How about that?
Week 1 finished with one of the best games we’ll see all season. By the time the Jets’ punt return touchdown became official and the lights went out at MetLife Stadium, our heads had been spun so many different ways by so many colliding narratives that it was hard to remember where we’d begun, and why we watched in the first place.
This week’s power rankings will hopefully be free of too much Jets–Bills hangover.

One of the best parts of the NFL Week 1 schedule and subsequent results? Seeing which rookies step up from the jump.
This year, the attention was on a trio of first-year quarterbacks in Anthony Richardson, C.J. Stroud and Bryce Young, along with running backs Jahmyr Gibbs, Bijan Robinson and Zach Charbonnet among others.
Yet while all eyes were on the perceived stars of the rookie class, there were surprises around the league with less-heralded players stepping to the fore. Here’s what our stock watch looked like before Week 1, and here’s how it looks as we hurdle toward Week 2.

A Pakistani court on Tuesday ordered the five siblings of a 10-year-old girl who was found dead with extensive injuries near London put into a children’s protection center after they were located by police. Sara Sharif was found dead at her home in Woking, on the southern outskirts of London, on Aug. 10. British police identified her father, Urfan Sharif, his wife, Beinash Batool, and Urfan’s brother, Faisal Malik, as people they want to speak to in the investigation.

LEOMINSTER, Mass. (AP) — Heavy rainfall has flooded parts of Massachusetts and Rhode Island, with one city declaring a state of emergency as water poured into homes, creating moats around their foundations, and stranded drivers. Mayor Dean Mazzarella in Leominster, about 40 miles (64 kilometers) northwest of Boston, urged people not to venture outside as roads flooded Monday night, but some residents were evacuated as water came into their basements.

A “cursed” portrait of a little girl that has twice been returned to a charity shop for being “haunted” has been sold for more than £1,680 in an online auction. Zoe Elliott-Brown was the last person to buy the portrait from Hastings Advice and Representation Centre (HARC) in August. Ms Elliott-Brown returned to HARC a few days later to see if the painting had been sold for a third time.

The New York Jets beat the Buffalo Bills in thrilling fashion Monday with a 65-yard walk-off punt return in overtime by undrafted rookie Xavier Gipson that sent MetLife Stadium into hysterics. 
You know who didn’t seem all that thrilled by that incredible ending? Peyton Manning and Eli Manning, who were doing the season’s first ManningCast on ESPN2. 
It was a long night of football, with the biggest story happening just four snaps into the game when Aaron Rodgers left with an ankle injury that might be very serious.

The New York Jets beat the Buffalo Bills in dramatic fashion on Monday night, with undrafted rookie Xavier Gipson returning a punt 65 yards for a walk-off touchdown just minutes into overtime.
Moments after he crossed the goal line, however, one voice on ESPN’s Monday Night Football broadcast quickly tried to ruin the party by saying the refs missed a call on the return and the Jets’ win should come with an asterisk on it. This comes just a few days after NBC’s Mike Tirico said the Lions’ win over the Chiefs should have an asterisk.

What a way to start Monday Night Football.
The New York Jets and Buffalo Bills gave us a thoroughly entertaining opener to Monday Night Football to cap Week 1. Aaron Rodgers’ debut was hyped as the big story of the night, but instead the quarterback went down with a potentially season-ending Achilles injury on his first possession of the game. The game did not get any more normal from there.

Aaron Rodgers pulled off an incredibly patriotic move Monday night on the anniversary of 9/11.
The Jets QB suffered a brutal injury just a few snaps into his career with the Jets, and it’s believed he possibly has an Achilles tendon injury.
It’s a brutal blow to the Jets if Rodgers’ injury is as bad as early signs indicate. His time on the field this season might be over after just a few snaps against Buffalo.
