The fourth week one of the 2023 National Football League regular season is now complete. Here are the top five headlines.
5) Derrick Henry throws a touchdown pass.
There is no doubt that Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry of Yulee, Florida is one of the elite running backs in the NFL. However, on Sunday, in a 27-3 Titans romp over the Cincinnati Bengals, Henry showed off his passing skills by throwing his fourth career touchdown pass. It came on a two-yard pass to rookie tight end Josh Whyle of Cincinnati, Ohio. In the 24-point win over Cincinnati, Henry also had 22 rushes for 122 rushing yards and another major score.
4) Broncos comeback to beat the Bears.
Denver got hammered last week in a 70-20 loss to the Miami Dolphins. Things looked brutal for the Broncos on Sunday as they were trailing 28-7 to the Chicago Bears in the third quarter. That is when Denver scored the last 24 points in the game to win 31-28. It tied the largest blown lead in Bears history according to ESPN. They also led the San Francisco 49ers 21-0 before losing 35-28 on October 18, 1953 and led the New England Patriots 27-6 before losing 33-30 on November 10, 2002.
3) Christian McCaffrey sets 49ers history.
San Francisco 49ers star running back Christian McCaffrey of Castle Rock, Colorado made franchise history by setting the record for the longest consecutive game streak (regular season and playoffs) with a touchdown (13) in a 35-16 49ers win over the Arizona Cardinals. McCaffrey actually had four touchdowns (three via the ground and one in the air) and had 177 total yards for a monster day.
2) Khalil Mack has a six sack day.
Linebacker Khalil Mack of Fort Pierce, Florida had six sacks in a 24-17 Los Angeles Chargers win over the Las Vegas Raiders. That is the second most number of sacks in one game. Derrick Thomas of the Kansas City Chiefs has the NFL record as he had seven sacks in a 17-16 Chiefs loss to the Seattle Seahawks on November 11, 1990.
1) Bill Belichick experiences his worst ever loss.
The Patriots got their butt kicked on Sunday in a 38-3 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. It was the worst loss in Bill Belichick’s head coaching history. The previous worst loss was a 31-0 Patriots loss to the Buffalo Bills on September 7, 2003.
