Opening week produced early drama, including a season opener where the Eagles held off the Cowboys despite a lightning delay and the ejection of defensive tackle Jalen Carter before the first play. The Chargers stunned the Chiefs with a tight win in São Paulo, Brazil. New Colts quarterback Daniel Jones accounted for three total touchdowns in a blowout of the Dolphins, completing 22-of-29 for 272 yards and a touchdown pass while adding two rushing scores on goal-line sneaks. The Colts showed new defensive aggressiveness under coordinator Lou Anarumo, using varied blitzes that generated sacks and an interception.
"In the season opener on Thursday, the Eagles held off the Cowboys despite a lightning delay and the ejection of defensive tackle Jalen Carter before the first play from scrimmage. The action continued Friday night, when the Chargers stunned the Chiefs with a tight win in São Paulo, Brazil. And in the early window Sunday, new Colts quarterback Daniel Jones scored three total touchdowns in a blowout win over the Dolphins."
"All along, coach Shane Steichen had predicted Jones would be a quick decision-maker and not force bad throws. He showed that by delivering on-time, quick throws but also utilizing timely aggressive downfield targets to Michael Pittman Jr., Tyler Warren and Alec Pierce. Jones finished 22-of-29 for 272 yards and a touchdown pass."
