NFL Offenses Combine For One Of Highest-Scoring Opening Weeks In History

Historic offensive explosion: the Bears beat the Panthers 59-37 in a 96-point opener (1,030 total yards), the highest-scoring Week 1 ever.
Josh Allen lit up Houston’s previously stingy defense (334 passing yards) to fuel Buffalo’s 36-31 road win.
Caleb Williams looked like an MVP candidate in Chicago’s big win, while veterans such as Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry also starred — quarterbacks already feel in midseason form.
