The Texans look even better this season after the addition of Stefon Diggs. Plus, Josh Allen kicked off his MVP campaign and the Bears proved they can win ugly.
Week 1 of the NFL season brought some surprises, such as Joe Burrow’s Cincinnati Bengals losing to the New England Patriots—you know, the team many expected to end up with the worst record in the league.
Heading into this season, the Texans generated plenty of hype due to their notable offseason moves, but there was hesitation by some to view them as true threats to the Kansas City Chiefs and the other AFC contenders because they bet on a trio of veterans—wide receiver Stefon Diggs, running back Joe Mixon and edge rusher Danielle Hunter.
Richardson went 9-of-19 for 212 yards, two touchdowns and one interception, and added six carries for 56 yards and one touchdown. Expect these two rising AFC South squads to make plenty of noise in 2024.It was somewhat surprising how many pundits were low on the Cowboys heading into the season.
Going back to Prescott’s new four-year, $240 million deal, it wasn’t surprising, at least to me, that Jones once again paid his quarterback despite the lack of playoff wins. There’s an argument to be made that Prescott is a top-10 quarterback and better than most quarterbacks who got paid this offseason such as Jared Goff, Tua Tagovailoa, Trevor Lawrence and Jordan Love.
Harbaugh’s offense struggled throughout his Chargers coaching debut, but he has a reputation for winning games in ugly fashion while also making life easier for his quarterbacks. That occurred Sunday, with Justin Herbert getting plenty of help from a ground game that recorded 176 yards. Dobbins had 135 of those yards, including a 12-yard rushing score, to show he’s healthy after a few injury-riddled seasons with the Baltimore Ravens.
Coleman, a second-round pick, showed off his sizable catch radius after Allen threw a 50–50 ball down the right sideline that turned into an acrobatic 28-yard catch to put Buffalo inside the red zone. Two plays later, Allen flexed his muscles with a six-yard touchdown run to extend the Bills’ lead 31–20 midway through the fourth quarter.
