News/What went down:

Eagles/Falcons: The kickoff game of the season was a bit of a slugfest until the end where Eagles defense came up big and had another goal line stop of the Falcons at the end of the game like in the playoffs. Julio Jones, Jay Ajayi good games each. Nick Foles looks regressed.

Bengals/Colts: Shootout game until very end where Bengals pull away. Joe Mixon has a breakout type game and leads Bengals to win. Andrew Luck decent in return.

Ravens/Bills: Ravens way outplay Bills who can't find answers, bench starter Nathan Peterman for rookie Josh Allen near end of game. No players completely stand out.

Buccaneers/Saints: Probably the game of the week, everyone counted out the Bucs who go on an insane hot streak with backup QB Ryan Fitzpatrick at the helm as they demolish Saints. Fitz 5 total TDs and no interceptions. Michael Thomas with a huge 16 reception, 100+ yard game on the Saints. RB Alvin Kamara also a good game.

Pats/Texans: The Pats, lead by Brady and Gronk take advantage of rusty Deshaun Watson and the Texans and avoid their late comeback push to get to 1-0. Watson looks like he is still getting used to being back. Huge signing Tyrann Mathieu picks off Brady in Texans debut.

Vikings/49ers: Kirk Cousins stars in first game as a Viking as he capitalizes on Jimmy Garopollo's interceptions to win the game. Vikings defense looks amazing as well as receiving core. Star RB Dalvin Cook looks a little bit rusty in return game.

Dolphins/Titans: Dolphins take the win after multiple thunderstorm delays. After having their defense destroyed, the Titans almost came back but the Dolphins held them off. Fins' WR Kenny Stills has huge game. RB Kenyan Drake not the best game after all his off-season hype. Dion Lewis has nice debut for Titans.

Jaguars/Giants: Jaguars defense lead by Myles Jack holds up and takes down the Giants explosive offense. Blake Bortles and the Jags offense gets it done even with Leonard Fournette gone with a hamstring injury. Saquon Barkley has a nice 100 yard, 1 TD debut. Odell Beckham also great first game back from injury. Janoris Jenkins one interception for Giants d.

Browns/Steelers: What a crazy game. Cleveland didn't lose!...but they didn't win either. The new look Browns show flashes as they go down in a tie against the dominant Steelers. Steelers not to worry with no Bell because backup James Conner goes off. Tyrod Taylor + Jarvis Landry looks like a great duo and 4th overall pick in the draft CB Denzel Ward has 2 interceptions in NFL debut game.

Panthers/Cowboys: Panthers edge out Cowboys in slugfest of the game. Zeke still scores a TD in a game where he doesn't look like himself. Dak Prescott doesn't have good game either.

Redskins/Cardinals: Redskins, lead by Adrian Peterson, dominate Cardinals as David Johnson scores the Cardinals lone TD. Alex Smith also plays well in his first game as a Redskin.

Broncos/Seahawks: Broncos win a shootout against the new look Seahawks in a rematch of Super Bowl 48. This time the Broncos win. Broncos WR duo looks great along with Von Miller and rookie RB Phillip Lindsay. Case Keenum throws 3 TDs along with 3 INTs in Bronco debut. Seahawks safeties Earl Thomas and Bradley McDougald both have interceptions. Russell Wilson makes connections with receivers Ty Lockett and Brandon Marshall and rookie TE Will Dissly.

Packers/Bears: Packers make HUGE comeback to win against the up and coming Bears. Khalil Mack has a huge first game in Chicago with a forced fumble and a pick 6. Aaron Rodgers stars as he connects with his receivers for the comeback.

Jets/Lions: Sam Darnold has a great turnaround in his first NFL start. He threw a pick 6 on his first career pass but then comes back and throws well the rest of the game as the Jets dominate the Lions for a huge win. Matthew Stafford 4 interceptions and replaced by backup Matt Cassel in the end of the game.

Raiders/Rams: After a strong first half from the Raiders, the Rams defense and Todd Gurley showed up and showed out and dominated to spoil Jon Gruden's return to football. Marshawn Lynch and Jared Cook pretty good games on Raiders, Derek Carr 3 INTs and Amari Cooper only 1 reception.
