The Lions ran for 181 yards as a team, the second-highest total in any game since Dan Campbell arrived.Įxpect more big rushing performances from Detroit in 2022 with Swift getting the opportunity to lead a potent attack. Swift is due for a breakout season, and is off to an excellent start after torching the Eagles defense for 144 rushing yards and a touchdown - averaging 9.6 yards per carry. Running backs coach Duce Staley and offensive line coach Hank Fraley are aware how important a good running game is toward offensive success, which is why Staley was pressing Swift so hard in camp. Detroit Lionsĭ'Andre Swift has created a dangerous run game: The Lions have a very good offensive line, even if they were missing Halapoulivaati Vaitai and had Frank Ragnow playing hurt Sunday. Hackett has to be better in the red zone, which shouldn't be hidden because of his poor clock management. They are the first team to do this since the Chiefs in Week 3 of the 1987 season, showcasing how rare this ineptitude is. The Broncos had 10 goal-to-go plays, resulting in two fumbles and zero points. Denver was 0-for-4 in the red zone and 0-for-3 in goal-to-go situations, led by two fumbles at the 1-yard line on consecutive possessions that played a huge role in the one-point loss. Red zone mistakes have to be corrected: Forget all of Nathaniel Hackett's blunders at the end of the game, the Broncos had plenty of mistakes in the red zone that led to the shocking loss in Seattle. Jones had an opportunity to be creative with the cap and add depth on offense and didn't.
Both backup quarterbacks were released and went unclaimed on waivers at roster cutdowns. With Prescott injured for an extended period, Dallas doesn't have a backup quarterback that can keep them afloat either. Dallas has an offensive line that can't protect Prescott and no depth at wide receiver ( James Washington and Michael Gallup are injured) for Prescott to trust. The results were three points and 12 first downs, the worst marks since Dallas drafted Prescott in 2016. Jackson rushed for just 17 yards and the Ravens had their fewest rushing yards in a game (63) since Jackson became the starting quarterback, yet he still threw for three touchdowns and finished with a 98.3 passer rating. Lamar Jackson can pass: Like when Happy Gilmore taunts Shooter McGavin when making a putt in the tour championship, Jackson taunted the Jets defense with three touchdown throws in the season-opening win. The Falcons have a new coach and front office, yet the franchise still finds a way to blow big leads.
How historic is the Falcons collapse? Atlanta is 5-3 when leading by 15 points in the 4th quarter, but the rest of the NFL is 244-2-1. Jarvis Landry had 92 yards in the final quarter alone. Jameis Winston went 13 of 16 for 213 yards and two touchdowns in the fourth quarter, as the secondary all of a sudden became nonexistent. The Falcons had 13 plays for 68 yards during the collapse, while the defense allowed 213 yards after giving up just 172 yards in the previous nine possessions. The Cardinals blitzed Mahomes more than he had ever been in his entire career, and the Chiefs quarterback torched them for four touchdown passes against the blitz - and all five of his scores were against man coverage. Vance Joseph should have known that wasn't going to work based on what Mahomes has shown in the past. Watt available, the Cardinals threw the kitchen sink to try and stop Mahomes. Arizona Cardinalsīlitzing Patrick Mahomes was destined to fail: With no J.J.
There are still some things to take away from each team, which we'll unravel with Week 1 in the books.
With all the madness in Week 1, it's hard to gauge the outlook of each team after the opening week of the season. 2022 kickoff weekend was also the fourth time that multiple teams overcame a deficit of at least 16 points to win or tie in Week 1, which has occurred three times in the last four years (20). The league had five games decided by a game-winning score in the final two minutes of regulation or in overtime, tied for the third-most such games in Week 1 (and the most since 2002).įour teams overcame deficits of at least 10 points to win or tie in Week 1, the first time that happened in 20 years. The NFL arguably had its most exciting Week 1 in years, living up to the offseason hype generated by all the player movement over the spring and summer months.
