Brothers Amon-Ra and Equanimeous St. Brown have started the NFL– Season scored a touchdown for their teams and thus provided a novelty.
Never in the history of the USFootball-Profiliga have two German professionals on the same day in the National Football League dotted. In his first competitive game for the Chicago Bears scored the 25-year-old Equanimeous St. Brown Touchdown to the interim 13:10 and the lead that took the Bears to an unexpected 19:10 once morest the highly traded San Francisco 49ers expand. He caught an 18-Yards-Pass.
Equanimeous St. Brown: “I’m very satisfied”
“I’m very happy. It was a bit difficult because of the rain, but we won the game and I got a touchdown”said St. Brown: “That was very important. That way I can get momentum and benefit from it.”
His brother Amon-Ra St. Brown, who was three years younger, caught a short pass over four yards on his touchdown and was able to end the narrow 35:38 defeat of the Detroit Lions once morest the Philadelphia Eagles but not prevent. With a total of eight passes caught for 64 yards, St. Brown was the most successful Receiver with the Lions and thus immediately confirmed the strong performances at the end of the past season.
Jakob Johnson suffered a loss on his debut for the Las Vegas Raiders. The fullback from Stuttgart, who came from the New England Patriots, lost 19:24 with his new team at the Los Angeles Chargers.
Prescott with injury and defeat at the start
The start of the season might hardly have gone worse for the Dallas Cowboys and football star Dak Prescott. The quarterback suffered a fracture on the thumb of his throwing hand and will be missing for weeks following an operation – the opening game once morest the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for superstar Tom Brady was lost 3:19. “It’s very disappointing,” Prescott said, “but injuries happen. I can’t be there for my team for a while, it hurts more than anything.” The Cowboys last had less than six points in their first game of the season in 1989, in a 28-0 loss to the New Orleans Saints.
Brady made a successful start to his 23rd and perhaps final season. At 45, the seven-time Super Bowl champion is the oldest starting quarterback in an NFL game. Brady, however, conceded two sacks and threw an interception. “We have a lot to talk regarding,” said the veteran.
Things went better for Patrick Mahomes. The Kansas City Chiefs playmaker made five touchdown passes in the 44-21 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Aaron Rodgers, last season’s most valuable player (MVP), lost 7:23 with the Green Bay Packers at the Minnesota Vikings.
