Here are the power rankings after Week 1.
Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season is officially in the books and my goodness was it fascinating. Quarterbacks around the league struggled to make an impact as defense reigned supreme, and we already have some fanbases hitting the panic button after brutal starts to the year.
This is still very much the feeling out stage of the season, so a lot of team rankings are based mostly off vibes.

Christian McCaffrey’s injury status turned Jordan Mason into an unfair target.
The San Francisco 49ers shocked the NFL by listing superstar running back Christian McCaffrey as inactive the team’s season opener against the New York Jets to cap Week 1 on Monday Night Football. McCaffrey had been listed on the injury report as questionable with Achilles and calf injuries, but it was widely assumed he was going to play. The next man up in the 49ers’ backfield was Jordan Mason, who turned in the game of his life in McCaffrey’s absence.

SB Nation spoke exclusively with Valtteri Bottas about the 2024 F1 season, the ‘joy’ of being a driver, and WhistlePig
The continued growth of Formula 1 worldwide — as well as in the United States — has been attributed to the Netflix docuseries Drive to Survive. Whatever the merits are regarding that argument, one of the aspects of that series that drove the growth of the sport worldwide is the introduction to the drivers themselves. Athletes who are incredible personalities outside of the car, and the best at what they do inside the car.

F1 is back this weekend with the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, and so is young Oliver Bearman
After a week off, Formula 1 is back in action this week with the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
At Haas, the week will offer a glimpse of the future as Oliver Bearman steps into the lineup, replacing Kevin Magnussen. Magnussen was hit with two penalty points for causing a collision with Pierre Gasly at the Italian Grand Prix, triggering a one-race ban.
For the young driver, this is his first chance at a full F1 weekend.

Jordan Mason had a night to remember on the field during the San Francisco 49ers‘ Week 1 win over the New York Jets, but after the final whistle, not so much.
Mason, an undrafted running back out of Georgia Tech, was given the start for the 49ers with Christian McCaffrey out with an injury. The news of McCaffrey not being able to go against the Jets was announced just prior to kickoff, and while Mason took full advantage of his opportunity, rushing for 147 yards and a score, he didn’t escape without making what could be a legitimately costly error.

With morale so low in the New York Giants’ locker room, it can only be up from here … right? 
Look no further for insight into the declining team culture than the Giants’ 2023 first-round pick, edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux. He frustratingly shut down a reporter over a question on Sunday.
KT’s move didn’t sit well with fans. (Who does he think he is … Deion Sanders?)
Thibodeaux and the Giants had every reason to hang their heads after an embarrassing debut against the Vikings, losing 28-6.
