In an exciting kickoff to the 2024 NFL season, the Kansas City Chiefs secured a 27-20 victory over the Baltimore Ravens, with Patrick Mahomes surpassing Len Dawson’s 28,507 passing yards, making him the all-time leading passer in Chiefs history.
Rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy made waves as he became the first player since Kareem Hunt in 2017 to achieve both a rushing and receiving touchdown on his NFL debut. Remarkably, he is only the second player ever to record a touchdown of more than 20 yards for both rushing and receiving in their debut, following James Brim in 1987.
In another standout performance, Saquon Barkley dazzled fans with three touchdowns on his debut for the Philadelphia Eagles, becoming just the ninth player in Super Bowl history to achieve this feat in their first game with a new team. This accomplishment places him just behind Gibby Welch, who scored four touchdowns in a debut game back in 1929.
The Buffalo Bills triumphed over the Arizona Cardinals, led by quarterback Josh Allen, who tied an NFL record for the fourth time with at least two touchdown passes and two rushing touchdowns in a single game.
Notably, Caleb Williams of the Chicago Bears made history by becoming the fourth No. 1 overall pick quarterback to win in Week One of their rookie season since 1970, joining the ranks of legendary players like John Elway and Jim Plunkett.
The New Orleans Saints continued their dominance with a sixth consecutive season-opening win, scoring 47 points against the Carolina Panthers—the highest they’ve ever recorded in a season opener.
Despite their loss to the Seattle Seahawks, the Denver Broncos made history as they became only the fifth team ever to lose a game while scoring two safeties.
The New York Jets faced a tough defeat against the 49ers, with Aaron Rodgers recording the lowest time of possession of his career at just 21 minutes and 20 seconds.
