Similarly to the 2023 Season, the Super Bowl champions suffered their opening game defeat at the hands of Baltimore, seeking retribution. Despite both teams’ offenses performing admirably, the final quarter became challenging for both sides as they struggled to advance the ball. Yet, Lamar Jackson masterfully led a decisive, late-game charge that culminated in Justin Tucker converting a 34-yard field goal for the win

In yesterday’s game, the Raven’s defense effectively shut down the Chiefs’ running attack, restricting Isaiah Pacheco to only 62 yards after 16 attempts. On the other hand, Derrick Henry had an impressive outing with a score in the third quarter, rushing for 85 yards unimpeded

In Brazil, the NFL’s inaugural match resulted in a Packers victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, score being 33-27. Both Jordan Love from the Packers and Jalen Hurts from the Eagles displayed impressive performance, accumulating a total of 645 passing yards and 6 touchdowns between them. However, Green Bay took a 27-20 lead by the end of the fourth quarter, effectively keeping Philadelphia at arm’s length through two field goal drives

In addition to them, both Saquon Barkley and Josh Jacobs participated in games with their fresh squads. Saquon managed to catch 4 balls for a total of 55 yards, whereas Jacobs racked up more than 90 rushing yards during his first match with the Packers

Steelers @ Falcons – NFL Week 1 Results According to Madden 25.

In their initial matches with their new squads, Russell Wilson and Kirk Cousins had a touch of unease. Nonetheless, Kirk Cousins played well enough to propel his Falcons to a 1-0 start. Bijan Robinson ran the ball 19 times for 104 yards and scored two touchdowns. On the other hand, Cousins completed passes totaling over 250 yards and added a score in the fourth quarter

As a devoted fan, it’s clear that Pittsburgh’s offense is still grappling with its form. George Pickens was our top receiver, managing just 5 catches for 65 yards. Unfortunately, Wilson’s passing game wasn’t much better, completing only 59% of his attempts, which contributed significantly to a disappointing offensive display

Cardinals @ Bills

Without delay, Josh Allen and the Bills plunged headfirst into the thick of things. The athlete gracing the cover of Madden 24 threw two touchdown passes and ran for another one in the third quarter. Additionally, third-year running back James Cook was a busy man, receiving 12 handoffs and catching three passes for a total of 101 yards. The Bills’ impressive second-quarter performance set them up well for victory

Nonetheless, the Cardinals made an effort to stage a comeback during the fourth quarter. Freshman receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. secured his initial career touchdown. Yet, Buffalo squashed any remaining hope for a comeback with a scoring drive, reestablishing a two-score lead

Titans @ Bears – NFL Week 1 Results According to Madden 25.

In his initial match for the Chicago Bears, Caleb Williams secured a victory. The novice quarterback delivered a commendable performance, tallying 233 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. Remarkably, he surpassed Will Levis, who unfortunately ended up throwing two interceptions during the game

However, the Titans almost evened the score when Tony Pollard scored a touchdown with just over three minutes remaining. Regrettably, Will Levis’ pass fell incomplete, leading them to attempt an onside kick. As expected, they failed, allowing Chicago to run out the clock and secure a 1-0 victory

Patriots @ Bengals

In their matchup against Jacoby Brissett and the Patriots, the Bengals showcased superiority. Joe Burrow’s impressive 376-yard passing effort resulted in five touchdown drives during their five trips to the red zone. Notably, the defense also contributed by forcing a safety in the fourth quarter, which boosted the scoreboard to 33-10 for the Bengals at that moment. Zack Moss had a strong debut as a member of the team, amassing 82 rushing yards on 20 attempts during the game

Texans @ Colts – NFL Week 1 Results According to Madden 25.

In the initial half, the intense AFC South competition between Anthony Richardson and C.J. Stroud was captivating. However, Richardson’s performance dipped in the second half while Stroud maintained his level of play. The game was knotted at 17-17 as they entered the third quarter, but the Texans surged ahead, outscoring the Colts 14-3 for the remainder of the match. Freshly signed running back Joe Mixon scored twice on both of their scoring drives in the second half, contributing significantly to the Texans’ victory

Meanwhile, Richardson dropped the ball on two occasions, missing chances to keep the match going. As Tennessee and Jacksonville suffered losses, Houston remains as the sole undefeated team within their division

Jaguars @ Dolphins

Given a sunny day and the location being Miami, it’s safe to say that the Dolphins will emerge victorious. As soon as Trevor Lawrence threw an interception for a touchdown on the opening play, I could sense the Dolphins’ win. Intriguingly enough, Miami racked up 21 points in the first quarter by itself

Initially, the Dolphins held a substantial advantage, but towards the end of the first half, Jacksonville managed to narrow the gap to 21-14. However, in the third quarter, Miami responded with an impressive sequence of 10 consecutive points. Despite Jacksonville’s subsequent scoring drives, they couldn’t quite close the gap

Tyreek Hill earned 160 yards on 10 catches and a touchdown. What else did you expect?

Panthers @ Saints – NFL Week 1 Results According to Madden 25.

In his first game of his second year, Bryce Young had a tough time against the New Orleans Saints. His passing stats were modest, totaling 192 yards with one touchdown but also throwing one interception. The overall performance of the Carolina Panthers offense was less than stellar, despite the addition of new offensive weapons for Young

However, New Orleans’ performance didn’t improve significantly. If they hadn’t stepped up their play earlier in the fourth quarter, they might have surrendered their lead. Derek Carr threw two interceptions during the game, and Alvin Kamara was managing just 3.8 yards per carry. Regardless, the Saints secured their initial victory of the season

Vikings @ Giants

The clash between two future Hall of Fame quarterbacks, Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones, turned out to be the most thrilling game yet. The Giants’ offense was in full swing, with Devin Singletary managing only 2.9 yards per rush. Rookie receiver Malik Nabers also grabbed one pass for a gain of 18 yards. What an exciting match!

Moreover, it’s hard to believe, but things got even more astounding as Sam Darnold tossed a remarkable three passes intercepted! However, the Jets could only capitalize on one of those turnovers with a score. I find myself shuddering as I recount this game

Raiders @ Chargers – NFL Week 1 Results According to Madden 25.

In Week 1, the Chargers managed a tight victory over their divisional foe, the Raiders. Justin Herbert scored a touchdown on his opening drive, but didn’t reach the end zone again until the fourth quarter. On the other hand, Gardner Minshew and the Raiders gradually closed the gap, even leading 17-10 at one instance. Nevertheless, Herbert and the Chargers found their groove towards the end, scoring twice to secure the win

In his first NFL game, Bo Nix had a rather unattractive performance, yet it wasn’t significantly worse than Geno Smith. The quarterback for Denver failed to score a touchdown and even threw an interception. However, Javonte Williams managed to rush for a surprising 75-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter. In contrast, Seattle primarily depended on kicker Jason Meyers to maintain their advantage. Moreover, Kenneth Walker III carried the ball 22 times, accumulating 122 yards

The Cowboys advanced into Ohio and outsmarting the Browns, CeeDak CeeDak (CeeDeeDee Deebbring, in Ohio was successful in catching 11 passes for a total of 157 yards, the Cowboys controlled most of the game time. Dak Prescott, on the other hand, managed to score two touchdowns and pass over 270 yards) in the victory. Deshaun Watson, however, continues to exhibit some difficulty, as he was only able to achieve one touchdown during the fourth quarter

Commanders @ Buccaneers

Jayden Daniels made an impressive start to his performance. He successfully achieved two touchdowns, didn’t throw any interceptions, and almost staged a comeback. Yet, his accuracy was questionable, managing to complete just 52% of his passes. Nevertheless, he managed to run seven times for 67 yards, maintaining Washington on the field several times

In their second year, the Buccaneers are off to a promising start with Baker Mayfield. Mike Evans snagged six receptions for 85 yards and scored twice thanks to Mayfield’s throws. Rachaad White is proving to be an unstoppable force at running back, amassing 116 yards on 25 carries

Rams @ Lions – NFL Week 1 Results According to Madden 25.

In my own perspective as a football player, I witnessed the Rams scoring on a last-second field goal in Matt Stafford’s second return to Detroit. Following a 20-0 lead, the Rams then allowed 21 unanswered points from the Lions. David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs both crossed the finish line for a combined 140 yards and two touchdowns. Meanwhile, Amon-Ra St. Brown caught 9 passes for 106 yards

However, just when it seemed all hope was lost, the Rams managed to pull themselves together at the critical juncture. A significant 36-yard catch by Puka Nacua set them up for a field goal attempt. Subsequently, some powerful runs by Kyren Williams ensued, culminating in a successful field goal and a hard-fought victory for the team

Jets @ 49ers

Ultimately, we reach the match between the Jets and the 49ers. In this encounter, Aaron Rodgers began and concluded a game for the Jets, but his performance was less than stellar. Gradually, the 49ers offense extended their advantage, leading to a score of 27-7 as the fourth quarter commenced

Rodgers and the Jets’ offensive unit attempted to make a comeback by scoring twice. He managed to connect with Garrett Wilson for a 2-point conversion, despite a holding penalty having voided their initial attempt. However, Christian McCaffrey played a part in winding down the clock as San Francisco secured their first victory of the season

In summary, based on the Week 1 results from Madden. These forecasts are likely to be accurate for a multitude of spectators, yet it’s their exceptional qualities that truly set them apart. We look forward to your continued reading, and we anticipate revisiting us again next week!
