Preview: Packers at Falcons
Gracenote
Sep 14, 2017
The last visit to Atlanta is one the Green Bay Packers won't soon forget -- a beating at the hands of the Falcons in the NFC Championship Game in January. With the stakes much lower, the Packers get a chance to avenge that loss to Atlanta on Sunday night in what will mark the first regular-season game at the Falcons' new Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Green Bay entered last season's conference title game on an eight-game winning streak but was never in it against Atlanta, falling behind by 24 points at halftime in a 44-21 blowout. "If you're thinking about last year and talking about last year, you're just wasting time and energy," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. "To get to the point where you're playing in January and the opportunity to play in the Super Bowl, you've got to focus on what's going on today. That's really what our guys are focused on." The Falcons will be looking to beat Green Bay for the third time in 11 months -- they squeezed out a 33-32 victory at home last October on a last-minute touchdown pass by Matt Ryan. The league's highest-scoring team in 2016 with an average of 33.8 points, Atlanta needed a late defensive stand to escape with a 23-17 victory at Chicago in Week 1.
TV: 8:30 p.m. ET, NBC. LINE: Falcons -3. O/U: 54
ABOUT THE PACKERS (1-0): Aaron Rodgers, who threw for 311 yards with one touchdown and one interception in last week's 17-9 victory over Seattle, has a passer rating of 117.0 in seven matchups against Atlanta while throwing for 29 scoring passes against two picks. Running back Ty Montgomery had 93 total yards and a touchdown while wide receivers Randall Cobb and Jordy Nelson combined for 16 receptions and a score last week. Green Bay could be in trouble along the offensive line Sunday with left tackle David Bakhtiari battling a hamstring issue and right tackle Bryan Bulaga dealing with illness and a sprained ankle. The Packers' defense limited the Seahawks to 225 total yards and 12 first downs.
ABOUT THE FALCONS (1-0): Ryan connected on an 88-yard scoring strike to tight end Austin Hooper in the fourth quarter and finished with 321 yards passing in the season opener. The league's reigning MVP has put up huge numbers over the past three matchups against the Packers, passing for 1,055 yards with 11 touchdowns against one interception. Wideout Julio Jones, who had four catches for 66 yards last week, torched Green Bay in the NFC title game with nine catches for 180 yards and two scores, and had an 11-catch, 259-yard monster performance against the Packers in 2014. The backfield tandem of Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman combined for only 53 yards rushing on 20 carries in Week 1.
EXTRA POINTS
1. Rodgers needs two TD passes to become the 11th player in history to reach 300 for his career.
2. Falcons LB Vic Beasley had a sack last week, giving him a league-best 16.5 since the start of the 2016 season.
3. Including the playoff matchup, the teams have combined for at least 65 points in each of the past three meetings.
PREDICTION: Packers 27, Falcons 26

Preview: Browns at Ravens
Gracenote
Sep 14, 2017
Lost in all the talk of how bad the Cincinnati Bengals looked in Week 1 was how great the Baltimore Ravens played on both sides of the ball while pitching a shutout. The Ravens will try to stay sharp and take an early lead in the division when they host the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.
Baltimore forced five turnovers in the 20-0 win over the Bengals after loading up on talent on the defensive side of the ball in the draft and free agency. "Overall, I was pleased," Ravens defensive coordinator Dean Pees told reporters of the effort. "The guys followed the game plan, executed it very well. There are always things we can get better at. Overall, I was very pleased. Any time we win, we’re pleased." That defense is taking on a rookie quarterback in the Browns' DeShone Kizer, who was sacked seven times while throwing for 222 yards in a 21-18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1 and is studying hard for Week 2. “Yeah, I got in (the facility) and I got a nice little start on Baltimore,” Kizer told reporters. “I spent a little bit of time game planning myself, just getting ahead of the game as much as I can to prepare for the game plan."
TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Ravens -8. O/U: 39
ABOUT THE BROWNS (0-1): Cleveland nearly pulled off the upset in Week 1 while displaying a stout defense that held star running back Le'Veon Bell to 32 yards on 10 carries. “We played in our gaps," head coach Hue Jackson told reporters. "We played our responsibilities. We beat them to the punch every now and then, and we tackled well. Those are the keys of playing good defensive football.” First-round pick Jabrill Peppers recorded four solo tackles in his debut and served as both kickoff and punt returner.
ABOUT THE RAVENS (1-0): Quarterback Joe Flacco missed most of the offseason and the preseason due to injury and directed a conservative attack in Week 1, completing just 9-of-17 passes for 121 yards and a touchdown. "If we're going to win a bunch of football games, we're going to have to do it a handful of different ways throughout the course of the season," Flacco told reporters. "But if we can win doing what we did on Sunday, then there's no need to do anything else." Flacco will be without a versatile weapon for a least two months after the team placed running back Danny Woodhead (hamstring) on injured reserve Thursday.
EXTRA POINTS
1. Browns OT Joe Thomas is four snaps away from playing 10,000 consecutive snaps.
2. Baltimore took the last three and five of the past six in the series.
3. Cleveland DE and No. 1 overall pick Myles Garrett (ankle) is expected to miss a second straight game.

Preview: Bills at Panthers
Gracenote
Sep 15, 2017
Former Carolina defensive coordinator Sean McDermott returns to face his former team when the Buffalo Bills visit the Panthers on Sunday. McDermott won his debut as coach of the Bills and will try to improve to 2-0 by beating the team whose defense he led for the past six seasons.
Both teams turned in dominant defensive efforts in Week 1, albeit against weak offenses. The Bills held the New York Jets to 214 total yards in a 21-12 win, while the Panthers allowed 217 yards in a 23-3 victory at San Francisco. "They have an idea. It will be an interesting matchup,” Carolina coach Ron Rivera told reporters of the Bills’ familiarity with the Panthers. “It will be a nice little homecoming. There is a tremendous amount of familiarity." The Bills have won five of six all-time meetings, including a 24-23 home triumph in the most recent matchup in 2013.
TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Panthers -7. O/U: 43
ABOUT THE BILLS (1-0): Buffalo’s offense runs through LeSean McCoy, who racked up 159 yards from scrimmage in Week 1 - including 110 on the ground. Tyrod Taylor didn’t have to do too much against the Jets, passing for 224 yards and two scores with an interception, but he seems to have a solid rapport with new receiver Jordan Matthews, who had a team-high 61 receiving yards in his Bills debut. The defense allowed only 38 rushing yards against the Jets but will have a taller task facing Cam Newton and rookie all-purpose threat Christian McCaffrey.
ABOUT THE PANTHERS (1-0): Newton only passed for 171 yards in the season opener, but he threw two touchdown passes as he looks to bounce back from a disappointing 2016 campaign. McCaffrey rushed for 47 yards while making a team-high five catches for 38 yards, and he could see an expanded role as the Panthers look to add a wrinkle to their offense to combat the Bills’ familiarity. Carolina’s veteran linebacking corps led by Thomas Davis and Luke Kuechly had a big game against the 49ers.
EXTRA POINTS
1. Taylor (1,186) is the Bills’ franchise leader for rushing yards by a quarterback.
2. Panthers TE Greg Olsen has caught a touchdown pass in each of his last two games against the Bills.
3. Matthews has made 10 catches for 152 yards and two touchdowns in his last two contests versus Carolina.

Preview: Cardinals at Colts
Gracenote
Sep 14, 2017
With Andrew Luck still sidelined while rehabbing a shoulder injury, the seat is getting hotter for Indianapolis coach Chuck Pagano. The Colts, who were embarrassed at Los Angeles Rams last week, host the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday in a battle of two teams looking for their first wins minus their best players.
Luck denied media rumors that he is looking to leave Indianapolis but he seems to be no closer to returning to the field after undergoing a shoulder operation in the offseason. Scott Tolzien made the opening day start for the Colts and threw two interceptions in a discouraging 46-9, season-opening loss against the Los Angeles Rams. Things went just as badly for the Cardinals in their opener. Not only was Carson Palmer picked off three times in their 35-23 loss at Detroit, but they lost star running back David Johnson for at least eight weeks and possibly the rest of the season with a dislocated wrist.
TV: 1 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Cardinals -7. O/U: 44.
ABOUT THE CARDINALS (0-1): Arizona brought back running back Chris Johnson earlier in the week to help fill the void created by David Johnson's injury, but Kerwynn Williams (5 carries, 10 yards, TD vs. the Lions) will start at running back on Sunday. David Johnson's loss cannot be understated as he led the league with 2,118 yards from scrimmage last season and scored 20 touchdowns. The Cardinals may also be minus speedy wide receiver John Brown, who missed practice during the week with a quad injury and is listed as questionable.
ABOUT THE COLTS (0-1): Tolzien threw two pick-sixes last week and his stint under center may be short-lived. Jacoby Brissett, who drove the team to its lone score against the Rams, split time with Tolzien at practice during the week and Pagano may turn to their recent acquisition from the New England Patriots sooner rather than later. Luck hasn't indicated a timetable for his return but doesn't seem likely to be back on the field until October for the Colts, who were also missing center Ryan Kelly (out, foot) and star cornerback Vontae Davis (out, groin) last week.
EXTRA POINTS
1. Arizona won the last meeting in the series 40-11 in 2011 breaking a four-game winning streak by Indianapolis.
2. Colts WR T.Y. Hilton had just three catches for 57 yards in the opener and looks to draw CB Patrick Peterson, who has picked off 20 passes since 2011, in coverage.
3. Cardinals coach Bruce Arians went 9-3 as the interim head coach with the Colts while Pagano was battling cancer in 2012.

Still reveling in their defensive showcase in opening week, rookie Leonard Fournette and the Jacksonville Jaguars host the Tennessee Titans on Sunday in an early AFC South Division matchup. The Jaguars notched a franchise-record 10 sacks in a stunning win at Houston last week as Fournette rushed for 100 yards and a score in his pro debut.
Jacksonville also forced four fumbles in the 29-7 win at Houston as its defense took the pressure off quarterback Blake Bortles, who threw for just 125 yards in the contest. All was not good, however, for the Jaguars, who lost their best player on offense, star receiver Allen Robinson, for the season with a torn ACL. Tennessee dropped a hard-fought 26-16 decision to Oakland in its opener as quarterback Marcus Mariota ran for a touchdown and passed for 256 yards. Home teams have won the past six games in the series, including a 38-17 victory by Jacksonville in the last season's final meeting.
TV: 1 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Titans -1.5. O/U: 42.5
ABOUT THE TITANS (0-1): The Titans feel they can contain Jacksonville's blitzing defense with a balanced attack buoyed by their dual-threat quarterback. "If you do blitz, Marcus (Mariota) will hurt you with his legs," Tennessee center Ben Jones said. "When (Houston quarterback Tom) Savage was in there, they pinned their ears back because he wasn’t mobile." The game marks the return to the field where Mariota broke his leg last season in a loss that severely dashed Tennessee's playoff hopes.
ABOUT THE JAGUARS (1-0): Robinson is a huge loss for Jacksonville's offense after leading the team with 153 catches for 2,283 yards and 20 touchdowns over the past two seasons. The Jaguars had some of its practice routine altered by the effects of Hurricane Irma, which flooded parts of the city and left many without power. Cornerback Jalen Ramsey, an integral part of the pass defense who played all 79 snaps against the Texans, missed Wednesday’s practice with an ankle injury and is listed as questionable.
EXTRA POINTS
1. The Jaguars' prized free-agent signing, defensive end Calais Campbell, had a franchise-best four sacks in his debut with the team.
2. Tennessee rushed for just 95 yards in its opener, led by DeMarco Murray with 44 yards on a dozen carries.
3. Jacksonville RB T.J. Yeldon, who missed the opener with a hamstring issues, is listed as probable.
PREDICTION: Titans 27, Jaguars 14

Preview: Eagles at Chiefs
Gracenote
Sep 15, 2017
After working together for years, Andy Reid and Doug Pederson square off for the first time when the Kansas City Chiefs host the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. It’s Reid’s second meeting with his former team, as the Chiefs won 26-16 at Philadelphia in his first season with the club in 2013.
The coaches go way back, as Pederson played for Reid in Green Bay and Philadelphia before joining his coaching staffs with the Eagles and Chiefs. Pederson was Reid’s offensive coordinator in Kansas City from 2013-15, so he has a great understanding of the team's offense. “I think when you know each other this well, and you are that familiar with each other, it’s hard,” Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith told reporters. “A lot gets made of that. Who is making what changes, are you trying to counter their changes, what if they do this, what if they do that, you can talk yourselves in circles a little bit. In the end, I think it is going to come down to who can execute out there.” The Chiefs were the surprise of Week 1, as they spoiled the Super Bowl ring ceremony in New England on Opening Night with a 42-27 victory, while the Eagles also picked up a big road win, beating Washington 30-17.
TV: 1 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Chiefs -6. O/U: 47.5
ABOUT THE EAGLES (1-0): Carson Wentz had a strong opener, going 26-of-39 for 307 yards with two touchdowns and an interception, as he looked often to tight end Zach Ertz and receiver Nelson Agholor. The Eagles need more from the running game to be successful, though, as LeGarrette Blount finished with only 46 yards on 14 carries against Washington. The defense forced four turnovers in Week 1, but the Eagles might not be able to expect a repeat against a Chiefs team that typically takes care of the ball.
ABOUT THE CHIEFS (1-0): Kansas City flashed an explosive offense in Week 1, as rookie running back Kareem Hunt racked up 246 yards from scrimmage – the most by any NFL player in his debut – and Tyreek Hill caught seven passes for 133 yards and a touchdown. Smith was nearly flawless, going 28-of-35 for 368 yards with four TDs. The defense did an admirable job against Tom Brady and the Patriots, allowing 371 total yards but holding the reigning champions to 10 points in the second half - and none in the fourth quarter.
EXTRA POINTS
1. Hill has scored a touchdown of at least 60 yards in five consecutive games, the longest streak in NFL history.
2. Wentz is 4-0 as a starter in September.
3. Chiefs LB Justin Houston, who had two sacks last week, recorded a career-high 4.5 in his most recent meeting with the Eagles.

Preview: Patriots at Saints
Gracenote
Sep 14, 2017
The New England Patriots have not started a season 0-2 since 2001, a streak they hope to keep intact when they visit the New Orleans Saints on Sunday night. Quarterback Tom Brady and the reigning Super Bowl champions have had 10 days to rebound from a stunning season-opening defeat, when they were mauled 42-27 at home by the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Saints are also coming off Week 1 setback, falling at Minnesota 29-19 on Monday night, and are attempting to avoid losing the first two games of the season for the fourth consecutive season. "A sense of urgency has been created," acknowledged New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees. "It's very important. It's our home opener, and we want to get back on track." For historical context, Brady took over as starter following the first two losses in 2001 and guided New England to its first of five Super Bowl championships -- winning that first time at the site of Sunday's venue. Brady's matchup against Brees and Co. also marks the first time in league history that two quarterbacks with at least 10 Pro Bowl selections each will square off in the regular season.
TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Patriots -6.5. O/U: 56
ABOUT THE PATRIOTS (0-1): Brady is ranked last in the league with a completion percentage of 44.4 and has glaring issues at wide receiver with Julian Edelman out for the year, Malcolm Mitchell is on injured reserve and Danny Amendola is in the NFL's concussion protocol. It was be a homecoming of sorts for wideout Brandin Cooks, who had three catches for 88 yards in his New England debut after he was acquired from the Saints in the offseason for a pair of high draft picks. Another offseason acquisition, running back Mike Gillislee, rushed for three touchdowns last week but the Patriots were also stuffed on three short-yardage situations. Not only were 42 points the most allowed since coach Bill Belichick arrived in New England, but star linebacker Dont'a Hightower (knee) was injured in Week 1 and his status for Sunday is unclear.
ABOUT THE SAINTS (0-1): New Orleans struggled to get untracked offensively at Minnesota but the team is a different animal when playing on the fast track of the Mercedes-Benz Superdome -- Brees is averaging 357.7 yards in his last 15 home games. Playing without wide receiver Willie Snead, Brees finished with 291 yards and a touchdown against the Vikings, with tight end Colby Fleener (touchdown), wideout Mike Thomas and running back Mark Ingram each hauling in five receptions. The ground game was stagnant as Adrian Peterson tied for the team high with 18 yards on six carries in his debut with New Orleans. The Saints likely will try to establish the running game to take the pressure off a defense that surrendered 470 total yards to Minnesota and was among the league's worst in 2016 with averages of 375.4 yards and 28.4 points allowed.
EXTRA POINTS
1. New England, which is 42-6 following a loss since 2004, was a perfect 8-0 on the road last season.
2. Brees tossed five TD passes and had a perfect passer rating (158.3) in New England's last visit to New Orleans in 2009.
3. Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski, who has an NFL-best 68 TD catches since 2010, had two catches for 33 yards in Week 1.
PREDICTION: Saints 33, Patriots 30

Preview: Vikings at Steelers
Gracenote
Sep 14, 2017
The Minnesota Vikings ripped off an impressive win in Week 1 while displaying an offense short on mistakes and big on yardage. That Vikings' offense should be taking a step up in competition when the team visits the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.
Minnesota quarterback Sam Bradford completed 27 of his 32 pass attempts for 346 yards and three touchdowns in the 29-19 opening win over the New Orleans Saints on Monday and plans on thriving in his second season as the team's starter. “This will be a big year for Sam,” tight end Kyle Rudolph told reporters, according to ESPN.com. “I wasn’t surprised by his performance Monday night. There’s a reason he was drafted No. 1 overall and a reason why he had the success that he had in college. He’s got a ton of playmakers on this offense to get the ball to and spread it around. When we can do that, we’re tough to defend.” The Steelers have plenty of playmakers as well but still struggled to put the ball in the end zone in a 21-18 triumph at the Cleveland Browns in Week 1. "We knew we’d come out a little rusty," wide receiver Antonio Brown told reporters. "We have a lot of room to grow and improve."
TV: 1 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Steelers - 5.5. O/U: 45.5
ABOUT THE VIKINGS (1-0): One of the things that made Bradford so successful in Week 1 was the presence of rookie running back Dalvin Cook, who rushed for 127 yards on 22 carries in his NFL debut. “You can just tell, there’s certain players that it’s not too big for them,” Minnesota offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur told reporters of Cook. “I think he was out there, he was in the flow of the game, he was comfortable with what he was doing. He had production running the ball and doing all the other things." Cook got the majority of the carries over veteran Latavius Murray, who fumbled on his first touch and ended up with three yards on two carries.
ABOUT THE STEELERS (1-0): Pittsburgh was able to pull out the win in Week 1 despite the lackluster offense due in large part to rookie defensive end T.J. Watt, who recorded two sacks and an interception in his debut and earned defensive rookie of the week honors. “He played well,” defensive coordinator Keith Butler told reporters of Watt. “He is a smart guy. He understands concepts. He understands what offenses like to do. He made some plays for us. He had a couple of sacks and that interception was a very athletic looking play to me at a great time for us. He had just committed a personal foul and got us behind a little bit and good for him, he got it back.” The Steelers also dodged a bullet with defensive end Stephon Tuitt, who left last week's game with a biceps injury but could return soon.
EXTRA POINTS
1. Vikings CBs Xavier Rhodes (hip) and Terence Newman (knee) were limited participants in Thursday's practice.
2. Pittsburgh RB Le'Veon Bell was limited to 32 yards on 10 carries in Week 1 after sitting out the preseason.
3. Minnesota LB Anthony Barr (hamstring) sat out practice on Wednesday and Thursday.

Preview: Bears at Buccaneers
Gracenote
Sep 14, 2017
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers begin the 2017 season in earnest on Sunday after Hurricane Irma threatened the Sunshine State last weekend, prompting the NFL to postpone the team's regularly scheduled opener. Tampa Bay will see a familiar face on the opposing sideline when it welcomes former Buccaneers quarterback Mike Glennon and the Chicago Bears to Raymond James Stadium.
Jameis Winston (4,090 passing yards, 28 TDs in 2016) vies to shake off the rust of being idle since Tampa Bay's third preseason game as he looks to regain his chemistry with Mike Evans (96 receptions, 1,321 yards, 13 TDs) and forge a new bond with offseason acquisition DeSean Jackson. "It's not like we forgot how to play football," Evans said of the layoff. "I think at the end of the day, we'll be all right." Winston's selection as the top overall pick of the 2015 draft essentially signaled the beginning of the end for Glennon with the Buccaneers, but the 27-year-old signed a three-year, $45 million contract with Chicago in the offseason. Glennon completed 26 of 40 passes for 213 yards last Sunday, but a dropped pass by Jordan Howard in the waning moments proved costly as the Bears' bid for an upset of Super Bowl finalist Atlanta fell short in a 23-17 setback.
TV: 1 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Buccaneers -7. O/U: 43
ABOUT THE BEARS (0-1): Howard was limited to just 52 yards last week, although 5-foot-6, 181-pound rookie Tarik Cohen provided a spark in his NFL debut with 113 scrimmage yards (66 rushing, 47 receiving) to go along with a touchdown. Cohen also had a team-high eight receptions and may need to continue to play a significant role in the passing game with former first-round pick Kevin White (shoulder) joining fellow wideout Cameron Meredith (ACL) with season-ending injuries. Kendall Wright, who led Chicago wide receivers with three catches last week, will assume the No. 1 role with capable tight end Zach Miller lending a hand as well.
ABOUT THE BUCCANEERS (2016: 9-7, 2nd in NFC South): Gerald McCoy wasn't overly concerned about his teammates answering the bell on Sunday, even though it would mark 31 days between games for most of the starters. "We're professionals," said McCoy, who has registered seven-plus sacks in four consecutive seasons. "A lot of guys in this locker room make a lot of money to be poised. There's a lot of guys in this locker room that make a lot of money to not let that get to you. There’s a lot of coaches upstairs that make a lot of money to not have excuses as well." Tight end Cameron Brate, who hails from Naperville, Ill., reeled in a 10-yard touchdown reception in Tampa Bay's 36-10 win over Chicago on Nov. 13.
EXTRA POINTS
1. Chicago LB Jerrell Freeman, the team's leading tackler in 2016, was placed on injured reserve after tearing his pectoral muscle in the season opener.
2. Buccaneers DE Robert Ayers recorded 1.5 of his 6.5 sacks in 2016 in last season's game against the Bears.
3. Chicago DE Akiem Hicks, who collected two sacks and three tackles last week, will look to get the jump on Tampa Bay RG J.R. Sweezy, who is making his first start after spending last season on injured reserve.
PREDICTION: Buccaneers 23, Bears 14

Preview: Dolphins at Chargers
Gracenote
Sep 15, 2017
The Miami Dolphins finally kick off their season while the Chargers play a home game in Los Angeles for the first time since 1960 when the teams meet on Sunday. Miami's opener against Tampa Bay was postponed due to Hurricane Irma while the Chargers left San Diego after 56 seasons to return to Los Angeles, their home for the inaugural season of the old American Football League.
Chargers coach Anthony Lynn says Miami is the freshest team in the NFL due to the postponement, but the Dolphins faced numerous distractions and spent the week practicing in the Los Angeles suburb of Oxnard. "I think our guys are handling it well," Miami coach Adam Gase told reporters. "When we got here, our guys seemed focused, ready to go. The only thing I said to them was, 'Control what you can control. We're going to play a game Sunday.' We've got to get ready." Los Angeles dropped a 24-21 decision to Denver in its opener, but defensive end Joey Bosa said the mindset is different in comparison to when the squad lost its 2016 opener to Kansas City. "There were a lot of heads down - almost felt deflated like we almost knew that was how the whole season was going to go at that point," Bosa told reporters. "After Denver, it kind of was like, 'Alright, we don’t have time to mope around about this. We have a quick week coming up. So get your heads up and work toward Miami.'"
TV: 4:05 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Chargers -4.5. O/U: 45
ABOUT THE DOLPHINS (0-0): Jay Cutler makes his debut for the club as he was persuaded to come out of retirement after starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill (knee) was lost for the season, and his teammates are interested to see how he fares. "We're not going to find out how great he's going to be and how great our offense is going to be until we have live bullets, which will be this Sunday," standout defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh told reporters, "but I think we're moving in the right direction from obviously going up against him in practice." Suh, a five-time Pro Bowler, and defensive end Cameron Wake (11.5 sacks) lead the defense while running back Jay Ajayi emerged as a star last season as he rushed for 1,272 yards - third-most in franchise history.
ABOUT THE CHARGERS (0-1): Philip Rivers tossed three touchdown passes in the opener, and his next 300-yard effort will be the 52nd of his career, which will break a tie with Hall-of-Famer Dan Fouts for the franchise mark. Running back Melvin Gordon looks to get untracked after a quiet opener (54 yards on 18 carries) and wideout Keenan Allen caught a touchdown pass in his return from major knee surgery, but all five of his receptions (for 35 yards) were for fewer than 10 yards. Bosa and fellow standout pass rusher Melvin Ingram each posted 1.5 sacks, but the defensive unit had trouble getting off the field as the Broncos controlled the ball for 34 minutes, 13 seconds.
EXTRA POINTS
1. The Dolphins have won three of the last four meetings, including a 31-24 victory in Miami last season.
2. Miami WR Jarvis Landry racked up 94 catches last season - second-most in franchise history.
3. Los Angeles TE Antonio Gates (111) is tied with Tony Gonzalez for most career touchdown receptions by a tight end.
PREDICTION: Chargers 26, Dolphins 24
