Luckily for every cheesehead this side of Wisconsin, their team is still coached by Matt LaFleur and boasts an offense that includes Aaron Rodgers, Davante Adams and Aaron Jones. On the flip side, the Detroit Lions are fresh off a surprisingly
Zach Wilson got his first taste of what life would be like playing against Bill Belichick and the Patriots twice a year. Needless to say, it was difficult for him. Wilson struggled throwing the ball and reading the Patriots’ defense. That resulted in him throwing a whopping four interceptions. Four of his first eight passes were picked off, including his first two of the contest. The Jets scored just six points
After an offseason full of drama, Packers fans were almost certainly hoping for more out of Aaron Rodgers than what they watched in Week 1. Rodgers completed just 15 of 28 passes for 133 yards with two interceptions, and the offense mustered only a field goal as the Saints routed the Packers 38-3.

Bears fans got an early taste of the Justin Fields experience in their Week 1 game against the Rams, but may be seeing more of the rookie going forward.
