The second week of the 2017 season saw plenty of action after a surprisingly low offensive output in the opening slate of games, but that's not to say it was short on surprises.
Here are six performances that had us doing a double take on the second Sunday of the season:
6. LeGarrette Blount has one touch for zero yards
It looks like the 2017 NFL season will have a new rushing touchdown champion.
After scoring 18 touchdowns in 2016, Blount had a rare receiving score in Week 1, but had his role dramatically reduced against the Chiefs. Blount had no carries and only one catch for zero yards on Sunday while Darren Sproles and Wendell Smallwood took all the carries.
5. Chris Jones decimates Eagles offense
If you only know Jones as the guy who had an unfortunate incident at the 2016 Scouting Combine, it's about time to realize the kid can play.
In the second game of his second season, the Chiefs defensive end notched three sacks, one interception, one pass defended, and two forced fumbles against the Eagles on Sunday, helping the team to a 27-20 win.
4. Lynch finishes as Raiders' 3rd leading rusher
The Raiders beat up hard on the Jets Sunday, but Marshawn Lynch wasn't a huge factor in the 45-20 win. "Beastmode" had 12 carries for 45 yards and one catch with a touchdown, though his teammates had a better time out of the backfield.

Backup running back Jalen Richard had a huge day with 58 yards on six carries to go with 51 receiving yards on 2 catches, while receiver/return specialist Cordarrelle Patterson also had 57 rush yards on three carries. Both Richard and Patterson also scored rushing touchdowns as the Raiders got creative with their run game.
3. Trevor Siemian torches Cowboys for 4 TDs
For a team supposedly led by their defense, the Broncos offense looked pretty damn good against the Cowboys, as Trevor Siemian threw four touchdown passes.

The Cowboys defense looked like a stout unit in Week 1, keeping the Giants to three points, but Siemian had little issue carving up a secondary that was depleted by injuries. Eight different players caught at least one pass with no one going over 75 yards receiving as Siemian and co. became the first team to put 40 points on the Cowboys since 2013.
2. 49ers average 8.4 yards per rush vs. Seahawks
The Seattle Seahawks may not be able to field much of an offensive line, but at the very least, they should be able to play defense after adding Sheldon Richardson to their already-dominant front seven. However, the 49ers, who had 51 rushing yards in Week 1, obliterated that front.
With Carlos Hyde putting up 124 yards on 15 carries and Matt Breida tacking on four attempts for 35 yards, the 49ers averaged 8.4 yards per carry against the Seahawks. While it is still early in the season, it is somewhat alarming, considering Seattle had the fifth-best defense last season and were seventh-best against the run.
1. Ezekiel Elliott runs for 8 yards on 9 carries
The stresses of Elliott's off-field legal battle may be hurting his in-game production.
The Cowboys star running back was held to a career-low eight yards on nine carries, wildly surpassing his previous low of 51 yards set in his rookie debut. Dallas was forced to somewhat abandon the running game after the broncos jumped out to an early lead, though Elliott could only contribute 14 yards in the passing game.

It's no secret that the Broncos have a good defense, but their supposed weakness of interior run defense seems to have been fixed against the Cowboys.
