Week 1 of the NFL season pitted a pair of #NextLevelRams against each other in the first regular-season game of the year, a contest which didn't disappoint as the defending Super Bowl Champions, Tampa Bay, outlasted Dallas 31-29.
 
Tampa Bay linebacker Shaquil Barrett finished with four tackles, including a sack which resulted in a 12-yard loss.
 
Dallas receiver Michael Gallup was having strong showing in the opener before exiting late due to a calf injury. He has been placed on injured reserve and will be sidelined for at least three weeks.
 
Michael Gallup – Before the injury, he had turned six targets into four catches, good for 36 yards.
 
Rashard Higgins – He was not targeted in the game as Cleveland dropped a 33-29 road decision at Kansas City.
 
Trent Sieg – Back for his fourth season as the Las Vegas longsnapper, he and the Raiders enjoyed a 33-27 win over Baltimore to open the year.
 
Ty Sambrailo – The veteran offensive lineman for Tennessee played in a reserve role in the Titans' 38-13 loss to Arizona.
 
Shaquil Barrett -- Three of Barrett's stops were solo efforts, adding a pair of quarterback hurries on the night.
 
Preston Williams – He was not active as Miami opened with a 17-16 win over New England.

Adam Prentice – He was not active in the Saints' 38-3 victory over Green Bay. 
 
Note -- Olabisi Johnson sustained a knee injury during training camp and will be out for the season; he is on Minnesota's injured list.
