This Sunday, in cities across the country, NFL fans were treated to an exciting start to the 2025 NFL season with Week 1 action. The day featured multiple games where teams showcased their new strategies and talents.

In Tampa, the Buccaneers started strong with a 27-14 win over the Falcons. Quarterback Baker Mayfield threw three touchdown passes, marking another successful Week 1 for him as the Buccaneers extended their winning streak to five season openers. Despite posting the fewest passing yards with three or more touchdowns in his career, Mayfield’s performance was enough to secure victory.

Meanwhile, in Cleveland, the Bengals fought hard against the Browns, clinching a narrow victory. The Browns had their win probability plummet dramatically due to an interception and missed field goal, leading to their defeat despite their attempts. The Bengals managed only 141 total net yards but emerged victorious, demonstrating how crucial it is to take advantage of opportunities.

In Miami, the Dolphins faced the Colts, with Tua Tagovailoa struggling under pressure, throwing two interceptions against a defense that generated little pressure. Despite his challenges, the day brought new milestones as Daniel Jones from the Giants made history by becoming one of few quarterbacks to throw for over 250 yards and score two rushing touchdowns in their season opener.

Jacksonville saw the Jaguars clamp down on the Panthers, allowing the fewest points and total yards in a season opener since 2017. The performance on defense was highlighted by impressive play from Travon Walker and others, indicating a strong start to the season.

The Raiders took on the Patriots in a high-scoring match, as Geno Smith threw for a record 362 yards in his debut with the team. His long touchdown pass marked a significant moment, showing potential for the offense moving forward.

The action continued with thrilling performances from teams including the 49ers and Seahawks, where quarterback Brock Purdy managed to remain effective despite facing high-pressure rates. In San Francisco, standouts like Christian McCaffrey made their mark with dual-threat capabilities.

This opening week of the NFL season provided fans with plenty of memorable highlights and set the stage for an exciting season ahead.
