The first Sunday of the new NFL season was nothing short of spectacular, with stars like Tyreek Hill, Dak Prescott, and Caleb Williams lighting up the field. Week One saw dramatic comebacks, new faces in key roles, and plenty of action to keep fans on the edge of their seats.
Caleb Williams made history as the Chicago Bears’ new quarterback, becoming the first number one draft pick in over two decades to win his debut start. Though his stats were modest, Williams led a 17-point comeback to defeat the Tennessee Titans 24-17, fueled by a stellar Bears defense and special teams.
Meanwhile, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott celebrated his record-breaking $240 million contract by leading his team to a convincing 33-17 win over the Cleveland Browns. While Prescott didn’t throw any touchdowns, the Cowboys’ defense took center stage with six sacks and two interceptions.
In Miami, Tyreek Hill rebounded from a police incident earlier in the day to deliver an 80-yard touchdown, sparking the Dolphins’ 20-17 comeback victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Hill’s celebration, mimicking his run-in with the law, added drama to an already eventful day.
Across the league, other standout performances included Josh Allen’s dual-threat heroics for the Buffalo Bills, as well as dramatic overtime wins and new head coaches making their mark. Week One delivered on excitement and set the tone for an unpredictable NFL season ahead.
