Week 1 NFL Final Scores

Buffalo Bills 31, Los Angeles Rams 10

Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills showed the league why they are the early Super Bowl favorites, dominating the defending World Champions on both sides of the ball on the road at SoFi Stadium.

​Bills​

• Josh Allen: 26/31, 297 YDS, 3 TD, 2 INT
  
• Stefon Diggs: 8 REC, 122 YDS, 1 TD

• Cooper Kupp: 13 REC, 128 YDS, 1 TD

Chicago Bears 19, San Francisco 49ers 10

After a sloppy first half, the Bears get a come-from-behind win at home in the first game of the Trey Lance era for San Francisco and the first game of the Matt Eberflus era for Chicago.

​Bears​

• Justin Fields: 8-17, 121 YDS, 2 TD, 1 INT
  
• Khalil Herbert: 9 CAR, 45 YDS, 1 TD

New Orleans Saints 27, Atlanta Falcons 26

Despite a 16-point deficit in the fourth quarter, Jameis Winston led the Saints down the field twice for a pair of quick touchdowns and Will Lutz converted a 51-yard field goal with 19 seconds remaining to give the Saints the narrow victory in Dennis Allen’s coaching debut.

​Saints​

• Jameis Winston: 23-34, 269 YDS, 2 TD

Pittsburgh Steelers 23, Cincinnati Bengals 20 (OT)

It’s not often that a defense catches Joe Burrow on a bad day, but the Steelers sure did, turning the star QB over a total of 5 times in the game. Perhaps the biggest storyline coming out of this game is the health concerns surrounding TJ Watt, as the reigning Defensive Player of the Year left the game late with a torn pec that will hold him out for several weeks.

​Steelers​

• Mitch Trubisky: 21-38, 194 YDS, 1 TD
  
• Chase Claypool: 6 CAR, 36 YDS

Philadelphia Eagles 38, Detroit Lions 35

After the Eagles jumped out to an early two score lead, Dan Campbell’s Detroit Lions refused to go away late and almost completed the unlikely comeback to open the season.

​Eagles​

• Jalen Hurts: 18-32, 243 YDS
  
• Miles Sanders: 13 CAR, 96 YDS, 1 TD

• D'Andre Swift: 15 CAR, 144 YDS, 1 TD
  
• Amon-Ra St. Brown: 8 REC, 64 YDS, 1 TD
  

Miami Dolphins 20, New England Patriots 7

With a defensive touchdown, an interception, forced fumble, and two sacks, the Dolphins’ defense made Bill Belichick’s offense look uncomfortable from start to finish in Mike McDaniel’s first career win as a head coach.

​Dolphins​

• Tua Tagovailoa: 23-33, 270 YDS, 1 TD
  
• Chase Edmonds: 12 CAR, 25 YDS

Baltimore Ravens 24, New York Jets 9

After deciding to bet on himself in hopes of a big payday in the near future, Lamar Jackson began the 2022-23 season with 3 touchdowns and one of the largest margins of victory seen around the league in Week 1.

• Corey Davis: 6 REC, 77 YDS
  

Washington Commanders 28, Jacksonville Jaguars 22

Carson Wentz threw for four touchdowns for the first time since the game he tore his ACL back in 2017, and the Commanders needed all of them to complete the comeback against Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars.

​Commanders​

• Carson Wentz: 27-41, 313 YDS, 4 TD, 2 INT
  
• Antonio Gibson: 14 CAR, 58 YDS, 7 REC, 72 YDS

Indianapolis Colts 20, Houston Texans 20 (OT)

Matt Ryan managed to rally the Colts back from being down 20-3 going into the fourth quarter, but neither his team nor the Davis Mills led Texans could out get anything going in the overtime period, resulting in the first tie of the new season.

​Colts​

• Matt Ryan: 32-50, 352 YDS, 1 TD, 1 INT
  
• Jonathan Taylor: 31 CAR, 161 YDS, 1 TD

​Texans​

• Davis Mills: 23-37, 240 YDS, 2 TD
  
• Rex Burkhead: 14 CAR, 40 YDS
  
• Brandin Cooks: 7 REC, 82 YDS
  

New York Giants 21, Tennessee Titans 20

After Daniel Jones found Chris Myarick for a last minute touchdown to bring the game to within one, Giants coach Brian Daboll opted to keep his offense on the field and go for the win and was successful. Daboll gets his first victory as a head coach against last year’s No. 1 seed in the AFC.

• Kyle Philips: 6 REC, 66 YDS
  

Minnesota Vikings 23, Green Bay Packers 7

The Vikings flat out dominated the short-handed Packers on Sunday afternoon, with Justin Jefferson’s career day possibly being a glimpse of the future of the NFC North once the back-to-back MVP decides to walk away.

​Vikings​

• Kirk Cousins: 23-32, 277 YDS, 2 TD
  
• Dalvin Cook: 20 CAR, 90 YDS

• AJ Dillion: 5 REC, 46 YDS
  

Kansas City Chiefs 44, Arizona Cardinals 21

Throwing for three touchdown passes on Kansas City’s first three drives of the game, this one was never in doubt for Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in their first game since trading away Tyreek Hill to the Dolphins.

​Chiefs​

• Patrick Mahomes: 30-39, 360 YDS, 5 TD
  
• Isiah Pacheco: 12 CAR, 62 YDS, 1 TD

Los Angeles Chargers 24, Las Vegas Raiders 19

The Chargers’ busy off-season seemed to show its worth on Sunday, as all three of Justin Herbert’s touchdown passes were caught by guys making their Chargers’ debut. Khalil Mack totaled three sacks in his first game as a Charger on the defensive side of the ball, propelling the team to its fourth straight season opening win.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers 19, Dallas Cowboys 3

The big storyline out of this one is the hand injury suffered by quarterback Dak Prescott, and speculation is that he will he out somewhere from the next 4-6 weeks in what is a pivotal year for Mike McCarthy and the Cowboys.

​Buccaneers​

• Tom Brady: 18-27, 212 YDS, 1 TD, 1 INT
  
• Leonard Fournette: 21 CAR, 127 YDS

• Ezekiel Elliot: 10 CAR, 52 YDS
  
• Noah Brown: 5 REC, 68 YDS
  

Seattle Seahawks 17, Denver Broncos 16

Russell Wilson’s return to Seattle was spoiled by Geno Smith and the Seahawks in a game that left many questioning new Broncos’ head coach Nathaniel Hackett’s use of timeouts late in the game.

​Seahawks​

• Rashaad Penny: 12 CAR, 60 YDS
