After many months of waiting, the NFL has already started, a competition that has returned in style with exciting games and spectacular performances. Below, we review some of the keys that have marked this day

Are the 2022 Dolphins back?

Miami Dolphins beat Chargers 17 – 23 in a marked game due to the offensive explosiveness of the Florida team. As we saw in the first section of the 2022 season, the Dolphins once once more showed their best side and They were unstoppable in the aerial game. The duo Tua – Hill fIt’s the best news for McDaniel, a duo that destroyed the Los Angeles high school.

Tagovailoa had one of the best performances for a quarterback in the first week of the NFL in all of history, cwith 466 yards, 3 touchdowns and an interception on 28/45 passing. At his side, Tyreek Hill also finished with monstrous numbers: 215 yards and 2 touchdowns on 11 receptions. Who stops these two?

On the other side of the coin, the Chargers were more discreet in the passing game, with the running back Austin Ekeler who took the lead during the match. The running back finished with 117 yards and 1 touchdown, while Justin Herbert had 228 passing yards and 1 touchdown.

Browns defense ‘drys’ Burrow’s Bengals

The Browns defeated the Cincinatti Bengals 3 – 24 thanks to a defensive exhibition by the Cleveland franchise. It was a divisional duel between the two teams from Ohio, and the balance ended up tilting in favor of the locals, who knew how to completely ‘dry’ one of the most talented offenses in the entire competition.

Myles Garrett and Okoronkwo added a sack each for the Browns, and high school players like Delpit, Newsome and Ward were fantastic stopping Chase and HigginsCincinnati’s two main threats and who might not shine at any time.

Deshaun Watson nor was especially successful, showing some irregularity in his passess, and finished with 154 yards, 1TD and 1 INT. Joe Burrow was one of the negative notes of the meeting. The quarterback was not comfortable at any time, and he did not show the flashes of quality to which we are accustomed. The most alarming thing? He was left with only 82 yards in the entire match. Much to improve in Bengals.

49ers y Rams dominan

The Rams faced a difficult divisional duel once morest the Seahawks, but they did their homework and ended up winning 30-13 on the scoreboard. The great news for the Angelenos was the level shown by Matthew Stafford, which recalled, now, the 2021 version, the year in which he led the team to the SuperBowl. He had 334 passing yards and looked comfortable in the pocket, something we saw in dribs and drabs last year. The surprise was in the receivers’ room, with two strangers being unexpected protagonists: Tutu Atwell and Puka Nacua, both with 119 receiving yardsn, they managed to forget the loss of Cooper Kupp on the wings.

In the Seattle box there was more bad news than good. His two starting tackles, Charles Cross and Abraham Lucas, were injureduring the game, which caused a ‘disaster’ in the Seahawks’ offensive line, overwhelmed by rival pressure. He might do little Geno Smith. The most positive note was the good first part ofe Kenneth Walker (64yds) y DK Metcalf (47 yds/ 1td).

The ones who slammed the table were the 49ers, who defeated the Steelers 30-7. Those from the Bay were magnificently led by Brock Purdy, who seems to have returned from injury without problem. The second-year quarterback got 220 yards passing with 2 touchdowns. ‘Mr Irrelevant’ led Shanahan He worked wonderfully, and we saw him especially solvent once morest one of the best lines of pressure in the NFL.

The San Francisco playmaker corps appears once morer, with a stellar McCaffrey (152yds and 1td) and a Brandon Ayuk who is fighting to take over the WR1 position on the team, signing 129 receiving yards along with 2 touchdowns.

Kenny Picket’s Steelers might do little once morest what was the best defense in the entire NFL in 2022. Drake Jackson sacked the quarterback 3 times and Fred Warner once once more dominated from the linebacker position.

Jordan Love makes Aaron Rodgers forget

The Packers may have found out (now) who Jordan Love is. Now without Aaron Rodgers and freed from the chains of the bench, the Green Bay quarterback led his team towards the victory over the Bears by 38-20, in a historic NFL divisional duel.

Love finished the contest with 245 passing yards and 3 touchdowns, with a 15/27 passing mark., but the best were the sensations it left. Whether from the pocket or in scramble situations, the fourth-year quarterback found solutions for the offense. His performance in play action punished one and once more the Chicago defense, which might not stop Aaron Jones, a runner who had 127 yards and 2 scores in total.

In the Bears team we were able to see little of the new QB-WR connection, a subject marked as ‘mandatory’ if the franchise wants to progress in the future. Justin Fields passed for 216 yards and ran for another 59, while DJ Moore only caught 2 passes for 25 yards. There is still a lot of work to do for Matt Eberflus’ men, who once once more showed their worst side in defense, something we already saw last season
