Week 1 quick game review blurbs

Ranking today's games from least exciting to most exciting

Patriots at Dolphins

49ers at Bengals
Garoppolo’s return post-ACL should no longer concern anyone

Chiefs at Raiders
This might be the last NFL game ever to be played on a dirt baseball infield. Football games have been played on dirt baseball infields for the entire 100 year history of the league.

Saints at Rams
I guess we'll never know how this NFC Championship rematch would have turned out had Brees not gotten injured

Bills at Giants
Josh Allen’s “I am in New York” line was hilarious. The reporter needs to #learngeography

Cowboys at Redskins
Adrian Peterson passed Jim Brown on the all-time rush TD list

Vikings at Packers
Matt LaFleur is the first Packers head coach to start 2-0 since Vince Lombardi

Cardinals at Ravens
Hollywood Brown iced the game against his old QB, Kyler Murray

Chargers at Lions
Too many missed kicks in this game on both sides

Colts at Titans
I think Adam Vinatieri’s going to retire tomorrow

Jaguars at Texans
Both AFC South games this week featured bold decisions to go for it at the end of the game. The Colts went for it on 4th and inches on their own side of the field when they already had the lead, and they won. The Jaguars went for 2 and the win instead of 1 and OT, and lost.

Seahawks at Steelers
These pass interference reviews are getting ridiculous.

Eagles at Falcons
While their last 2 meetings ended with incomplete to Jones on 4th down, this time not only did Jones complete the 4th down for a touchdown, but also later in the game, the Eagles were the ones who lost by failing to convert a 4th down

Bears at Broncos
All this happened in the last 31 seconds of the game:
-Broncos TD
-Broncos decide to go for 2 and the win
-Broncos penalty pushes them back, so they change their mind and decide to kick the XP to tie
-MISSED extra point
-HOWEVER, Bears penalty, so now the Broncos are closer to the end zone, so they decide to go for 2 again, get it, and they lead by 1
-Bears 4th and 10 in their own territory with :06 left
-They convert it, and call timeout with :01 left
-51-yd FG, Bears win
