Welcome to the Week 1 grades. 

The 2024 NFL season is off and running and like we do every year, we’re going to be grading every game that’s played between now and January. 

The first week of the season is usually the most unpredictable week of the year and the Bengals found that out the hard way on Sunday against New England. In a game where the Bengals were favored by 7.5 points, the Patriots were able to pull off a shocking upset. 

The slow start for the Bengals has become an annual problem in Cincinnati: The Bengals are now 1-10 over the first two weeks of the season under coach Zac Taylor. 

The Bengals weren’t the only AFC North team to get off to an ugly start. The NFL teams in Ohio went 0-2 on Sunday with the Browns getting blown out by the Cowboys

One team that didn’t get off to a slow start in Week 1 was the San Francisco 49ers. The defending NFC champs capped off the opening week of the season with a 13-point win over the New York Jets. 

With that in mind, let’s get to the grades for Week 1. 

San Francisco 32-19 over N.Y. Jets 

New England 16-10 over Cincinnati

Dallas 33-17 over Cleveland

Pittsburgh 18-10 Atlanta

Buffalo 34-28 over Arizona

Chicago 24-17 over Tennessee

Houston 29-27 over Indianapolis

Miami 20-17 over Jacksonville

New Orleans 47-10 over Carolina

Minnesota 28-6 over New York Giants

L.A. Chargers 22-10 over Las Vegas

Seattle 26-20 over Denver
