The first official week of NFL action came to an end on Monday night with not one but two primetime showcases. The first featured two of the league’s most explosive offenses in a contest between the Saints and Texans in the Superdome. The second gave us our first look at the AFC West with a divisional showdown between the Raiders and Broncos at the Coliseum.
And we couldn’t have asked for better.
There were explosive runs and crazy catches, a back-and-forth fourth quarter in New Orleans that featured three scores in the final minute and a game-winning 58-yard field goal, and a Raiders offense hungry to make a statement.
