NFL preseason Week 1 winners and losers: Giants first-round rookies ball out; Bengals still can’t stop anyone

Week 1 of the preseason comes and went to the doozy. We enjoyed back-to-back triple head in Thursday and Friday at the size of the slate explained by Saturday, and concluded with two contests on Sunday.

Course weekend several rookies flashing, quarterback combats and also a bit NFL History (type). While it is natural to lean to the positive people of the preseason, it’s not all of Rosy at this time of year, as some teams still need out the kinks before each of the week I.

So, who was impressed by opening the week of spectacles and who is disappointed? We’re here to break all of that out. Below, we’re diving into some of the most important and defeated, and includes two rookie standards-confidant as clear winners and possible playoff contanger and finds each other by a loser by side of the ball.

Victor: Giants GM Joe Schoen

Joe Schoen arguably has one of the hot seat at the General Manager in NFL Entering 2025 times, but to end up the salvation of their job thanks to a pair of first-rookies. This offseason: New York used his No. 3 Overall Pick to select Penn State Pass Rusher Abdul Carter, then traded in the first to bring Ole Miss Quarterback Jaxson Talk no with No. 25 lorem election. The debuts, it’s hard or just morning returns.

The Giants Preseason Opener Bills, both Carter and Victoria lightning. Start Carter, played just six plays in the afternoon, but most of it. The six Snaps three passenger rushes. Of all three of them is broken, applied pressures.

Mean thoreughter a long strap in the preseason debut and just impressive. The Wilson has been played after the Russell’s opening drive. From there 12 on its 19 passes to the 154 yard and touchdown, when adding 24 feet running. To some of the Buffalo’s starters in the defense, arrow did not look very phased under pressure. Eye-popped up in 28-award touchdown to lil’jordan humphrey. He hit him in a degree of despite having a pressure to breathe and neck and receiving hit.

I was ranked tag arrow as the most impressive rookie quarterback, and if you go to the flash, and the flash like this, it’s going to pass on the port in all the nation back to him after the port in all, for the nation back to him in the carre.

Food: Bengals Defense

Bengals trying to other war preseas to prior to run more than in the years past hope to avoid another start in the regular season. Some look at the preseased as a successful journey to the completion of the finish I will doubt. Since Joe Burrow and Ja’marr Chase does not look like they were in the midsase (patter). It is because the Philadelphia Eagles reserve the text starting the defense.

Backup Quarterback Tanner McKee Direct Scoring Drives in Eagles first two possessions of the night, including nine, play, 75-yerd to drive in Philly’s first possession of the game. Finished complete 20 of 25 transit to 252 yards and two touchdowns.

While cincy is starters are not all that production were at least two deals in which the 10 points. Again, this is not a Jalen hurts, Saquon Barkley-LED Eagle offense we are out. So sure, tunnel and offense looked dialed in, but defense – arguably key system is not missed in the playoff a year ago – I have seen as old, which is not good.

You could have asked for a better start to NFL protection than the TrapeSon Henderson did on Friday night. New England’s second rounded took the game’s opening kickoff 100 yards to touchdown, covered around the leaders defenders in the way to the end zone.

But this is not only Henderson’s men in return of the game and Has him as one of our winners. All the time touched the ball and seemed to be held to pull off from the top 10 meat. Only carry him through the hole 18-area gain (believes at the first rounded rookie tackle will be Campbell), and in all three targets in the passenger game.

Horats have a bang in the inflicting the side of the ball for a while it seems to be changing with the like Henderson to fold.

In some circles, you’ll find folks who believe in Arizona Cardinals can be one surprise teams of 2025 times. While you certainly could be, Kyler Murray will not instill a ton of confidence in the Apizona Breakout in one minute of Preseason Opener. In the early minutes of the first quarter, cardinal quarterback rolled to the left of the first-and-10 play and thrown the lame ducks to pass directly to the chiefs defender for intercepts.

I lost grip football? Did he didn’t see the defend? Or not just not enough power in throw to Marvin Mark Jr.? There is no reason for the system moves some degree, even if the lonely perfect night.

Maybe a story about a week 1 of the preseason is shed on sanders. When Joe Flacco rest and both Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel Sidelined with pickined injuries, Sanders got in the start of the Cleveland Browns opener, and fifth-roundiora balled. I have completed 14 of his 23 attempt at 138 yards and two touchdowns while playing tall in the third quarter. Stood tall in the pocket, it moves well, rolling on the left and the right and the number of a bad transit run. First touchdown I saw the scroll left and put your feet and the string of the needle to the left corner of the end zone.

ArguAlle was the best cast to just before two minute warning leading to the halftime with rolled to the right to escape pressure and tossed the perfectly ball to Lucas to 30-yard profit.

It is not perfect from uting the Cicero (who almost thrown into the traffic in the second quarter), but not enough to get to the week of getting a week to the presence of the stefanski to get in the week of the rookie in the week in the rookie in the week of the rookie prior to a week.

Comes in the summer, most notable quarterback competition lived in Indianapolis to Anthony Tacitus and Daniel Jones are slated as a guide text for a colloped week 1 office. Currently, it feels as less than the quarterback line and more like a war. Richardson got the start of the Preseason Opener facing Baltimore, but quickly knocked out of the game after dissocating his pinky. In all, Thomas just three transit.

Injuries have been a major piece of Richardson’s NFL story with entering the league to No. 4 Overall pick up in 2024. During two times, and it’s played in just 15 games. Some of the fact that it was on an-season benching during 2024 times, but the slice has been due to injury. If it’s not to stay healthy in the summer, Jones, to win the job by default.

Do you count on NFL Record books? No. Is it still a crowd impressive? Without a doubt!

The Jacksonville Jaguars Kicker Netted a 70-Yard Food End Just Before Peter to locker room to halftime. This occurred in the regular season, as it would be a record of the longest plain goal in the league history. Currently, former Corvi Kicker Justin Tucker holds to record with 66-yarder and hit in 2021, so that it was broken is a healthy store. While the record still stands, a little made after the 10 “It will be the last 70-yarder.”

And here you thought I think, therefore, hunting was to be the main draw Watch in 2025 Jaguars!

I don’t play on Dallas Cowboys’ older by Opener but ceedee gonna have somehow took one of the hardest hits of the preseason. Lamb celebrating a long completion between Joe Milton 3 and Jonathan pee, and when having its back turned to the act, rose in the way Sideline official is running in the field. Two-nail and hit the ground.

Oof. Do it worse than the Lamb called for a 15-yard unsportsmslike penalty for contacting public. The pool report after school, the referee Alex Moore said “Sideline interference” Because gonna stand in a restricted list limit area. Successfully for Lamb and Cowboys, Star Wid Widelout will not hurt the story that would be more compound situation.
