Josh Allen Beats Texans, Lamar Jackson Dominates & Are The Giants A Wagon? | NFL WK1 Reactions

The 2026 NFL Season has BEGUN!!! A lot of action from the first Sunday of the season and plenty of storylines to roll through. Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills played a tremendous game against the Houston Texans and came out on top. CJ Stroud had a strong opening game of the season after dealing with an offseason of questions about his play and contract but he'll have to wait for week 2 to secure the Texans' first win of 2026. The offseason darling Chargers ran into some trouble with the Cardinals as Justin Herbert couldn't find his footing. Offenses were firing throughout the day with Lamar Jackson and the Ravens rolling to a 41-23 victory over the Colts, the Bengals dropping 33 on the Buccaneers, the Vikings scoring 22 points in the 4th quarter to beat the Packers 39-22, and Jaxson Dart and the Giants taking it to the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football. The Eagles also held off the Commanders for the 6th straight week 1 victory.

Chris breaks down all the Week 1 action with Nate 'Dr. Fax' Collins and the crew, gives out some week 1 mentions and reports on the action from the vaunted Bermuda Triangle! Enjoy!

*The Bears-Panthers game will be dissected IN-DEPTH by Chris and Beau on Wednesday so stayed tuned for that!
