Minkah Fitzpatrick got the first Sunday of the NFL season off to a big start, returning an interception 31 yards for a touchdown on Cincinnati’s opening drive. In addition to the Pick 6, Fitzpatrick would finish with 14 tackles, and blocked a PAT with 0:04 left to send the game to overtime. Pittsburgh won in OT, 23-20.
Elsewhere, O.J. Howard scored 2 touchdowns in his Houston Texans debut to lead the team to a 20-20 tie. Tua Tagovailoa picked up his 4th career win against New England with a solid 23-for-33 performance and a 104.4 rating. Jonathan Allen and Daron Payne each picked up sacks in Washington’s win.
Jalyn Armour-Davis, Josh Jobe, Phidarian Mathis, Evan Neal, and Jerome Ford all made their NFL debuts today.
On the injury front, Mac Jones apparently suffered a back injury in New England’s loss. He went for x-rays after the game and was unavailable for press availability. Phidarian Mathis suffered what is believed to be a serious knee injury in his NFL debut, and is scheduled for an MRI tomorrow. Jonathan Allen will be getting an MRI as well for an injured groin.. Anthony Averett injured his thumb in Las Vegas’ game and didn’t return. Najee Harris and Levi Wallace both left Pittsburgh’s game with ankle injuries, though neither is believed to be serious.
