At the end of the first quarter, the Bears and 49ers have combined for 91 yards — the Bears have only 21. The Steelers are up to three takeaways in just over one quarter of play against the Bengals. In the first quarter, each player had one target and no catches. The first touchdown in this game comes when Mac Jones is strip-sacked. •4m ago Which makes the early lack of run blocking a bit concerning.

For the first full weekend of the 2022 NFL schedule, here are the odds, picks, and predictions for Week 1.
The Chargers are my Super Bowl pick because I believe in Justin Herbert and their loaded roster. That crazy 35-32 season finale makes me want to take the hook with the Raiders as we finish off our six pack of divisional underdogs. Davante Adams has left the building, and new No. Colts won the two matchups by a combined 62-3 in 2021. I was stunned when the hook became available with the Patriots earlier in the week. Last Halloween, the Eagles destroyed them in Detroit, 44-6, and I only see Philly getting better with the additions of A.J. Next is the Super Bowl loser jinx, which has seen those teams go 4-18 ATS in the following Week 1 over the past 22 seasons, per Action Network’s C Jackson Cowart. Lot of people are loving the Lions because of “Hard Knocks,” but I don’t see the translation. Another is that Brian Daboll and Wink Martindale, two AFC veterans, should know a lot more about the Titans than Mike Vrabel does about the Giants. Those numbers are hidden deep inside the unsuccessful tenures of Pat Shurmur and Joe Judge. With seven points to spare in a week when lots of crazy things happen, let’s give it a shot. I’m interested to see what the defense looks like with actual edge rushers (Carl Lawson and Jermaine Johnson) and a new shutdown corner (Sauce Gardner).
Chicago Bears 19, San Francisco 49ers 10; Miami Dolphins 20, New England Patriots 7; Baltimore Ravens 24, New York Jets 9; Philadelphia Eagles 38, Detroit Lions ...
His impressive interception put the Steelers in position to score (they did on a 1-yard touchdown pass to [Najee Harris](/players/najee-harris-x2665/)), and he was a factor throughout the game -- that is, until he exited with a pectoral injury feared to be significant. [Kwity Paye](/players/kwity-paye/), the Colts had a chance to win it on a 42-yard field goal attempt, but kicker [Rodrigo Blankenship](/players/rodrigo-blankenship/)missed wide right. But the Texans defense was not fooled, and [Jonathan Greenard](/players/jonathan-greenard/)stopped Hines in his tracks to take over on downs. That held true for most of the game, with the Steelers limiting the Bengals to a field goal on a red-zone trip before the half, and the unit stepped up when it mattered most, strip-sacking [Joe Burrow](/players/joe-burrow/)and pushing the Bengals out of field goal range in overtime. In the end, however, there were too many missed opportunities to score more points for the Falcons as 12 of their points were off the foot of [Younghoe Koo](/players/younghoe-koo/). [Minkah Fitzpatrick](/players/minkah-fitzpatrick/)pick) for a touchdown. Mayfield scored on the ground, fired a 75-yard touchdown pass to [Robbie Anderson](/players/robbie-anderson/), and led a scoring drive to put the Panthers ahead. And then, thanks to the contributions of [Christian McCaffrey](/players/christian-mccaffrey/), Carolina woke up -- and nearly won the game. [Nick Chubb](/players/nick-chubb/)ripped up 141 yards on 22 carries, while [Kareem Hunt](/players/kareem-hunt/)served as the lightning to his thunder, gaining 46 yards and scoring a touchdown on 11 carries. [Tua Tagovailoa](/players/tua-tagovailoa/)to [Tyreek Hill](/players/tyreek-hill/)didn't look exactly like [Patrick Mahomes](/players/patrick-mahomes/)to Hill did the past five years. Swift displayed burst to the hole, shiftiness in space, a third gear in the third level, and a willingness to take on contact. Three turnovers (two by [Mac Jones](https://www.nfl.com/players/mac-jones/), including a strip-sack return for a touchdown) put the Patriots behind the 8-ball, and this is not a team built to erase big leads.
The Steelers defense returned to form and A.J. Brown gave the Eagles the receiving target it has lacked as the N.F.L. wobbled in the first week of the ...
Jaguars 22, Commanders 28: Carson Wentz had an extremely Carson Wentz game, tossing four touchdowns (a couple of which required excellent touch) and appearing to try to throw the game away in the second half. Jonathan Taylor wore down the Texans defense, plowing through for 161 yards and a score on 31 carries, but Indianapolis still left with a tie thanks to a 42-yard missed field goal attempt from the goggle-god, Rodrigo Blankenship, with two minutes remaining in overtime. The overhang above a concourse at FedEx leaked as a result of a busted pipe, in what is becoming a ritual of building failures. Even the painted sidelines started to lose their form in a way that made it seem like the ground crew was drunk when they put them on there. Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif., and Allegiant Stadium for the Las Vegas Raiders all opened in the past five years and have set a new standard for the live N.F.L. Puddles formed everywhere, and players struggled to find their footing pregame and early in the match. The Eagles traded for the former Titans receiver in April and promptly signed him to a four-year, $100 million contract extension that paid off Sunday with dunks all over the Lions’ secondary. Brown hasn’t solved anything as far as Hurts’s hesitancy to throw over the middle, a tendency that showed as Philadelphia eked out a 38-35 win over Detroit. The Steelers bullied the rookie left guard Cordell Volson, who gave up a sack to Cameron Heyward on Cincinnati’s first offensive play, then targeted Volson’s side of the line for Highsmith’s first sack of the day. Pull the lever again and you get a blitz package that frees up linebacker Alex Highsmith to beat an offensive tackle one-on-one for a strip sack. wobbled in the first week of the regular season. The Steelers defense returned to form and A.J.

AFC South teams played the New York Giants, Washington Commanders and each other — and still emerged with zero wins. The Chicago Bears and San Francisco 49ers ...
Rookie Christian Watson, the second-round pick the Packers chose in April, sprinted behind the defense in the first quarter, only for Rodgers’s perfect pass — and a sure touchdown — to fall through his hands. Rodgers had less success in moving on from Davante Adams, who in his Raiders debut caught 10 passes for 141 yards and a touchdown in a loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Still, Jackson stands to benefit from the principle and backbone he has brought to negotiations. In his first game sans Hill, Mahomes competed 30 of 39 passes for 360 yards and five touchdowns as the Chiefs pasted the host Arizona Cardinals, scoring a league-high 44 points. Joe Burrow erased a 14-point deficit when he darted a touchdown pass to Ja’Marr Chase on the final play from scrimmage in regulation, only for Minkah Fitzpatrick to block the PAT. Josh Allen dispatched any worry that he would have difficulty adjusting without Daboll, the offensive coordinator who became the Giants’ coach (and won his debut with a comeback at Tennessee). Lance is clearly a great talent and gets lauded by teammates for his maturity, but he is not in an environment suited for development. But the 49ers are expected to compete for the Super Bowl, and they just lost to one of the league’s expected bottom dwellers as Lance played poorly. The Chicago Bears and San Francisco 49ers played in a bog. The Cowboys emphasized decreasing penalties, and in their opener they committed 10. The product remains undefeated, and this is what to know. It could get worse: Jones was not available to speak with reporters because of a back injury, the Patriots said.
