The Chargers were up 21 points early in the second half, but Alex Smith’s two-yard touchdown run in overtime completed the largest comeback in Chiefs history. One team did lose after coughing up a huge lead on Sunday. The Lions beat the Colts, 39-35, after a safety on the final play. But Matt Stafford drove Detroit 50 yards, and Matt Prater atoned for his earlier extra-point miss with the game-winning field goal. And it looked like they’d lose again this season after Andrew Luck’s fourth touchdown pass of the day and an Adam Vinatieri extra point game the Colts the lead with just 37 seconds left. For the second consecutive year in Week 1, the Lions let a team come back from a 21-3 deficit. Winston threw three TD passes on three straight drives to give the Bucs a big lead. Winston went 23-of-33 for 281 yards, completing passes to eight different receivers in the win. He tossed four touchdown passes in the Buccaneers’ 31-24 victory over the Falcons. Jameis Winston looked good in the first start of his second season. This incredible grab gives the the lead! #NEvsAZ - NFL September 12, 2016 The Vikings, down 10-0 at half, won 25-16 despite an offense that did basically nothing. Add in another fumble recovery, two sacks and just 16 points allowed and the Vikings’ D put up 21 points in standard-scoring leagues. TD returns are pretty random, but the Minnesota defense put up solid numbers in other areas as well. The D picked up the O: Eric Kendricks returned an interception 77 yards for a touchdown to give Minnesota the lead, and Danielle Hunter’s 24-yard fumble return for a score put the game out of reach. Minnesota’s offense couldn’t get going all day: Adrian Peterson had just 31 yards rushing, and the Vikings had no points at halftime. Rarely does your defense/special teams win you a fantasy game, but it might’ve happened this week. On Sunday the Jets didn’t, and they lost. Matt Forte, signed this offseason by New York, said “we expect to score” in the red zone. New York were inside the 10 twice in the fourth quarter and couldn’t punch into the end zone - including one drive early in the fourth when the Jets had first and goal at the 3-yard line. The Jets’ loss wasn’t really his fault, though. Folk did hit his other three field goal attempts. And the wind kind of ate it up.… That was a wind that we hadn’t had here in a long time.” These were kicks NFL kickers hit 95% of the time. “At that end the wind was pretty tricky, you had to hit really clean balls all day,” Folk said. They were the only team to win a game by double digits in Week 1. The Eagles won his debut relatively easily, 29-10. His final numbers weren’t quite parade worthy, but he did have an impressive debut: 22 of 37 for 278 yards and two touchdowns. Some Philadelphians began planning a parade. His last pass was a perfectly-placed throw to Jordan Matthews for a 19-yard touchdown. He went 4-for-5 on that drive – with the only incomplete a dropped pass – and drew the defense offsides with a hard count on a third-and-short as well. Wentz looked like a vet in his first drive. That was Carson Wentz after his first NFL start - after getting just 38 snaps in the preseason. I had a lot of fun today and it turned out good. I like to listen to worship music before the game to calm my nerves and go out and have fun. Ezekiel Elliott rushed for 50 yards on 21 carries, but did score his first career touchdown. Dak Prescott went 25-of-45 for 227 yards. The Cowboys started a rookie running back and receiver in the opener for the first time since Roger Staubach and Calvin Hill in 1969. You just couldn’t make up a story any better than that.” I’m sure I’ve got that down pat.” (Yes, his salsa touchdown dance appeared to be executed flawlessly.) “Everybody just pulled for me each and every day, each and every week as we got closer to Week 1. “You couldn’t even describe what was going through my body,” Cruz said. Eli Manning threw three touchdowns and improved to 13-12 against the Cowboys all-time (including a postseason win). Cruz missed the entirety of last season his TD was his first since September of 2014. The game-winning score went instead to Victor Cruz, who caught a three-yard touchdown with six minutes to play. ![]()
