David Montgomery rushed for 45 yards on the Lions' overtime scoring drive to lead Detroit to a 26-20 win over the Rams on "Sunday Night Football."

Montgomery capped the 70-yard drive with a 1-yard touchdown run in OT.

“We were able to run the ball pretty well there,” Lions quarterback Jared Goff said. “I think David, anytime you can get behind his pads like that and our O-line is opening up holes we’re tough. We’re tough and that drive was all them.”

Detriot led 17-3 in the third quarter but saw the Rams rally to take a 20-17 lead with 4:30 to go in the game.

Jake Bates' 32-yard field goal with 17 seconds remaining in the fourth sent the game to overtime.

A scrap between the Chargers and Raiders led to two players being ejected from Los Angeles’ victory in the final minutes of the fourth quarter. 

The fight broke out after a two-conversion attempt with the Chargers up by 12 late in the game and Chargers wide receiver Josh Palmer and Raiders cornerback Jack Jones engaged in extracurricular activities. 

Things quickly got heated and punches appeared to be thrown as both teams converged.

Tom Brady had ups and downs in his highly anticipated Fox Sports announcing debut.

Fox signed Brady to a 10-year deal worth a total of $375 million more than two years ago, and the sports world has been waiting with bated breath to see how he’d perform in the booth.

The game wound up being a dud as the Cowboys won 33-17 in a contest that was effectively over at halftime, so we will have to wait at least a week longer to assess how Brady handles truly big moments.

Giants QB Daniel Jones had a rough day at the office for the Giants season opener.

Jones completed 22 of 42 passes for 186 yards and two interceptions in an ugly 28-6 loss to the Vikings, which featured plenty of booing inside MetLife Stadium. Unfortunately for Jones, it continued outside the Giants home in East Rutherford, N.J.

Brandon Aubrey had a chance to tie an NFL record ripped from his hands thanks to an inexcusable error by the Cowboys.

The Cowboys' defense suffocated Deshaun Watson in Dallas' season-opening victory over the Browns as the QB made his first start since last season when he suffered a shoulder injury that cut his year short.

The 33-17 win for Dallas was highlighted by a defense that allowed Watson to throw just 169 yards and sacked him on six separate occasions during the game.

Watson also threw two interceptions

The Browns' offense was so bad that they were booed off the field at the end of the first half.

Watson appeared in his first game since Nov. 2023 when he suffered a season-ending shoulder injury.

The Browns QB did not play in any of their three preseason contests.

Bo Nix took to the ground to score his first career NFL TD.

Nix ran for a four-yard TD and put Denver within striking distance of Seattle, who is winning 26-20 with less than two minutes remaining.

Jake Ferguson suffered an apparent injury after landing awkwardly from a tackle.

There's been no injury update as of yet but it's worth monitoring to see if he can return to the game.

The rookie QB got his first NFL TD on a one-yard rushing play. The Bucs hold a 23-14 lead over the Commanders late in the third quarter.

The Browns are having a bad day.

And it may have gotten worse. Starting TE David Njoku was seen limping to the locker room for evaluation in the third quarter.

Week 1 has been full of highs and lows and drama all around.

One standout interview clip came from Patriots starting QB Jacoby Brissett, who said he cried three different times before the game.

He said he cried when he got to the stadium and then cried again after coach Jerod Mayo gave him a pregame pep talk.

The Deshaun Watson era in Cleveland continues to be a dumpster fire.

Adding insult to injury, even the special teams got in on the action when KaVontae Turpin returned a punt for a TD in the third quarter, putting the Cowboys on top 27-3.
