Dive into the NFL Week 1 statistical explosion, featuring historic performances by Tyreek Hill, Baker Mayfield, and rookie sensations.
Week 1 unleashed football fireworks across the NFL.
Tyreek Hill obliterated expectations with a career-long 80-yard touchdown. He now ranks among Pro Football Hall of Famers with 12 touchdowns over 75 yards.
Baker Mayfield torched Washington with four touchdown passes. His 146.4 rating put him in elite quarterback company.
Kicking became an art form:
- 19 field goals over 50 yards set a new NFL record.
- Chris Boswell and Ka’imi Fairbairn made history with three 50-yard field goals.
The New Orleans Saints continued their Week 1 dominance. They crushed Carolina 47-10, extending their six-game opening week winning streak.
Defensive backs showed their versatility. Alontae Taylor recorded three sacks, a rare feat for a cornerback.
Chicago and Pittsburgh proved winning isn’t always pretty. Both teams secured victories without scoring an offensive touchdown.
The Denver Broncos added another quirky footnote. They became the first team since 2017 to record multiple safeties in a game.
