The 49ers have quickly established themselves as one of the teams I just have to watch every week. Kyle Shanahan is putting his offensive mind to effective use, with Jimmy Garoppolo throwing a touchdown to three different receivers against the Bengals. This undefeated start is the first time that the 49ers have won their opening two clashes since they reached the Super Bowl in 2012, whilst it’s the first time the ‘Niners have won back-to-back road games since 1989. Armed with a young and talented core, the 49ers could well be a postseason threat come December.

AFC Offensive Player of the Week: Patrick Mahomes (Kansas City Chiefs)

The 2018 NFL MVP is back, and has begun his second year as a starter in the same vein as last season. Patrick Mahomes started slowly in Oakland, but steadily found his feet to torch the Raiders in an all-time great second quarter. After punting on his opening two drives, Mahomes led the Chiefs to four straight touchdowns as he amassed 445 yards without an interception in a 28-10 road win. Of that total, 278 yards took place in the second quarter - the second-highest total by a QB in a quarter of the last 40 years, behind Drew Brees who threw 294 yards in the fourth quarter in 2008. An impressive feat for the third-year signal-caller and reigning MVP.
