"Baker Mayfield led the Bucs to their first win over the Atlanta Falcons since 12/10/2023. Mayfield was the 5th highest pressured QB of Week 1, but he did not let that get in his way. Rookie WR Emeka Egbuka had a sensational debut, hauling in 2 touchdown receptions, including the game-winner. Todd Bowles' defense can still be classified as organized chaos, but it is not an impenetrable fortress."
"Their Week 1 game came down to the wire, but it was a sloppy performance from the Saints, who had 13 total penalties. The team also had the benefit of facing a very ill Kyler Murray, who gutted it out and put on a nice performance. Spencer Rattler threw the ball 46 times and completed less than 60% of his passes, yet he was unable to produce any points."
Three of four NFC South teams lost in Week 1, underscoring the division's unpredictability. The Buccaneers beat the Falcons 23-20 as Baker Mayfield overcame heavy pressure and rookie Emeka Egbuka caught two touchdown passes, including the game-winner. Todd Bowles' defense remains organized chaos while the offense will likely carry the team into a Monday matchup with the Texans. The Saints lost 13-20 amid 13 penalties, face a tough matchup with the injured 49ers quarterback situation, and saw Spencer Rattler struggle to convert attempts into points. The Panthers sputtered 10-26 as Bryce Young produced another subpar performance.
