The MIAMI DOLPHINS totaled 536 yards of offense in their Kickoff Weekend victory over the Chargers, the most offensive yards by any team in a Week 1 game since Baltimore in 2019. Quarterback TUA TAGOVAILOA recorded 466 passing yards and three touchdown passes in last week’s victory – the fourth-most passing yards in a season-opening game in NFL history – and was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week.
When ANTHONY RICHARDSON and the Colts travel to face C.J. STROUD and the Texans, it will mark the second game in NFL history featuring two starting quarterbacks both under the age of 22. Each quarterback is currently 21 years old.
Los Angeles Rams rookie wide receiver PUKA NACUA, a fifth-round selection in the 2023 Draft, recorded 10 receptions for 119 yards in the team’s Week 1 victory, becoming the fifth player in NFL history to record at least 10 receptions in his NFL debut.
San Francisco 49ers quarterback BROCK PURDY became the team’s starter in Week 14 of last season and has not looked back. After leading the 49ers to victory in each of their final five regular-season games in 2022, Purdy recorded 220 passing yards, two touchdown passes and no interceptions for a 111.3 rating in San Francisco’s victory over Pittsburgh last week. It marked his sixth consecutive regular-season start with at least two touchdown passes and a passer rating of 95-or-higher.
