Chicago Bears. 21. team. 57. . 0-1. Previous:

Veteran quarterback Andy Dalton was at the controls when Matt Nagy’s team took on the Rams at Los Angeles on Sunday night. Running back David Montgomery was a bright spot for the Bears, rushing for 108 yards and one score. And rookie quarterback Justin Field scored on a three-yard run.

But Chicago’s defensive unit had no answers for Matthew Stafford, who made it look easy against his former divisional rival via three touchdown passes.

46. . 0-1. Previous: . Indianapolis Colts. 20. team

For the fourth time in as many season openers under head coach Frank Reich, the Colts trotted out a different starting quarterback in Week 1. And for the eighth consecutive year, the team lost its first game of the season.

Carson Wentz threw for 251 yards and both of his touchdown passes went to Zach Pascal. The Indianapolis’ defense gave up 381 total yards despite the fact that the visiting Seahawks had the football for just 24:13.

28. . 0-0. Previous: . Las Vegas Raiders. 19. team

Head coach Jon Gruden and general manager Mike Mayock spent the offseason revamping the team’s offensive and defensive lines. And the Raiders are hoping that work pays off when they host the Ravens on Monday night.

Las Vegas’ defensive unit has been the bane of the team’s inability to reach the playoffs the past four years. Can former Ravens’ pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue have an immediate impact and pressure Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson?
