regular season this season National Football League Starting Thursday, the team unexpectedly won detroit lions, 21-20thon the defending Super Bowl champions, kansas city chiefs.
The event continues this Sunday with exciting games and we’ll also see some long-awaited debuts that no one will want to miss the first week.
First, rookie quarterback Bryce Young officially introduces himself carolina panthersalso rookie quarterback Anthony Rickarson Debut and indianapolis colts No. 1 pick C.J. Stroud did the same thing. houston texans,. this tampa bay buccaneers and green bay packers They began their campaigns seeking to replace Hall of Fame quarterbacks Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers, respectively.
However, all eyes will be on the Monday Night Football matchup. buffalo bill and new york jets This marked the beginning of the Rogers Era in New York.
these are Reasons not to miss the rest of Week 1:
The Panthers are one of the most intriguing teams to watch this season, especially with the addition of rookie quarterback Bryce Young, their offense has huge potential, and Atlanta is still a developing program , looks like a contender for the No. 2 pick. The global draft showcases your talent.
As if that wasn’t enough, this is a showdown between rivals in the same division, which makes this game even more important.
Joe Burrow promised that his contract negotiations won’t distract him as he prepares for the start of the season, and I’m sure they didn’t, but we can’t forget that the quarterback’s injury limited him all offseason And the preseason is going on, so we likely won’t see him in sync with the receivers at least until games start.
Deshaun Watson, on the other hand, should already be thoroughly familiar with the Browns’ system, and it will be interesting to see if he can keep Cleveland competitive at its expected level.
The defending AFC South champion Jaguars are under pressure to start the season as favorites, and that pressure hasn’t always been there in Jacksonville.
The Jaguars’ offense is good enough to reasonably believe they’ll win, but we should never rule out a local team, especially if this is a divisional showdown that favors the Colts, with rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson still against the Colts Hold the question mark on the control device. Richardson has the potential to be a star in the NFL, but will he make an immediate impact in Indianapolis? We’ll find out in a few hours.
Can Baker Mayfield fill the void left by Tom Brady? Obviously this is a very difficult task for the quarterback, especially considering the number of holes the Buccaneers have this season. Mayfield shouldn’t worry about the hole he has to fill, however, as he faces a serious candidate who won the national conference in his debut.
The question now isn’t if the Vikings will win, but by how much.
Derek Carr officially reports to the Saints, and it will be interesting to see the quarterback play alongside wide receiver Michael Thomas if Thomas recovers after injuries limited him to 10 games the past three years. , he should be eager to return. He showed before he left that New Orleans’ offense was going to be exciting.
There must be a sense of revenge for the Titans, who will be looking to get off to a fast start and start piling up wins after last season ended with a losing streak that ended with them being marginalized in the playoffs.
This is the type of game I’d like to see later in the season instead of Week 1.
The 49ers will return starting quarterback Brock Purdy, who is recovering from an arm injury suffered last postseason. Purdy may need time to find a rhythm, and behind him is only Sam Darnold, who won the race to replace Trey Lance, one of the biggest busts in recent drafts.
The Steelers showed promise late last season and we can assume that with Kenny Pickett in complete control of the offense and the defense still being a dangerous unit full of talent led by T.J. Watt, that could make things quite difficult. . Niners.
Even though San Francisco is the favorite, I wouldn’t be surprised if Pittsburgh ends up winning at home.
Jonathan Gannon’s era with the Cardinals will begin without starting quarterback Kyler Murray, replaced by Joshua Dobbs, The latter’s career passing experience is limited to 85 times, with 2 touchdowns and 3 interceptions.
I don’t want to say it’s a recipe for disaster, but Arizona really can’t do anything about its commanders, who seem to be taking steps in the right direction little by little, no matter how much skepticism surrounds them. Quarterback Sam Howell.
After a long contract dispute with the Ravens, Lamar Jackson managed to become the highest-paid player in NFL history in a matter of days, and now he must prove every week that he’s worthy of Baltimore’s lucrative contract. . The Texans’ visit seemed like a good opportunity.
Houston was the league’s second-worst team last season and had holes in every aspect, and facing Jackson didn’t bode well for a great afternoon.
Maybe rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud can light up the Texans offense and make games interesting, but there’s a big difference between having fun and competing.
Of course, we’re all paying attention to this game because Chicago is about to unveil a new logo, right?
There’s no doubt that one of the biggest plot points of the week will be seeing if Jordan Love can become the rightful heir apparent to Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay, and all eyes will be on the inexperienced quarterback, I I dare say the result may be ranked second. If Love can’t spark the Packers’ offense, it’ll be a sign that they’re in for a long season.
Another quarterback starting a new era of his career this Sunday is the 49ers’ Jimmy Garoppolo.
Like losing his job in San Francisco, Garoppolo has a solid running back (Josh Jacobs), a good receiver (Davante Adams) and a solid tight end forward (Austin Hooper), plus a head coach named Josh McDaniels.
However, both Garoppolo and McDaniels may face one last chance to prove they belong in the NFL, so we could see some pretty aggressive play from the Raiders.
For Denver, it’s time to give back for Russell Wilson, who disappointed after being acquired in a multi-pick trade with the Seahawks last year.
The Eagles have a thorn in their side that they’ll definitely want to get out of trouble with a win in New England as soon as possible, and their chance to spoil the recently retired Tom Brady’s chances of returning to Foxborough should be a huge motivation as well. Join the Patriots in accepting a tribute.
Philadelphia has nearly a full roster of stars heading back to the Super Bowl, so expect the Eagles to get off to an explosive start to the season.
The Dolphins and Chargers meet at SoFi Stadium for the second consecutive year. Not much is said about the young quarterback matchup between Tua Tagovailoa and Justin Herbert, but this will be their third meeting and they’ve both come out victorious so far.
Tagovailoa won his first in Miami in 2020 and Herbert won the matchup in Los Angeles last season, but both struggled and each ended up throwing for just one touchdown.
We’re definitely going to see a different matchup this time around, and while I’m not looking forward to a points fest, it seems to me that both quarterbacks are going to put up much higher numbers than they gave us last time.
The Rams are having another injury year, this time with wide receiver Cooper Kupp on injured reserve.
The Air Raid’s explosiveness won’t be the same without Kupp, and coupled with Matthew Stafford’s wife saying the quarterback has issues connecting with young receivers, don’t get your hopes too high for Los Angeles.
The Seahawks are coming off an unlikely playoff run and have most of their players back for the playoffs, starting with quarterback Geno Smith. Seattle may not be spectacular, but they’re still a dangerous team that knows how to win and swept the Rams last season.
The Cowboys are starting another season with enthusiasm, finally ending a nearly three-decade drought without winning a Super Bowl.
While there’s no championship win yet in Week 1, we can get a feel for what a team has in store for the rest of the season, and Dallas still has a lot of doubts to clear up following the departure of offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, plus , their offensive line doesn’t seem as solid as it has been in previous years, so there’s nothing like a good divisional matchup to know where the Cowboys stand.
As far as the Giants are concerned, they have a surprising 2022 season thanks in large part to the performance of their quarterback Daniel Jones, but now that everyone knows his weapons, can he repeat to lead New York? What about the team’s feat of making the playoffs again?
“Monday Night Football”
Finally, Aaron Rodgers will make his debut as a Jets player, and his first test in New York won’t be easy.
The Bills have emerged as a serious contender in the American League and are favorites to win the AFC East. The Jets are a threat due to the arrival of Rodgers and the lack of players to accompany him on offense, but the battle could be over with Rodgers. outside definition’ hands.
The real showdown in this game will be Bills quarterback Josh Allen versus Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner, and the winner of this game will determine the direction of the game.
