Week one of the NFL season has come and gone, and with it came some of our NFL Dawgs making big names for themselves.
Among the highlights...
In the 30-27 Rams win over the Panthers, Todd Gurley nearly got the century mark, gaining 97 yards, 64 in the fourth quarter.
Jordan Jenkins logged three tackles for the Jets in a 17-16 win for Buffalo.
Thursday night’s clash between the Packers and Bears may not have been a pretty offensive show, but Leonard Floyd and Roquan Smith shined, Floyd having two sacks and Smith having five tackles, one for a loss.
Oh and the Roquan is good at football.

Mecole Hardman was on the field early for the Chiefs in their 40-26 win over Jacksonville, returning two kicks and also being on the field for 53 of KC’s 68 offensive plays. For Jacksonville, Abry Jones had two tackles and Chris Conley had six catches for 97 yards and a touchdown.
I didn't see this TD throw by Minshew because I walked down and CBS already pulled the plug, but whew.
