NFL Week 1 grades for all 32 teams: Ravens roll to an 'A-,' Bills earn high mark for win over Texans
• 14 min read
Welcome to the Week 1 grades.
The start of the 2026 season is here, 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 always seems to get a little crazy, and this year was no exception. In the early games on Sunday, we saw the Saints claw back from a 21-0 deficit to force overtime against the Lions, only to lose on a two-point conversion attempt. We also saw the Bears and Panthers make NFL history by combining for 96 points, the highest total ever in a Week 1 game (and a Scoragami!).
And then there was the Browns, who lost to the Jaguars 34-10. OK, that one wasn't crazy, because as you may or may not have noticed, the Browns almost never win in Week 1. Since returning to the NFL in 1999, the Browns are now 3-24-1 in the opening week of the season.
One of the biggest wins in Week 1 came in Houston, where Josh Allen won on the road against the Texans for the first time. That's where we're going to start our Week 1 grades.
