The San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys got off to a great start on Sunday on the first day of the NFL regular season. The Californians clearly won against the Pittsburgh Steelers (30-7). Brock Purdy, the young quarterback from San Francisco (23 years old), threw 220 yards and two touchdown passes, while Christian McCaffrey rushed for 152 yards. On the defensive side, Drake Jackson signed three sacks.
Dallas, for its part, humiliated the New York Giants (40-0) at home. The Texan defense overwhelmed Daniel Jones, the New York QB, with seven sacks and two interceptions. The Cowboys’ ground game also performed well, with three TD’s, signed Tony Pollard and KaVontae Turpin. On the other hand, the Cincinnati Bengals and Joe Burrow missed their start, losing to the Cleveland Browns (24-3). Burrow threw for just 82 yards, his lowest total since joining the NFL three years ago.
Tagovailoa unleashed with Miami
The match between the Los Angeles Chargers and the Miami Dolphins, who each have a spectacular offense, kept all its promises. In California, it was the Floridians who won (36-34). Tua Tagovailoa, Miami’s quarterback, was stratospheric with 466 yards and made Tyreek Hill happy, who gained 215 and scored the winning TD 1’45” from the end of the match.
Now orphaned by Aaron Rodgers (who left for the NY Jets), the Green Bay Packers are relying on young Jordan Love (24 years old). The latter made his team win against the Chicago Bears (38-20), with three touchdown passes. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are playing without Tom Brady (retired). Baker Mayfield, his replacement, allowed his team to win against the Minnesota Vikings (20-17).
Jacksonville topples the Indianapolis Colts
The Jacksonville Jaguars and Trevor Lawrence, who reached the play-offs last season after several difficult years, won against the Indianapolis Colts (31-21). Trailing 17-21 at the end of the game, they scored two touchdowns in one minute to win. Superbowl finalists in February, the Philadelphia Eagles started their season with a success against the New England Patriots (25-20).
