Tyreek Hill had an afternoon to remember after being detained by police and then scoring a brilliant touchdown to help the Miami Dolphins to a 20-17 Week 1 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

After being released, he made a huge impact on the field, in particular a wonderful 80-yard pass play which saw him take a long throw from quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and run in for a touchdown.
He then appeared to reenact his detainment with fellow wide receiver Jaylen Waddle walking behind as Hill held his arms behind his back, pretending he was in handcuffs.

Derek Carr also looked sharp as the New Orleans Saints thrashed the Carolina Panthers 47-10.
Carr threw for three TDs, the highlight being a 59-yard pass for Rashid Shaheed to score, while running back Alvin Kamara also went into the end zone.
Debut to forget for Williams
Quarterback Caleb Williams had a tough introduction on his NFL debut even though his Chicago Bears emerged 24-17 winners over the Tennessee Titans.
Williams, the number one overall pick, managed just 93 yards on 14-of-29 passing with no touchdowns and was also sacked twice. Fortunately for him, strong defense and fine play from the special teams bailed him out.
The post-Bill Belichick era at the New England Patriots began with a surprise 16-10 win against the Cincinnati Bengals.
