Then there was Seattle’s game at St. Louis. There’s no shame in being outplayed by Tom Brady on the night they get their Super Bowl rings.

There was plenty of excitement in week 1 aside from the latest installment of wildly entertaining Rams-Seahawks games in the Edward Jones Dome.

The Seahawks began the extra period with a bit of trickery that backfired. A scandal that went by the name “Spygate” led to Patriots head coach Bill Belichick being fined $500,000, and the team was fined $250,000, along with the loss of a first-round pick.

“Looking for an early comeback player of the year candidate?” The Steelers will be without WR Martavis Bryant who will still be serving a four-game suspension as well as C Maurkice Pouncey who was placed on IR designated to return this preseason.

McCown was hurt while trying to run up the middle for a touchdown; he dived near the goal line and absorbed a hit that sent him helicoptering John Elway-style. This team is a healthy top-10 quarterback away from being a top Super Bowl contender. He went to the same college as him (Virginia Tech) and modeled his game after the current Jets quarterback.

Titans win a stinker 13 to 10 in Cleveland.

“Obviously, the second half leaves a bitter taste in your mouth”, Manziel said.

Every week, we will take a look at the results of the National Football League week that was, and see how it may impact the rest of the Rams’ 2015 schedule. Yes, the Bills – and especially new starting quarterback Tyrod Taylor – exceeded expectations, but Buffalo fans might want to hold off on buying playoff tickets until at least after this week’s game against the AFC East’s big dog, the New England Patriots.

“In Week 2, here’s betting Rex Ryan’s Bills pass defense will be more of a challenge to Rob Gronkowski than the Steelers’ overmatched secondary”.

New England looks like the team to beat again. That kick is now 33 yards. Later in the day, Jacksonville rookie Jason Myer missed one, too, as did San Diego’s Josh Lambo, who was bumped back five yards for a delay-of-game penalty.

Chicago was keeping things interesting against the Packers until Jay Cutler threw a back-breaking interception that Green Bay used to grab a 24-16 lead in the fourth quarter, adding another touchdown before the game ended.

And Rodgers has done it twice, pulling off the same feat during a three-game span against Minnesota in 2010 and ’11.

So your team won its opener. That streak came to an end with Houston’s 27-20 home loss to Kansas City.

Only time will tell if Week 1 was indeed just another blip on the radar, or the beginning of a new era for Jeff Fisher’s young Rams.
