Article arrow_drop_down

Denver opened with three scoring possessions behind rookie quarterback Bo Nix, who connected with Courtland Sutton for a touchdown and totaled 110 passing yards before exiting. The Broncos’ defense held late as New Orleans rotated through its quarterback competition.

Spencer Rattler started for the Saints and led a pair of field-goal drives before rookie Tyler Shough entered and added a rushing score on a designed keeper. Shough finished 12-of-20 for 102 yards, while Rattler went 5-of-8 for 43. Neither quarterback produced a big-time throw or turnover-worthy play, though Rattler narrowly graded higher on first review.

PFF’s dedicated team of graders was hard at work, analyzing every player on every play in real time. The comprehensive grades and data will be available after a thorough review tomorrow at 12 p.m. EST.

NFL Betting 2025: Best RB props to target in Week 1

Dallas will struggle on the ground against Philly:  The Eagles ranked second in both PFF run-defense grade (76.9) and EPA allowed per rush last season, making them one of the stingiest front sevens in the league. D'Andre Swift will flourish as a receiver out of the backfield in Chicago: Last season, the Lions ranked top five in running back targets (109) and led the league in receiving yards (945) and yards per route run (1.89) from the position.
