Week 2 in the NFL was a wild one. We had the hottest game in history for both the Patriots and the Jaguars in Jacksonville, a wild post game outfit and even a mid-game retirement for the ages.

Here’s how it all played out in Twitter.

First of all, it was hot in Jacksonville-- let’s get that out of the way now:

Apparently not the good kind of hot.

Furthermore, this is definitely not a “dry heat!” https://t.co/v4KGiP2UiZ
