drops, . "He's getting better every day at a lot of the other details that maybe go unnoticed. So we'll just keep looking for improvement there."All eyes are going to be on Tua Tagovailoa this season and whether or not he'll be able to rebound from a so-so rookie season in 2020. If Miami's most recent preseason matchup with the is any indication, the will be feeling much better about their quarterback situation by the end of this season. Tagovailoa looked really solid, completing 16 of his 23 pa ses for 183 yards and a touchdown. Out of the gate, he was able to lead the Dolphins on back-to-back touchdown drives to begin the game and completed all eight of his throws in the first quarter. That's the type of leap Miami is hoping for in 2021.It was an outing to forget for Kyler Murray and the starting offense as they were shelled by the . Murray completed just one of his four pa s attempts for two yards and had one rush for eight yards. He was sacked twice and had three three-and-outs when he was under center. In all, Arizona's offense ran nine plays for -1 yard when Murray was in the game. "Not the outing we had hoped for," Murray told ESPN, . "But it is what it is. Doesn't count. Look forward to the regular season starting in a couple weeks. I just think we've gotta clean some stuff up, get some things right. They kicked our butt for the three drives we were out there. It is what it is. We'll be better when it counts."Ben Roethlisberger showed that he'll be just fine operating in new offensive coordinator Matt Canada's system. In his preseason debut, the veteran was perfect, throwing a perfect pa ser rating of 158.3. He completed eight of his 10 throws for 137 yards and two touchdowns in the three series he played. Both of Big Ben's touchdown throws went to second-round rookie tight end , which is another encouraging development heading into the regular season. The 39-year-old also showed a solid rapport with rookie back in the pa sing game Austin Slater Jerseywith the two connecting on a 46-yard pa s.Fields continued to show flashes of his potential against the Bills on Saturday, but there were also some rookie lumps mixed in as well. While he continues to impre s with his legs (46 yards rushing on four attempts), he wasn't particularly efficient pa sing, completing nine of his 19 throws for 80 yards. Fields did have a off his back foot, but he also exposed himself to a number of hits, including a vicious blow by Bills linebacker . Justin Fields lost his helmet and headband on this hit Footballism (@FootbaIIism) Even as the Chicago faithful clamor for Fields to get the starting job over , it's likely those moments -- fair or unfair -- that give head coach Matt Nagy pause from making the switch right now. It's been a rough week for the after losing star pa s rusher for the season due to a ruptured Achilles, but Zach Wilson's showing on Saturday was a positive note the team can hang its hat on. The No. 2 overall pick looked the part against the , completing nine of his 11 pa ses on the day for 128 yards through the air and a pair of touchdowns.
