The NFL was back in action, and former Lions litter professional rosters. Here's our look at all the hotness from Week 1.
the best
- I'm starting to think this should just become a Saquon Barkley blog now (Run, Saquon, Run?). Surely you've seen all of his Week 1 carries in the Giants' loss to Jacksonville, including a signature first career tuddy. Dude went for 128 total yards on 20 touches. Pretty, pretty, pretty good debut.
- Chris Godwin started his sophomore season with a bang, as the Bucs passed all over New Orleans. Not only did he haul in this sweet touchdown, he totaled 3 catches for 41 yards in the victory.
- Hey, remember Allen Robinson? Yeah, he's still pretty good. Coming off a lost season with an ACL tear, Robinson signed with Chicago in the off season and certainly made his first reception with the Bears a memorable one. On the night he totaled 4 catches for 61 yards.
Allen Robinson going to get his first catch as a Bear! #CHIvsGB
