Jalen Hurts was 27-36 for 264 yards and 3 touchdowns, and DeVonta Smith had 6 catches for 71 yards and a touchdown in his professional debut, as Philadelphia had a decisive win in Atlanta. Hurts became only the third player in the past 20 years to have 200+ passing yards, 50+ rushing yards, and 0 INTs in a Week 1 game (Michael Vick and Kyler Murray are the other two).
The much-hyped match-up between Miami and New England, featuring Tua Tagovailoa and Mac Jones, lived up to expectations, with Miami prevailing 17-16. In his professional debut, Jones was 29-39 for 281 yards and a touchdown. Among the 61 rookie quarterbacks in NFL history who attempted 30 or more passes in their NFL debut, Jones becomes the first one ever to exceed a 70% completion percentage (Jones completed 74% of his passes).
Jerry Jeudy and Jedrick Wills both left their games with ankle injuries and didn’t return. Jeudy’s in particular looked to be potentially devastating, but x-rays were negative, and he was diagnosed with a high ankle sprain, though he could still miss 6 weeks. The severity of Wills’ injury is unknown.
Alex Avila hit his first home run with the Nationals (see below), and thus has become Alabama’s all-time home run hitter in MLB. Avila’s 105th career homer breaks a tie with Jim Tabor, who hit his last home run in 1947.
Dicky Pride sank a birdie on the 18th hole to force a playoff at the Champions Tour’s Ascension Charity Classic, but would lose on the first playoff hole. The 2nd place finish marks Pride’s second-best finish on the Champions Tour.
Josh Jacobs was downgraded to Questionable for tomorrow night’s game with an illness.
