Miami Dolphins (1-0) 34, Buffalo Bills (0-1) 23
Darren McFadden was a nightmare in the first 3 quarters, breaking 2 60+ yd TD runs and Bills had the lead 23-14 with less than 16 minutes left.
But a crucial Pick-6 by Suggs and 2 TD runs of Ronnie Brown changed the game around and gave Dolphins their 1st win of this new season.
POTG: Ronnie Brown (HB, Dolphins) 14 carries for 175 yds, 3 TD

Denver Broncos (0-1)17 vs Jacksonville Jaguars (1-0) 31(GOTW)

POTG: LeMarcus Taylor/Beanie Wells (HB, Jaguars) 15 carries together for 201 yds, 3 TD
San Diego Chargers vs Indianapolis Colts
Baltimore Ravens (1-0) 30, New York Jets (0-1) 19

POTG: Steven Jackson (HB, Cardinals) 20 carries for 161 yds, 2 TD
Seattle Seahawks (1-0) 35, New Orleans Saints (0-1) 28

POTG: Frank Gore (HB, Seahawks) 20 carries for 147 yds, 3 TD
New York Giants (0-1) 24, Atlanta Falcons (1-0) 38

POTG: Adrian Peterson (HB, Falcons) 21 carries for 174 yds, 2 TD
Dallas Cowboys (0-1) 23, Pittsburgh Steelers (1-0) 42

Cleveland Browns (0-1) 28 vs Philadelphia Eagles (1-0) 31

POTG: Leron James (HB, Eagles) 18 carries for 155 yds, TD, 4 catches for 29 yds, game-winning TD
Washington Redskins (0-1) 24, Cincinnati Bengals (1-0) 28
It was a very close game, from the 1st minute of play to the last! Skins led 17-14 at half-time, but it should have been 17-7 instead, but they allowed a big TD pass from Wade to Heyward-Bey to end the half.
Redskins would find the way to take back the lead 24-21 after a Marcus Brooks TD run, just to see Bjoern Mason run an even bigger one, giving Cincy the lead they needed and they held on.
POTG: HB Bjoern Mason (Bengals) 15 carries, 119 yds, 2 TD
New England Patriots (0-1) 16 vs San Francisco 49ers (1-0) 51
It was a game to forget for the Pats, especially for rookie sensation Tristan Riley, who had a very horrendous 1st game in the NFL, throwing 4 picks in the first 3 quarters before being replaced, like a good part of the New England starters.
For the 49ers, it was a perfect 1st half, they created ruckus, they scored on the passing and the running game, Jelani Okoye had a very solid 1st game in the NFL and they have a lot of confidence going forward.
POTG: Matthew Stafford (QB, 49ers) 11/17, 227 yds, 4 TD
