N.F.L. Week 1: Live Game Updates and Scores

Luck had already won the first duel and after the penalty, Indianapolis was on the 9-yard line from Cincinnati. The race was interrupted and the Colts picked a goal on the field.

The new rules of attack of N.F.L. largely govern how a player tackles the tackle, as it is illegal to lower the head and win with a player, and the rule applies to both offensive and defensive players. Many have criticized the rule by saying that the radical change in approach could change the composition of the game.

Dolphins kneel during the national anthem

While Kenneth Stills and Albert Wilson of the Miami Dolphins sidelined to play the national anthem before their match against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, N.F.L. officially entered its third season of protesting players to raise awareness of police brutality and social inequality among people of color.

The events during the anthem largely dominated the off-season conversation around N.F.L. and even before the start of today's games, President Trump raised the issue on Twitter.

Stills, a sixth-year catcher from Oklahoma, has played the role of most important active player who continues to squat in the style of Colin Kaepernick, then a San Francisco 49ers, in 2016. two Kaepernick and former teammate Eric Reid are out of the NFL – and filed grievances against the league claiming they were in collusion – leaving Stills and Wilson as the only players in the league. kneel during this year's preseason.

Another Dolphin member, Robert Quinn, raised his fist during the anthem, as did Marquise Goodwin, a San Francisco 49ers receiver, who raised his fist before his team's game against the Minnesota Vikings.

N.F.L. Week 1 Lines of main stories

• It's been a while since the rivalry between the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears means a lot – Aaron Rodgers has 15-4 against the Bears and his predecessor, Brett Favre, 23-13 – but he may have had a new life with the trade that sent Khalil Mack, the NFL 2016 Defensive Player of the Year, from the Oakland Raiders to the Bears in exchange for picks. Mack is the type of defensive player who seems to be changing all the games in the game and he may be the key to stopping Rodgers from participating in his typical end-game heroines. That being said, asking Mitchell Trubisky to win a road match in prime time against Rodgers could be too much of a demand for a sophomore quarterback.

• Jimmy Garoppolo has only seven career starts and Kirk Cousins ​​has only 26-30-1 in career in six seasons, but both have been recruited as franchise quarterbacks and have been awarded contracts corresponding to that. title. During Week 1, the San Francisco 49ers of Coppins and Cousins ​​of Minnesota, in the Battle of Garoppolo, will face in a battle where the team of fans will be able to maintain their extraordinary enthusiasm.

• The Indianapolis Colts have a lot to do when Andrew Luck returns for their quarter-op against the Cincinnati Bengals. Luck admits in an interview with NFL Network that after tearing his labrum on the field during the 2015 season, he still damaged his shoulder in a snowboarding accident after the season. A more important concern for the Colts is the fact that the team collected 10-12 points in early 2015, after reaching 33-15 in its first three years.

• Several major players have been lagging long in the offseason, but Earl Thomas is back on the Seahawks and Aaron Donald is preparing for the Rams, leaving Pittsburgh Steelers' Veon Bell the only player whose the resistance will stretch in the regular season. Running dynamics are at the center of the Steelers' offense, and without him, Pittsburgh will launch James Conner, a third-round pick in 2017, against Pitt, against the Cleveland Browns. Bell's teammates are not happy and the players have begun to join the Browns in anticipation of the end of the 17-game losing streak.

• Houston Texans' Deshaun Watson, who may have become the league's most exciting rookie last season, will be back on the field for the first time since tearing his cruciate ligament earlier in November. Even with Watson at his best, Houston has a story against them in a game against the Patriots, as the franchise has never won a match in six trips to New England.

• There are few clashes between a corner catcher and a wide receiver that can compete with Jalen Ramsey's excitement of the Jacksonville Jaguars covering Odell Beckham Jr. of the Giants. Their much-awaited showdown – exacerbated by Ramsey's ransacking Eli Manning (and most other NFL quarters) in an interview with GQ – did not seem to materialize when Ramsey was put under surveillance earlier this week. but his ankle problem seems to have been resolved and it was removed from the report.

• Los Angeles Chargers dominant defensive end Joey Bosa has a foot injury and Eric Berry, the Kansas City Chiefs' unparalleled safety, is uncertain with a high heel. Olivier Vernon, a defender of the Giants, and Andrus Peat, a departure guard of the Saints of New Orleans, are also major players.
