The New England Patriots also lost their home game against the Miami Dolphins and started an NFL season with two losses for the first time in 22 years. In 2001, Tom Brady took over as quarterback and led the team to victory in the Super Bowl.
A similar comeback with Brady’s successor Mac Jones as playmaker seems unlikely after the 17:24 against the Dolphins. The Dolphins around quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, on the other hand, have two wins and still have their home debut this season ahead of them. Man of the game was running back Raheem Mostert with two touchdowns for the Dolphins.
In the first game since Aaron Rodgers’ injury, the New York Jets conceded a 10:30 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, who were able to clearly win the second game of the season. At the start, the Cowboys scored 40-0 against the New York Giants. The Giants recovered from the blow with a 31:28 defeat of the Arizona Cardinals.
In the California duel between the San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Rams, the 49ers left the field as winners. At 30:23, 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy impressed with another confident performance. After throwing, he was left without a touchdown pass, but scored one by running into the end zone. His impressive record as an NFL professional is now nine wins in ten games.
