1. Today's show: Week 1 winners and losers, plus full recap
It's Monday, which can only mean one thing: I stayed up until 3 a.m. last night recording a podcast with Will Brinson and Ryan Wilson that touched on everything you need to know about Week 1, and let me just say, it's probably for the best that you listen. We covered all 14 games from Sunday, which means we likely spent some time talking about your favorite team. One thing we do every week is hand out our weekly winners and losers from Sunday's action. For our winners this week, Wilson and Brinson went with bird teams, but I spoiled our ornithological theme by going full homer. Ryan Wilson
2. Rookie receivers taken in the top 10 go off in Week 1 It's not often that you see three receivers get selected in the top 10 of an NFL Draft, but that's exactly what happened this year, marking just the second time since 2006 that three receivers have gone that high. Taking a receiver that high can be a gamble, but so far, that gamble has paid off for the Bengals, Dolphins and Eagles as their rookie receivers all had impressive games in Week 1. Here's a look at how they did:
All three receivers have one big thing in common and that's the fact that they were college teammates with their quarterback, which might help explain why they seem to have such a good connection with their QB just one week into the NFL season. 3. Raiders and Ravens. Wow, great game by two flawed teams. One thing I have seen so far is that there are very few complete teams this year. 4. Week 1 grades: Packers get an 'F' Every week I team up with six of my colleagues here at CBSSports.com to hand out grades, and this week we all shed a tear as Jameis Winston and the Saints graduated out of our imaginary football school with an 'A+' performance in their shocking win over the Packers. Here's a look at the grades from two notable games that were played Sunday: Saints 38, Packers 3
Steelers 23, Bills 16
5. Week 1 injuries: Ryan Fitzpatrick placed on IR with hip injury Hopefully we won't need to have an injury roundup every week, but there were so many injuries around the NFL over the weekend that we definitely needed one for today. Here's a look at the biggest injuries from Week 1:
A couple other players were also injured on Sunday and didn't return, but it's not clear what their prognosis is right now. They include: Patriots tackle Trent Brown (knee) and Chargers tackle Bryan Bulaga (back). 6. Rapid-fire roundup It was a busy weekend in the NFL and since it's nearly impossible to keep track of everything that happened, I went ahead and put together a roundup for you.
