INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Tua Tagovailoa threw for 466 yards and three touchdowns, Tyreek Hill had 215 receiving yards and two scores, and the Miami Dolphins rallied for a 36-34 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.

Hill caught a 4-yard pass in the right corner of the end zone with 1:45 remaining for the winning touchdown as the Dolphins finished with 536 yards.

Hill also had a 35-yard score on a go-route late in the third quarter to put the Dolphins up 27-24.

Tagovailoa’s 466 passing yards are the fourth most in an opener. The fourth-year quarterback completed 28 of 45 for three touchdowns.

COWBOYS 40, GIANTS 0: Noah Igbinoghene returned a blocked field goal 58 yards for a touchdown on the opening series, DaRon Bland scored on a pick-6 later in the first quarter, and visiting Dallas embarrassed New York again.

Tony Pollard scored on two short touchdown runs, and Dallas forced three turnovers and sacked Daniel Jones seven times in shutting down New York’s supposedly improved offense while beating the Giants for the fifth straight time and 12th in 13th meetings.

BROWNS 24, BENGALS 3: Deshaun Watson ran for a touchdown and threw for another, and Cleveland’s defense bottled up Cincinnati quarterback Joe Burrow – the NFL’s new highest-paid player – in an impressive win at Cleveland.

Watson bolted for a 13-yard TD late in the first half, making the kind of dynamic play the Browns envisioned when they signed him to a $230 million contract in 2022. He missed 11 games last season for violating the league’s personal conduct policy.

Watson is in uniform from the start this season, and his presence has Cleveland expecting big things.

He added a 3-yard TD pass in the fourth quarter to tight end Harrison Bryant, and Watson celebrated by skipping down the field in front of Cincinnati’s sideline before converting the 2-point try with a run up the middle.

Burrow had a rough opener, two days after signing a five-year, $275 million extension. The Browns held Burrow to a career-worst 82 yards passing (14 of 31) as Cleveland’s rebuilt defensive line pressured him all day.

“They wanted to prove a point,” Watson said of Cleveland’s defense. “So I know they handled what they needed to handle. Those guys are fired up. They bring the swagger. They bring the energy, and I think we’ve seen that today.”

RAIDERS 17, BRONCOS 16: Jimmy Garoppolo threw two touchdown passes to fellow newcomer Jakobi Meyers in their Las Vegas debut, and the visiting Raiders spoiled Sean Payton’s first game as Denver’s coach.

The Raiders stretched their winning streak over their AFC West rivals to seven games despite the absence of star pass rusher Chandler Jones, who’s involved in a feud with the front office.

Garoppolo, who came to Las Vegas after six seasons in San Francisco, and Meyers, who joined the Raiders after four seasons in New England, connected 10 times for 81 yards, including touchdowns of 3 and 6 yards.

RAMS 30, SEAHAWKS 13: Matthew Stafford threw for 334 yards even without favorite target Cooper Kupp, Kyren Williams and Cam Akers combined for three touchdown runs, and visiting Los Angeles stunned Seattle.

With Kupp sidelined for the first four games of the season while on injured reserve because of a hamstring injury, Stafford found some new targets.

Rookie Puka Nacua had 10 catches for 119 yards in the first game of his career. Tutu Atwell had a career-high 119 yards on six catches.

PACKERS 38, BEARS 20: Jordan Love looked like he might be ready to follow in the footsteps of Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers, throwing for three touchdowns to lead Green Bay Packers to a victory at Chicago.

Aaron Jones ran for a touchdown and caught one, helping the Packers pull away in the second half for their ninth straight win over the Bears. Love completed 15 of 27 passes for 245 yards in his second career start.

49ERS 30, STEELERS 7: Brock Purdy threw for 220 yards and two touchdowns to Brandon Aiyuk in his return from offseason elbow surgery, and San Francisco won at Pittsburgh.

Purdy, who went from the last pick in the 2022 draft to entrenched starter in San Francisco after leading the 49ers to the NFC championship game, was crisp while completing 19 of 29 passes, including scoring strikes of 8 and 19 yards to Aiyuk.

Christian McCaffery ran for 151 yards and caught three passes for 17 yards for the 49ers, who looked every bit the dominant force they were down the stretch last season after Purdy took over at quarterback.

SAINTS 16, TITANS 15: Derek Carr passed for 305 yards and a touchdown, and New Orleans held on to beat visiting Tennessee.

The Saints did not allow a touchdown, intercepted Ryan Tannehill three times, sacked him three times, and stopped Tennessee on 10 of 12 third down plays.

Chris Olave caught eight passes for 112 yards for New Orleans, while Rasheed Shaheed had five receptions for 89 yards and the game’s lone touchdown late in the third quarter.

Former Patriots kicker Nick Folk made five field goals in his Tennessee debut.

BUCCANEERS 20, VIKINGS 17: Baker Mayfield recovered from a rough start to throw two touchdown passes without a turnover in his Tampa Bay debut, and the Buccaneers won at Minnesota.

Chase McLaughlin matched his career long with a 57-yard field goal for the lead with 5:10 left, and the Buccaneers forced a three-and-out on each of Minnesota’s last two possessions.

COMMANDERS 20, CARDINALS 16: Sam Howell threw a touchdown pass and ran for another score to make up for two turnovers, and Washington won at home, avoiding what would have been an embarrassing season-opening loss in its first game under new ownership.

The Commanders were sloppy with a pair of turnovers and several penalties along the offensive line that allowed Howell to be sacked six times.

But Washington’s defense eventually took over and made game-changing plays. Montez Sweat strip-sacked Joshua Dobbs early in the fourth quarter to set up Howell’s go-ahead 6-yard TD run, and Abdullah Anderson recovered another fumble by Arizona with under five minutes left.

RAVENS 25, TEXANS 9: J.K. Dobbins ran for an early touchdown before leaving because of a torn Achilles tendon, and Justice Hill scored twice in the second half as Baltimore pulled away from visiting Houston.

Ravens Coach John Harbaugh announced Dobbins’ injury after the game and said he would miss the rest of the season.

Lamar Jackson turned the ball over twice, and Baltimore looked out of sync for much of its first game with new offensive coordinator Todd Monken. But the Ravens kept Houston and rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud out of the end zone.

JAGUARS 31, COLTS 21: Tank Bigsby made up for a big mistake by scoring the go-ahead touchdown, and Travis Etienne Jr. added a 26-yard scoring run to seal Jacksonville’s victory at Indianapolis.

The defending AFC South champs snapped a five-game losing streak at Lucas Oil Stadium, though Bigsby’s miscue – casually allowing the ball to be punched out of his hands after what he thought was an incompletion – nearly extended the Jags’ misery.

Colts defensive tackle DeForest Buckner stripped the ball from Trevor Lawrence on a sack and then alertly scooped up Bigsby’s subsequent fumble before sprinting 26 yards and stretching the ball across the goal line to give Indy a 21-17 lead late in the third quarter.

Three series later, Jamal Agnew’s 48-yard punt return set up a 10-play drive that Bigsby capped with a 1-yard TD plunge to give Jacksonville a 24-21 lead with 5:14 to play.

FALCONS 24, PANTHERS 10: Bijan Robinson outshined top overall pick Bryce Young in their NFL debuts, leading Atlanta to a victory at home.

Young was intercepted twice by Jessie Bates in a rough start for the former Alabama star who is being counted on to lead a resurgence in Carolina.

Robinson, selected at No. 8 by the Falcons in defiance of those who say running backs shouldn’t go that high, showed his versatility by taking a swing pass for an 11-yard touchdown. He caught six passes for 27 yards and rushed 10 times for 56 yards.
