Green Light with Chris Long

NFL week 2 action is here but we're still figuring out each team. Chris and the fellas breakdown the most important games, the best bets and the things you need to be on the lookout for during week 2 of the 2026 NFL season. The Cincinnati Bengals face off against a fired up Houston Texans team coming off a tight loss to the Bills. Can Joe Burrow lead Cincy to a rare 2-0 start in September or will the Texans defense take out some frustration on the Bengals? We dive into the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings chess match which features two great coordinators, Ben Johnson and Brian Flores going head to head. The Philadelphia Eagles look to build on their offenses' solid outing in week 1 against the Titans in week 2. Will the Packers take care of the Jets or will Geno Smith have something cooking for Green Bay? And Chris wants to give the Jaguars their respect, especially after the Broncos lopsided loss to the Chiefs. After running through the slate, Chris, Macon and Stanford Steve run through their betting draft, selecting the best plays from NFL Sunday. Make sure to tail, these dudes are sharps.

The fellas breakdown the Chiefs dismantling of the Denver Broncos on Monday Night Football. Kenneth Walker Jr ran all through Denver's defense as Patrick Mahomes returned from his injury. Then Chris and Beau turn their attention to the Chicago Bears and Carolina Panthers track meet. Chicago's offense looked unstoppable with Caleb Williams seemingly scoring at will. The fellas end with some America's Teams featuring New York football teams, Gen Z QBs and Jameis Winston!

The 2026 NFL Season has BEGUN!!! A lot of action from the first Sunday of the season and plenty of storylines to roll through. Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills played a tremendous game against the Houston Texans and came out on top. CJ Stroud had a strong opening game of the season after dealing with an offseason of questions about his play and contract but he'll have to wait for week 2 to secure the Texans' first win of 2026. The offseason darling Chargers ran into some trouble with the Cardinals as Justin Herbert couldn't find his footing. Offenses were firing throughout the day with Lamar Jackson and the Ravens rolling to a 41-23 victory over the Colts, the Bengals dropping 33 on the Buccaneers, the Vikings scoring 22 points in the 4th quarter to beat the Packers 39-22, and Jaxson Dart and the Giants taking it to the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football. The Eagles also held off the Commanders for the 6th straight week 1 victory.

Chris breaks down all the Week 1 action with Nate 'Dr. Fax' Collins and the crew, gives out some week 1 mentions and reports on the action from the vaunted Bermuda Triangle. Nick Foles joins to breakdown the Eagles-Commanders game, Cam Ward's play against the Jets and Kyle Shanahan's playcalling prowess. Enjoy!

*The Bears-Panthers game will be dissected IN-DEPTH by Chris and Beau on Wednesday so stayed tuned for that!

Seahawks and the Patriots met in a Super Bowl rematch and the game went similarly to SB LX, with the Seahawks defense overwhelming Drake Maye. Sam Darnold left with an injury after the first drive and AJ Brown also left the game later on but it was Drew Lock who made the plays when needed to lift Seattle to victory. Chris and Beau recap the game and preview the San Francisco 49ers vs LA Rams matchup from Australia on Thursday Night Football!
