TOP 5 BEST OF WEEK 1:
1) Seattle Seahawks - It's hard to include an entire team unless you saw what the Seahawks did on Thursday night. Seattle looked like they were ready to pick up right where they left off from last season in their domination of Green Bay.
2) Matt Ryan - 448 yards passing 3 TDs - Matty Ice as people like to call him looked fantastic on Sunday. It probably helped that Jones and White were healthy and if he can look half as good as he did on Sunday, the Falcons will be tough to beat this season.
3) Knowshon Moreno - 134 yards rushing 1 TD - Nice little debut for Moreno with his new club, as he helped the Dolphins provide one of the surprising results of the opening weekend.
4) Calvin Johnson - 7 rec 164 yards 2 TDs - No doubt about it, Calvin Johnson is the best wide receiver in football. This stat line seems like a ho-hum performance for him.
5) Derek Anderson - 230 yards passing 2 TDs - Numbers dont necessarily jump out at you but to win a game on the road against a division opponent, as a back up, pretty impressive.
TOP 5 WORST OF WEEK 1:
1) Tony Romo - 3 INTs - Sorry Cowboys fans but Romo looked bad against the 49ers. Also totally unrelated but what was with all the red in the crowd almost seemed like a niner home game.
2) Ravens WRs - I probably noticed this because i watched the whole game but there were way too many dropped passes, at least 4 by newcomer Steve Smith. Even with all the drops Flacco still threw for 345 yards.
3) Rams QB Situation - Sam Bradford lost for the season and Shaun Hill injured in week 1. With those issues the Rams could only muster 6 points at home, going to be a long season in St. Louis.
4) Jamaal Charles - 19 yards rushing, 15 yards receiving - For a guy who is considered one of the top running backs in the league and game with that stat line is completely unacceptable.
5) Eli Manning - 163 yards passing 2 INTs - Since 2004, Manning has thrown at least 2 interceptions in a game 47 times, more than any other QB during that time span.
Week 1 is officially done and now since the NFL has to have a Thursday night game all season. Week 2 is right around the corner and so are my predictions. Follow me on the twitter @AndySnaks.
