Week 1 of the NFL Sunday Review: the era of Micah Parsons de Green Bay begins after the low toxic ‘season, Travis Hunter says that’ can do more ‘
The low season of the NFL was dominated by the conversation of where Micah Parsons would align in week 1.
As one of the most dynamic passes runners in the NFL, the fans of the Dallas Cowboys were desperate to keep it under a new contract, while fans of other teams wanted the 26 -year -old player to help his franchise reach a new level.
After the conversations by contract with the owner of the Cowboys, Jerry Jones, broke in a very public way, the Green Bay Packers acquired Parsons in a successful trade and quickly gave a new record contract.
Despite injury concerns, putting their participation in week 1 in doubt, Parsons was able to put the famous green and gold when the Packers assumed their NFL North rivals, the Detroit Lions.
Although he only played 29 of the 65 defensive snapshots of Green Bay, Parsons played a key role in the victory of the Packers 27-13 over Detroit.
In his first click, he was able to press the Marshal of Campo de los Leones, Jared Goff, who would finally end as an interception in the red zone.
In the fourth quarter, Parsons obtained his first sack since he moved north of Texas to Wisconsin, knocking down Goff and giving serenade with strong fans inside Lambeau Field.
Just be back in the field brought relief for Parsons after what he called a “super drainage, super toxic” the last six months.
“It is something that I do not think that any player should have to happen … the fact that they changed me a week before the season was really outrageous and difficult,” said the journalists four times.
Although he had been dealing with injuries in the accumulation of the new campaign, Parsons says it could have been much better if his low season had been resolved before.
“It is something that could have been with these guys improving and better and we could probably have had even more dominant beginning,” he said.
“These guys hugged me. They believe in my talents. They believed in me and I will give these boys everything I have because I know what is at stake and I know what they gave me to be here and I will do what he needs to win.”
For a Super Bowl aspirations team, Parsons is being seen as perhaps the final piece of the puzzle to tilt them on the edge.
And seeing Parsons for the first time in Action was a show for the view, even for his new chief coach, Matt Lafleur.
“It seemed the speed of light or a fleeting star that has just left the sky and closing the ground quickly. I mean, that’s why it’s here, right? I mean, that was really exciting to see,” Lafleur told journalists.
“I definitely know that our crowd also reacted in the right way. I mean, I don’t know if I have heard our crowd much stronger than when they presented it and certainly in that bag.”
One of the great questions that are directed at week 1 was how the Bidirectional Travisa Hunter sensation would be displayed by the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Hunter, who was recruited with selection number 2 in the 2025 NFL draft out of Colorado, has spent much of the preseason learning offensive and defensive play books: his ability on both sides of the ball was a key reason why he won the Heisman trophy last season.
But in week 1 when the Jaguars faced the Carolina Panthers, it was mainly on offense where Hunter was used.
The 22 -year -old played 44 of Jacksonville’s 63 snapshots in the offensive as an open receiver and appeared in just six defensive snapshots as a corner.
Hunter ended with six receptions for 33 yards in the 26-10 victory of the JAGS over the Panthers and says he has a lot of space to improve in the future.

“I did my job,” Hunter told journalists later. “That was the main approach. I did what they asked me to do. I know I can do more and I know I can do it better.”
Hunter’s game could have seen it very different when a pass from the fourth quarter of the Marshal of Campo Trevor Lawrence seemed to be sailing on his way to a touchdown, but the corner of the Panthers, Jaycee Horn, made a miraculous interception with one hand to deny the rookie.
While he had a limited impact on his NFL debut, his general performance was praised by teammates and coaches later.
“It was great. He had some big catches, obviously,” Lawrence said. “It is a weapon for us, and will continue to improve more and more.
“It’s a confrontation in space, great with the ball in his hands. I could have more out there. I felt that I could have given some more opportunities with some of those I lost.”
Jags chief coach Liam Coen, explained later that Hunter had lost defensive practice in the last 10 days of preseason action with an injury, which means that it was absent in the key meetings where the defense was implementing unique coverage schemes for the game against the Panthers.
“Maybe this game was a little less for him,” Coen said. “I think it will only continue to evolve and go more … I can only see it underway and expand from here.”
Hunter arrived for the game with a different look by having cut his dreadlocks and choosing a buzzut, something that gives a new beginning in his life.
“It was time to let him go. New person, new person. Welcome to a new chapter in my life. Just cut it,” he said.
It is the beginning of a new era in Las Vegas with the winner of the Super Bowl, Pete Carroll, the beginning of the success of the Raiders is responsible.
And things began perfectly for the 73-year-old, winning his opening game as a coach of Silver and Black against the New England Patriots, 20-13.
In doing so, Carroll improved 4-0 in his debut with new teams, which means that he makes history as the greatest amount of victories in debut training in the NFL history. Previously, Carroll had won his first games with the New York Jets, the Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks, with whom he won the Super Bowl XLVIII.
In addition, Carroll, who turns 74 on September 15, is now the oldest coach in the history of the League.
The former Seahawks chief coach was not the only new Seattle face in Las Vegas to make history on Sunday.
The new field marshal Geno Smith, who joined the Seahawks in the low season, launched 362 yards against the Patriots, passing Dan Pastorini for the largest amount of aerial yards in a debut of the Raiders. Pastorini had launched for 317 in week 1 in 1980.
