Kyler leads the comeback
The Arizona Cardinals looked dead in the water against the Lions but Kyler Murray showed a whole lot of composure by helping lead a fourth quarter comeback. The Cards eventually tied the game and forced overtime, where things ended in a tie. But Arizona has reason to feel good about the top overall pick with the way he played down the stretch. This throw to Larry Fitzgerald was a thing of beauty.
LARRY LEGEND

Chargers survive in OT
After the late surge by Indy, the Chargers bounced back and managed to, well, charge down the field and punch in a touchdown on the first possession of overtime to seal the win. Austin Ekeler picked up his third touchdown of the afternoon to win it. Hot seat: Melvin Gordon.

Clutch Colts
T.Y. Hilton came up huge for Indianapolis with this big-time catch and scamper to the end zone in the final minute of their game in Los Angeles. That score (plus a two-point conversion from Marlon Mack) helped Indy tie the game and force overtime. Even without Andrew Luck, the Colts put up a good fight against the Chargers, who seemed at times to be trying their best to lose the opener.

Malik Hooker YOINKS one
The best catch of Sunday's action didn't come from a wideout or running back -- it came from Colts safety Malik Hooker, and he only needed one hand. Hooker absolutely heisted a touchdown from the Chargers with this sick one-handed interception in the end zone, and it's one of the better defensive plays you'll see for a while.

Richard Sherman gets his first pick
It took a little over a year but Richard Sherman has his first pick in a 49ers uniform, and it's a pick-six. The veteran corner took advantage of a terrible throw from Jameis Winston and took it to the house for San Francisco.
Richard Sherman's first interception with the @49ers is a PICK-6! 👏 #GoNiners #SFvsTB @RSherman_25

Time to pay Dak
Dak Prescott is balling early in Week 1, throwing three first half touchdowns to kick off his season. That's a strong start for a man looking for his payday, though it probably helps he's playing against the Giants. Either way, this throw to Amari Cooper was absolutely perfect.

Welcome back, Jason Witten!
Jason Witten is out of the broadcast booth and back on the gridiron and the old man is still catching touchdowns. The veteran tight end hauled in his 69th career TD reception on Sunday, which makes it a pretty nice return to football for him.

Rough start for Kyler Murray
Kyler Murray's first quarter of NFL football hasn't exactly gone his way. Not only did he throw an ugly interception against the Lions, but he was also sacked by his own offensive lineman. I know Murray is a small QB, but trying to jump over him probably isn't going to work out for most linemen.

Josh Allen leads Bills comeback
Things didn't get off to the best start for the Bills as they fell into a 16-0 hole against the Jets. However, Josh Allen and Buffalo came storming back in the second half and stunned the Jets with a 17-16 victory. The game-winning strike came when Allen found John Brown for a 38-yard touchdown.

DeSean Jackson back to flying with Eagles
The Eagles got off to a pretty ugly start on Sunday, but they pulled ahead of the Redskins thanks to the one and only DeSean Jackson. The wide receiver is back with Philly and, as it turns out, he's still extremely fast. He's got two long touchdowns in his return to the Eagles.

Le'Veon Bell double-dipping in the end zone
Le'Veon Bell is back in action and in a new uniform, but he's still that dangerous dual threat in the Jets green. Bell scored his first touchdown in a New York uniform with this grab, then doubled-down by snagging the two-point conversion with an impressive catch.

Patrick Mahomes picks up where he left off
The reigning NFL MVP's season got off to a pretty hot start in Kansas City. Patrick Mahomes carved up the Jaguars defense through the first two quarters, picking up 313 yards through the air and throwing for two touchdowns. That yardage total was a career best in the first half for Mahomes.
Both of those TD strikes were big ones to Sammy Watkins, who also caught a third TD in the second half.

Mahomes briefly stopped hearts when he came off the field limping, but he ultimately stayed in the game and continued to inflict damage.
Twice Upon A Time In Hollywood
Lamar Jackson is having himself a first half in Miami, throwing four (FOUR!) touchdown passes in the first two quarters. Two of those TD passes went to Marquise "Hollywood" Brown, with both going for major yardage.
The @Ravens are going Hollywood!

For those keeping track at home, that's two Jackson-to-Brown connections for 130 yards and two touchdowns. Not a bad start for the rookie wide receiver.
It's going to be a long year for the Dolphins, but it also might be a very long year for Lamar Jackson haters. If only he could throw!
Nick Foles throws dime but goes down
Nick Foles' first touchdown pass in a Jaguars uniform was an absolute beauty. The new Jacksonville quarterback found DJ Clark in the end zone with a dime, but Foles didn't even get to enjoy it because he suffered a shoulder injury on the sequence. He headed to the locker room shortly after and was ruled out for the remainder of the game. Gardner Minshew II took over under center for the Jags.
New team, same magic.@NickFoles throws an absolute DIME to @DJChark82 for the @Jaguars TD! #KCvsJAX

Vernon Davis pulls early magic
Vernon Davis is not only still playing football at 35 years old, but he may have delivered one of the best plays of the year early in the first quarter of Week 1. The veteran tight end made a third-down grab against the Eagles and somehow managed to pull out some old man wizardry to stay in bounds and take it the distance.
We know it's early but this could end up being one of the best TDs of the year. Welcome back, football!
Vernon Davis is 35 and he just did this 😳

Adrian Peterson inactive for season opener
Once one of the best running backs in the league, Redskins rusher Adrian Peterson is inactive for his team's Week 1 matchup with the Eagles. Our Patrik Walker has more:
When the Washington Redskins lost second-round pick Derrius Guice to a torn ACL last August that ended his NFL rookie year before it ever started, it was Peterson who stepped up and kept the ship afloat, despite the slew of quarterback injuries that ultimately derailed any hope of making it to the playoffs. With no definitive QB to key in on following the season-ending knee injury to Alex Smith, and with no dominant wide receiver to fear, all opposing defenses had to do was load up and stop Peterson -- if they could. More often than not, they couldn't, and the ageless All-Pro delivered 1,042 rushing yards and seven touchdowns in 16 starts.
Guice is now back in the mix, though, and the plan to give him a hefty chunk of the workload is understandable to a degree. He is the guy the team gave up a second-round pick for, after all, but what's now occurring in Landover is catching many by surprise. The Redskins have reportedly opted to deactivate a healthy Peterson for their Week 1 battle with the Philadelphia Eagles, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, and this comes only months after the future Hall of Famer chose to re-sign with the club on a two-year deal worth $8 million.
