I was going to give one of the three defensive players on Tampa Bay player of the game since SirVocea Dennis, Zyon McCollum, and Tykee Smith all had over 10 total tackles. Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans were complaining about the performance of all three players. Tampa Bay's offense was sloppy, but without Tristan Wirfs at left tackle Baker Mayfield didn't have a lot of time to throw. I went with Tampa Bay's 2025 first round pick as my player of the game.


Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka had 4 receptions on 6 targets, 67 receiving yards, 9 rushing yards, 76 total yards, and 2 receiving touchdowns. Emeka Egbuka stepped up as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers number two wide receiver and led Tampa Bay in receiving yards in week 1.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels was my player of the game. Jayden Daniels went 19/30 with 233 passing yards, 68 rushing yards, 299 total yards, 1 passing touchdown, and 0 interceptions. I love how Jayden Daniels pointed out how the team was sloppy in his post game press conference. He was one yard shy of my 300 total yards prerequisite for player of the game, but the accountability he held the Washington Commanders too gives him a landslide edge over Washington's quarterback on defense Bobby Wagner for player of the game in week 1.




Carolina Panthers 0-1-0
Versus
Jacksonville Jaguars 1-0-0


Game Recap: JACKSONVILLE-Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young will not have his left tackle Ikem Ekwonu. The top two wide receivers in the 2025 NFL Draft were also playing against each other in this game.


Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little made a field goal. Jacksonville led 3-0.


Carolina Panthers kicker Ryan Fitzgerald made a field goal. This game was tied 3-3 after one quarter of play.


Bryce Young threw an interception. Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence threw a touchdown to Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Hunter Long. Jacksonville led 10-3.


Trevor Lawrence threw a touchdown pass to Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas III. Jacksonville led 17-3.


Cam Little made a field goal after a one hour lightning delay. Jacksonville led 20-3 at halfitme.


either team scored in the third quarter. Jacksonville led 20-3 after three quarters of play.


Cam Little made a third field goal which was from 49 yards after Jacksonville ate up eight minutes and seven seconds of clock to start the fourth quarter. Jacksonville led 23-3.


Carolina put together a 10 play 80 yard drive from their own 20 yard line that lasted two minutes and twenty two seconds. Bryce Young threw a twenty one yard pass to Tetairoa McMillan. Bryce Young threw a fifteen yard third down conversion to Tetairoa McMillan. Jacksonville Jaguars free safety Andrew Wingard had a pick six on Bryce Young, but a defensive holding penalty on Jacksonville Jaguars nickel cornerback Jourdan Lewis negated this play. Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young capped off this drive with a 27 yard touchdown pass to Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard. Jacksonville led 23-10.


Cam Little got a field goal. Jacksonville led 26-10.


Carolina was down by 16 with less than two minutes. Basically, Carolina needed two touchdowns and two two point conversions to tie this game. Carolina had problems on the offensive line without Ikem Ekwonu at left tackle. Jourdan Lewis madeup for his defensive holding penalty with an interception. Jacksonville won 26-10.


I want to give Bryce Young the benefit of the doubt with Ikem Ekwonu out. Brady Christensen was suppposed to start at left tackle, but former Green Bay Packers right tackle Yosh Nijman got the start at left tacke. Yosh Nijman kept Josh-Hines Allen from getting any tackles the entire game while right tackle Taylor Moton kept Travon Walker in check. Dawaune Smoot the backup 4-3 right end to Josh-Hines Allen had the only sack in week 1 when he beat Yosh Nijman If Bryce Young had that much time without Ekwonu, then that does refect poorly on Young, but I'll give him more time for now until Ekwonu returns. If Bryce Young plays this poorly when Ekwonu returns, we will have to have a discussion about him being Carolina's quarterback of the future later this season.


Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. was my player of the game. Travis Etienne Jr. had 16 carries, 143 rushing yards, 3 receptions on 3 targets, 13 receiving yards, 19 carries, and 156 total yards.
