NFL Overreactions Week 1: Jaguars lose, regain identity
Football season has finally graced us with its presence again and so far, 14 teams are 1-0 and 14 teams are 0-1 (Giants, Lions, Chargers and Cardinals play Monday night).
So after the first week of the NFL’s regular season, is it time to panic, time to celebrate or should everyone just relax because it’s only the first of 16 games? (Like anybody really will relax after their team opens the season 0-1?)
But yet, here we are, the Monday after.
Did Brian Hoyer wake up down 24 points to the Steelers at half, realizing that if he can’t try to win this game, he’ll be forever forgotten like the rest of the Browns quarterbacks?
Did Jacksonville realize that they were going about their opener at Philadelphia all wrong in the first half… by actually winning?
Is Oakland’s new traveling procedures to the east coast resulting in a positive mindset, even when you get outgained nearly 4-to-1?
Let’s not forget America’s favorite quarterback Tony Romo, who tried to outdo himself in the Cowboys opener against San Francisco, starting the season on a hot note, tossing three interceptions and making worse decisions than the U.S. Congress.
One thing is for certain, the first week of the NFL season will be filled with storylines from everywhere on Monday and Tuesday.
With that said, here’s some of the somewhat top stories from Week 1.
