NFL Week 1

The 2025 season of the NFL got underway on the 4th of September. The race to Super Bowl LX at the Levi’s Stadium, home of the 49ers, saw the defending champions, the Philadelphia Eagles, host the Cowboys. The new campaign was somewhat delayed by an electric storm but when the game got going it was worth the wait. The Eagles led 21-20 at the break but the second half was very different and in the end the 2024 champions prevailed by 24-20.

The other team from last season’s Super Bowl failed to win. The Chiefs went down to the LA Chargers, losing 21-27 in a match played in Sao Paulo. Another “dynasty team” of recent years started with a defeat, the Pats losing 20-13 to the Raiders despite having homefield advantage. Aaron Rodgers made his debut for the Steelers, throwing for four TDs as his side beat the Jets 34-32 on the road. Elswehere the 49ers won 17-13 in Seattle and we saw a thrilling clash on Sunday the 7th of September between the Ravens and the Bills, the home side delighting the Buffalo crowd by winning 41-40.
