Summary

Peter King gives a taste of his 9/16 Football Morning in America column wrapping up Week 2. (1:50) We spend way too much time talking about the officials, but several bad calls - not to mention the confusion surrounding replay review - became the story coming out of a fun Sunday. In particular, the Saints have every right to be furious. Again. At the refs. In a big game against the Rams. Again. (8:20) 10 Thoughts on Week 2 includes some riffs on how the Pats might be the Steel Curtain, Superman Patrick Mahomes, beat up QBs, and Kirk Cousins makes a bonehead play. (11:30) Could this be the end of a Hall of Fame career for Adam Vinatieri? (13:05) The feel-good story of the week focuses on a long-snapper who hadn't played a game in 5 years. (14:00) Peter dishes out his awards for the week, including an offensive lineman living out every big man's dream. (15:00) Factoid of the Week has some wacky stuff on the Bills, including Josh Allen's love of New Jersey Westin ribs.

0:41.4	It's about the officiating and the huge mistake that was made in the
0:48.8	Ram Saints game and obviously the Saints have to feel incredibly ticked off about how they're being
0:57.5	officiated three major mistakes in a row. But anyway I'll go with that and then I'll talk a little bit about a fun
1:06.0	Sunday otherwise in the NFL as we get ready to watch the jets and the Browns, which could be a fun game. And as we
1:18.7	get ready for the NFL to continue the investigation of the Antonio Brown case,
1:24.0	interviewing the woman who has filed the
1:28.0	civil lawsuit against Antonio Brown alleging sexual assault. But anyway, here's the start of my column for
1:38.0	Monday, September 16. I'm recording this in my apartment in Brooklyn at about 4.45 a.m. Hope you enjoy it.

1:55.4	huge this morning. Ben Rothlisberger and Drew Breeze might really be
