NFL on [Your Network]: Falcons vs. Buccaneers & More

From 1 p.m., follow all the action in the NFL with NFL Redzone on the RDS.CA. We also present to you three games during the day on our waves.

Buccaners c. Falcons (1 p.m. to RDS2)

Quebecer Matthew Bergeron had told our colleague Éric Leblanc this summer that his third season in the NFL his approach was as follows: “Now, I try to dominate”.

The first test for the Quebec Falcons of Atlanta line player is this afternoon with the duel against a division rival, the Buccaneers of Tampa Bay. Bergeron and his teammates will ensure the protection of the quarter Michael Penix Jr.

The latter participated in five games last season, but the last three acting as leaving for the team. In 105 passes attempted, he had launched three passes of touching against three interceptions.

The work of the line to attack the Falcons will also be to open the way for the Ballon Bijan Robinson ball carrier. In his second season in the NFL last year, he obtained 1456 yards on the ground and he added 431 yards by the air. He had scored 15 touchdown.

The Buccaneers will want to continue after having finished at the top of the southern division of the national in the last four campaigns. The Falcons, however, won four of the five most recent confrontations between the two teams and they had swept the short series of two games in 2024.

Can Baker Mayfield have been as successful as in 2024? The quarter had finished second for the passes of touchdown with 41 and the yards by the pass (4500).

Lions c. Packers (4 p.m. to RDS2)

The meeting between the Lions of Detroit and the Packers of Green Bay promises to be an intriguing meeting at the start of the campaign in the NFL.

The packers caught attention during the dead season while the Lions won their last three games in Green Bay. In fact, their last defeat at Wisconsin dates back to the first departure on the road to Jared Goff with Detroit, in the second match in the Dan Campbell era.

The Lions are seen among the favorites to win the title of the Nord division in the NFC after a season of 15-2 last year.

Goff raised 4,957 yards last season. In the company of Ballon bearers Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery, this trio could make damage again.

In defense, Aidan Hutchinson remains a pillar of a solid defensive line, but which still remains worrying against the pass, having ranked 30th last year in this category.

Faced with packers, the Lions intend to exploit their offensive power and their defense against an improved ground attack to embark hard in this rivalry.

For their part, the packers begin the campaign with great ambitions, reinforced by the arrival of Micah Parsons in defense. Jordan Love, who has experienced an exceptional season by the pass, will lead a balanced attack, with Josh Jacobs as an engine on the ground.

After a season at 10-7, packers seek to win back the first place in their section during this first week shock. With a powerful attack and the advantage of the field, Green Bay intends to take advantage of this home advantage to start the season in force.

Ravens c. Bills (20 h à RDS)

The 1st Sunday evening match in the NFL is a shock from Titans.

On the one hand, the player par excellence of the last season, Josh Allen, on the other, the one who had deserved the title in 2023, and that some believed that he should also have prevailed for the 2024 campaign, Lamar Jackson.

The Buffalo Bills and the Ravens of Baltimore are thus found after their eliminatory duel which had resulted in a victory of the troop of Josh Allen by the brand of 27-25. We will especially remember the pass escaped by Mark Andrews on the transformation of two points at the end of the game.

The Bills won their division title (east of the American) in five consecutive seasons. This year, however, they do not want to see their journey being braked before the ultimate match, even less by the Chiefs of Kansas City.

Same story in the ravens for whom the pressure is mainly in the playoffs with mixed services.

Will Baltimore defense have a solution for the ground game of its rivals after allowing 147 yards by land during the setback in the playoffs? Among the Bills, Derrick Henry will obviously be monitored, but can it be mastered? During the last match between the two teams, he had only raised 21 yards on the ground in the first half and he had finished the game with 84 yards and a touchdown.

A duel noted on paper and it remains to be seen if the two teams will answer the call to close this day in the GOODELL circuit.
