The hands-down most exciting play in Week 2 was the 4th and 3 attempt from the Atlanta Falcons at the end of their game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Quarterback Matt Ryan, in a Shotgun Empty formation, snapped the ball with 1 second left on the play clock and quickly fired a screen pass to his number one receiver, Julio Jones.
Upon catching the ball, Jones was off to the races and outran every Philadelphia defender in a foot race to the goal line. (Jones even ran through the goal line as if he was an Olympic sprinter running through the finish line, in order to highlight his speed and accentuate the excitement of the moment.
The exciting strategic aspect of this play is the offensive tackle who makes a crushing block in the open field to provide Julio Jones with just enough space to break free for not only a first down, but a touchdown. Check out the play in the video below:

When Kansas City plays any game with Patrick Mahomes at the reigns, you can expect explosive offensive plays. One of the first explosive plays in the Chief's Week 2 match up actually came from the Raiders first drive to a speedy tight end.
Derek Carrier, from Division III Beloit College, lined up as a tight end in the Shotgun Tight formation and ran a deep out route that resulted in a 24 yard gain on his first catch of the season, giving the Raiders a first down and a successful third down conversion.
Carrier, a seven year pro, finished the game with 3 catches for 33 yards.

Matt Breida gained 121 Rushing yards for the San Fransisco 49ers in their game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
One play in particular had a great play design and resulted in 12 yards and a first down.
It was a trap counter play that utilized the leverage of the formation and a quick flashing tight end to set a trap block on the right side rusher.
The Quarterback presents the ball out to left in order to show a run play to the left side, but switches back to the right when the running back plants his counter foot to come back hard to the right.
