The NFL preseason is officially underway, and Week 1 of the 2022 exhibition season has been quite eventful up to this point. Atlanta Falcons rookie quarterback Desmond Ridder threw a game-winning touchdown against the Detroit Lions with under two minutes left, Jordan Love and Trey Lance traded long touchdowns in the Bay and Cincinnati Bengals star kicker Evan McPherson went 3 of 3 on his field goals, including two from at least 56 yards out.<\/p>\n
There were also a couple of injuries, the most notable being New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson — who tore his meniscus<\/span>. However, he’s expected to be OK, and may not miss any time in the regular season.<\/p>\n This Saturday, we have a total of eight games to watch, starting with the Carolina Panthers vs. Washington Commanders and Kansas City Chiefs vs. Chicago Bears at 1 pm ET, and ending with a battle for LA between the Super Bowl champion Rams and Chargers. <\/p>\n Below, we will track all the must-see highlights from Saturday’s action. Get ready for a full day of football.<\/p>\n thursday<\/strong><\/p>\n Giants 23, Patriots 21 (Takeaways) Friday<\/strong><\/p>\n Falcons 27, Lions 23 (Recap) Saturday<\/strong><\/p>\n Bears 19, Chiefs 14 (Recap) Sunday<\/strong><\/p>\n Vikings at Raiders, 4:25 pm ET (Gametracker) <\/p>\n Two days, two rookie quarterbacks with game-winning touchdown passes. On Friday, it was Desmond Ridder getting it done against the Lions with fewer than two minutes to play. Pickett then one-upped Ridder on Saturday, connecting with Tyler Vaughns, who stepped out of a tackle and then dove for the front-left pylon with just three seconds to play. <\/p>\n It was a memorable debut for the first-round pick, who went 13-for-15 passing for 95 yards and a pair of scores. Mitchell Trubisky still has the inside track to be the Steelers’ Week 1 starter, but Pittsburgh has to be happy with its top draft pick in his NFL debut.<\/p>\n Geno Smith accounted for one touchdown in the first half, while Lock has thrown for two touchdowns in a little over a quarter. He’s completed eight of his first 11 throws for 102 yards and passing scores to Dareke Young and DeeJay Dallas.<\/p>\nscheduling<\/h2>\n
