Welcome to this week’s Hugh Watches Sports post. In this edition we will reflect on the second week of the US Open, the start of the Champions League, a huge international rugby match-up, the latest Formula 1 race, a big clash from German football, plus the return of NFL. Let’s get into it.
US OPEN WEEK TWO (TENNIS)
Tennis’ grand slam season came to an end this week with the conclusion of the US Open. In last week’s Hugh Watches Sports post, I covered the opening three rounds and all the stories from week one so here is my guide through what happened in week two. As we reached the last sixteen stage of both singles draws, there was a blockbuster match-up in the women’s tournament as second seed Elena Rybakina came up against two-time champion Naomi Osaka. However it proved to be a one-sided contest as Rybakina cruised to a 6-2 6-4 victory. Elsewhere, we lost another former champion as Iga Swiatek was beaten in straight sets by Qinwen Zheng. There were no problems for Aryna Sabalenka, Jessica Pegula and Coco Gauff though as they all secured straight set triumph’s in round four. Similarly, the top two seed’s in the men’s draw progressed from the fourth round with straight sets victories as Alexander Zverev and Carlos Alcaraz saw off the respective challenges of Luciano Darderi and Tommy Paul. Meanwhile, 2021 US Open champion Daniil Medvedev lost out 7-6 6-4 7-6 to eleventh seed Frances Tiafoe to further open up the men’s draw. The most dramatic match of round four came on an outside court as Botic Van De Zandschulp came back from two sets down and saved a match point on route to beating Arthur Gea 3-6 6-7 7-6 7-6 6-4 in over five hours. It was an epic encounter as Van De Zandschulp booked his place in the second grand slam quarter final of his career. On Tuesday in New York we were treated to an epic day of tennis as the quarter finals began. First on the Arthur Ashe Stadium court was Sabalenka who defeated Wimbledon champion Linda Noskova 7-6 3-6 7-6 after having been down a break in the third set. That was followed by a dramatic all-American encounter as Tiafoe recovered from a break down in the third and fifth sets to pull off an incredible comeback and beat Alex Michelsen 5-7 3-6 7-5 6-3 7-6. Then in the day’s night session, Pegula got past Emma Navarro in three tight sets, before Alcaraz took on home favourite Ben Shelton. In a thrilling match which featured multiple momentum shifts, Shelton ended Alcaraz’s title defence with a 6-7 6-1 6-3 1-6 7-6 triumph to reach the semi finals. After four incredible matches which all went to either three or five sets, Shelton and Alcaraz’s battle concluded at 3.33am making it the latest finish in US Open history. The next day saw the other four quarter finals take place which also delivered both drama and impactful results. First, Rybakina saw off Zheng in three sets to reach the semi finals which means she will become the new world number one next week. Then, Gauff produced some stunning tennis to defeat fifth seed Mirra Andreeva 2-6 7-6 6-2 after having saved two match points in the second set tie-break. Following that match, Zverev cruised past Van De Zandschulp in straight sets. Then, the last quarter final encounter sadly ended in a retirement as Alexander Blockx pulled out with an injury during the third set against Karen Khachanov. On Thursday night, under the lights, it was time for the women’s semi finals. Interestingly, this was the first time since 1975 that the US Open women’s semi final line-up was made up of the top four seed’s. First on court, Sabalenka faced Pegula in a repeat of the 2025 final. Following a tight first set, Sabalenka ran away with the second to clinch a 7-5 6-2 triumph and progress into the US Open final for the fourth successive year. Then, Gauff and Rybakina contested three tough sets. After splitting the first two, Rybakina looked to be heading for victory when she served for the match at 5-3 on the third but remarkably Gauff broke her serve. However, the joy for the American was short-lived as Rybakina broke her serve in the next game to secure her spot in Saturday’s final with a 3-6 6-4 6-4 win. Less than twenty-four hours later, the men’s semi finals took centre stage with Zverev and Khachanov opening play. After Zverev took the first set 6-3, the next two sets didn’t involve a single break of serve which resulted in two sensational tie-break’s, both won by Zverev. The German clinched his place in a US Open final for the second time in his career by beating Khachanov 6-3 7-6 7-6. Following that match was an all-American encounter as Tiafoe faced Shelton with them both looking to book their place in a maiden grand slam final. Having split the first two sets, Shelton took control of the match by seizing the third on route to securing a 4-6 6-3 6-3 7-5 victory. As we reached final’s weekend in New York, we had two exciting match-up’s ahead. First, top seed and two-time defending champion Sabalenka would take on newly-crowned world number one Rybakina. Then, Shelton would attempt to become the first American man to win a grand slam since 2003 when he faced top seed and Roland Garros champion Zverev. On Saturday, an early break proved enough for Rybakina to win the opening set 6-4. Although Sabalenka fought back to win a high-quality second set 7-5 and force a decider. In the third set, Rybakina’s consistency shone through as she took an early lead and never looked back on route to winning her first US Open title. With a 6-4 5-7 6-2 victory, Rybakina ended Sabalenka’s reign as US Open champion and sealed her third grand slam triumph. It was the perfect end to a phenomenal fortnight for Rybakina as she picked up her second grand slam trophy of the season and the world number one ranking. On Sunday afternoon in New York the tournament concluded with the men’s singles final. As the match got started, Zverev made his intentions clear with an immediate break of Shelton’s serve on route to taking the first set 6-3. With no breaks at all in set two we headed to a tie-break where Zverev emerged victorious to out himself a set away from the title. It looked as if there would be another tie-break as we reached the closing stages of the third set although Shelton had other ideas as he broke Zverev’s serve in the twelfth game to take it 7-5. As we moved into set four, Zverev gained an early break to place himself in a strong position. With a dominant display in the fourth set, Zverev became a two-time grand slam champion as he defeated Shelton 6-3 7-6 5-7 6-2. It was a superb achievement for the world number two who has won half of the grand slam titles available to him this year. That concluded the 2026 US Open as Rybakina and Zverev got their hands on the respective singles trophies in New York for the first time in their career’s.
REAL MADRID VS INTER MILAN (FOOTBALL)
Europe’s premier club competition returned this week with the headline fixture seeing Real Madrid host Inter Milan. Last season both of these side’s exited the competition much earlier than they’d have anticipated so this would be the start of what they hope to be a more successful European campaign. It seemed a very fitting draw for Inter as the last time they won the Champions League in 2010 the final was held at the Bernabeu Stadium, the same arena where this match-up took place. Furthermore, current Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho was Inter’s boss on that occasion and their current head coach Cristian Chivu played in that final. Sixteen years later, Chivu would now come up against his former manager for the first time as a coach. Whilst Real Madrid were marginal favourites heading into this tie, Inter were coming off an incredible 3-2 victory at the weekend in which they came back from 2-0 down to defeat Napoli. Meanwhile, Real Madrid suffered a tight 1-0 loss to Real Betis in their last fixture. When the team news came out on Tuesday night, there was a lot of interest centred around Real Madrid’s midfield as with Bernardo Silva, Arda Guler and Eduardo Camavinga suspended, Mourinho opted to start Trent Alexander-Arnold alongside Federico Valverde. When the match kicked off, Inter had the majority of possession in the early stages however Real Madrid were very well-organised in their pressing game. That organisation paid off for them in the fourteenth minute when Yann Bisseck’s heavy touch was capitalised on by Brahim Diaz who slid in Kylian Mbappe with a first-time pass and the Frenchman placed the ball past Inter goalkeeper Josep Martinez to score. That marked Mbappe’s seventy-first goal in the Champions League, moving him up to fifth on the all-time leaderboard for goals scored in the competition. Nine minutes later, more high pressing from Real Madrid saw them double their lead as Martinez failed to clear the ball quickly enough and he was caught in possession by Valverde who stole the ball and tapped it into an empty net. It was a horrible error from the Inter goalkeeper whilst also being another demonstration of how well-drilled Mourinho has his new side. Later in the half, the hosts almost scored a third goal when Mbappe won the ball on the halfway line and charged towards goal but his shot was saved by Martinez who then got up quickly to spectacularly deny Bellingham from scoring the rebound. A sensational double save from the Inter stopper made up for his earlier error as he prevented his side from going three goals down. That turned out to be the final action in an intriguing first half where Inter had the greater share of possession but Real Madrid created more chances and were 2-0 up at the break. After the interval, Real Madrid continued to create the better chances to score including when Diaz ran into the penalty area and chipped the ball across for Bellingham to control and shoot but his attempt from close range was excellently blocked by Martinez. Soon after, Inter finally managed to turn their possession into testing Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois as Alessandro Bastoni’s low-driven strike from just outside he penalty area was well parried by the Belgian stopper. That began a phase of the match where Inter were on the front foot and on seventy-seven minutes they scored a goal back to set up an exciting ending. It came courtesy of Carlos Augusto who directed captain Lautaro Martinez’s cross into the back of the net with a first-time finish. From then on, Inter went in search of an equaliser although they struggled to create any clear-cut opportunities against Real Madrid’s resolute and well-organised defence. When the full time whistle blew at the Bernabeu, it confirmed that Real Madrid made a winning start to their Champions League campaign as they defeated Inter 2-1. Both teams will now return to domestic league action, before the next round of matches in this competition are scheduled to be played in mid-October.
SOUTH AFRICA VS NEW ZEALAND (RUGBY UNION)
Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry tour concluded on Saturday as South Africa faced New Zealand for the fourth time in as many weeks. Coming into this encounter, the Springboks held a 2-1 lead in the series after they lost the opening test but bounced back well by winning the most recent two. However they no longer had home advantage for this match as it took place in the United States. More specifically, Baltimore was the host city for the final head-to-head of the tour as South Africa looked to secure a 3-1 series win, whilst New Zealand aimed to salvage a 2-2 draw. With all three of the previous test matches delivering some incredible rugby, excitement was high as the game kicked off. Three minutes in, South Africa took an early lead when they were awarded a penalty for a high tackle which was duly converted by Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu. Although the lead quickly changed hands five minutes later as a sweeping attacking move from New Zealand took them deep into Springboks territory where Codie Taylor dived over the try line to score five points. The resulting conversion attempt was then successfully taken by Damian McKenzie to put the All Blacks 7-3 in front. As we have seen across this series, the matches have tended to be end-to-end encounters and this was no different as South Africa responded by scoring the next two tries of the game. First, Damian De Allende provided the finishing touches to a sustained Springboks attack, before Morne Van Den Berg dropped his shoulder and then squeezed through a gap in the All Blacks’ defence to force the ball over the try line. Both of those tries were backed up by Feinberg-Mngomezulu kicking the ball between the posts to add an extra four points to South Africa’s total. As the first half continued, the Springboks seemed in relative control of the match however a stunningly quick exchange of passes between New Zealand’s forward line saw them score right at the end of the half. It was a superb move at the end of a relentless thirty-two phase attack which ended with Will Jordan scoring his fourth try of the series. With McKenzie then stepping up to effectively score the conversion attempt, New Zealand narrowed their deficit to just three points at the halfway mark. After half time, South Africa re-gained control of the encounter with two tries in quick succession. In the forty-ninth minute, a maul from a line-out saw the Springboks force the ball across the try line in the arms of Malcolm Marx. Then, three minutes later, Pieter-Steph Du Toit powered through the last line of New Zealand’s defence to score. Those two tries, coupled with one successful conversion from Van Den Berg saw the Springboks extend their lead to 29-14. Unsurprisingly, next came a determined response from New Zealand as they searched for a way to get back into the game. Their resilience was rewarded on sixty-three minutes as Ethan Blackadder dived in to score a try, before McKenzie sent the conversion through the posts. However, eight minutes later, South Africa re-established their cushion on the scoreboard when Kurt-Lee Arendse picked up a loose ball and ran from inside his own half all the way to the try line to score. It was a phenomenal run from Arendse and when his teammate Manie Libbok scored the conversion, the Springboks looked set to record a third consecutive victory. Moments after that, the win was as good as sealed for South Africa as a try from Cameron Hanekom further extended their advantage. When Libbok then scored the conversion attempt, the Springboks reached forty-three points in what was another devastatingly strong performance from their attack. In the closing stages of the match, New Zealand were able to score their fourth try of the encounter albeit it was only a consolation. That came courtesy of Beauden Barrett which, coupled with McKenzie’s fourth conversion of the day, saw them move onto twenty-eight points. At the end of another thrilling head-to-head between the world’s top two nations, the Springboks clinched a 3-1 series win in the 2026 Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry tour. Following two victories on home soil over New Zealand, South Africa triumphed 43-28 in Baltimore to further enhance their reputation as the best team in world rugby.
SPANISH GRAND PRIX (FORMULA 1)
After a visit to the oldest circuit on the 2026 Formula 1 calendar last week, the world’s best drivers headed to its newest this week. The ‘Madring’ in Madrid is a brand new track which has never been raced on before, which meant there was even more intrigue than usual heading into an F1 weekend. As none of the drivers have ever driven here before, the three practice sessions took on extra importance ahead of qualifying. Additionally the teams came into the weekend with no data from previous race’s to inform ideas about race strategy so everyone was learning on the job in Madrid. On Saturday afternoon, the first competitive session at the Madring saw Lando Norris put together a stunning lap to clinch pole position. The reigning world champion would be joined on the front row for Sunday’s race by current championship leader Kimi Antonelli in second. Directly behind them would be Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton, ahead of Charles Leclerc and George Russell on row three. When the lights went out on race day, Norris held onto the lead but Antonelli got ahead of him by going off the track twice during the first lap but rightly gave the position back on both occasions. Behind them, Hamilton snuck ahead of Verstappen on the run to turn one however the Dutchman got back ahead via going off the track however he didn’t immediately give the position back. In fact Verstappen set off after Antonelli and overtook the Italian for second place at the end of the opening lap. Although he was then ordered by his team to give a position back to Hamilton otherwise he would likely receive a penalty for going off the track. Ultimately, that meant Verstappen fell from second to fourth as he let through both Antonelli and Hamilton on lap four. However he wasn’t behind Hamilton for long as the Ferrari driver was forced to retire with a brake problem at the end of the seventh lap. By this point of the race, Norris had built a comfortable five-second lead at the front ahead of Antonelli, Verstappen, Leclerc and Russell. Lap fourteen of the race proved to be pivotal in deciding the outcome when Lance Stroll pulled over on the track to retire with a brake issue. That prompted a virtual safety car period however the VSC was declared just after Norris had driven beyond the pit-entry. Unluckily for the Brit, he would have to complete another lap before making a possible ‘cheap’ pit stop under VSC conditions, meanwhile Antonelli, Verstappen and Russell all came into the pit lane to change tyre’s. As Norris completed his lap and headed in to make his pit stop, the VSC period ended and when he came back onto the track he had fallen down to fifth. Out at the front, our new race leader was Leclerc who opted not to pit during the VSC as he was on hard tyre’s and wanted to go deeper into the Grand Prix before stopping. Behind the Ferrari came Antonelli, Verstappen and Russell in front of Norris. As the race continued to develop, it was becoming evident that some of the fears expressed pre-race that the new circuit provided very few overtaking opportunities were unfortunately accurate. It made for a race where drivers were stuck in their position’s, even when they were lapping faster than the car in front. On lap twenty-nine, Norris moved up a place as Russell made a second pit stop which freed the Brit to chase down Verstappen in third. Elsewhere on the circuit, Sergio Perez retired on lap thirty-three and he would be joined by Carlos Sainz later on in the race as they joined Hamilton and Stroll in not completing the Grand Prix. By lap forty, with seventeen laps remaining, Norris was right behind Verstappen but he couldn’t find a place to make an overtake. That was a battle which would continue right until the chequered flag, meanwhile Leclerc finally made his pit stop on lap forty-eight, which handed Antonelli the race lead. From then on it was a procession to the finish for the championship leader as he cruised to an eighth Grand Prix victory of the season. It was a quiet race for Antonelli but he will not mind that at all as he secured back-to-back race wins and further extended his lead at the top of the driver’s championship. Joining him on the podium would be Verstappen and Norris whose battle for position would’ve been very exciting to watch at a circuit where overtaking was more possible. Rounding out the points-scoring positions in Madrid were Leclerc, Russell, Liam Lawson, Franco Colapinto, Oscar Piastri, Arvid Lindblad and Nico Hulkenberg. Looking ahead, Formula 1 takes a week off before it departs Europe for the next run of races which kick off in Azerbaijan two weeks from now.
UNION BERLIN VS SCHALKE (FOOTBALL)
Having written about matches from the Premier League, Serie A and La Liga in the opening weeks of the new football season, this week I opted to cover a match from Germany’s top division, the Bundesliga. So far this season both Union Berlin and Schalke have taken one point from their opening two games which nicely set up their week three meeting. After beginning the campaign with a thrilling 3-3 draw against Eintrach Frankfurt, Union Berlin were thumped 4-0 by Bayer Leverkusen last weekend, marking a tough start for new manager Mauro Lustrinelli. They would now be looking to bounce back and pick up their first win in the league against newly-promoted Schalke. Similarly, Schalke also had a loss and a draw on their record from the opening two weekend’s action. However, their sole point looks much more impressive as it came against champions Bayern Munich in a hard-fought 0-0 draw. Following a turbulent few years in Gelsenkirchen, things are finally a bit more positive inside one of Europe’s traditionally biggest club’s after they sealed promotion back to the Bundesliga last season. Now their aim is to re-establish themselves amongst the elite teams in German football and a win at Union Berlin would be the ideal next step in that process. As the match got going, it was a tense start with the first real note-worthy opportunity to score coming in the twentieth minute when Adil Aouchiche’s strike from the edge of the penalty area was tipped over the crossbar by Union Berlin goalkeeper Frederick Ronnow. That was the first of a string of attacks from the away side which culminated with a goal from former Union Berlin wing back Robin Gosens. A cross from Soufiane El-Faouzi on the right hand side was flicked away by defender Leopold Querfeld but fell kindly for Gosens at the back post who directed an exceptional volley past Ronnow and into the far corner of the net via a clip off the post. It was a superb finish from the wing back who opted not to celebrate on his return to his former club. Later on in the first half, Schalke almost doubled their lead when Aouchiche was set away down the left hand side and he carried the ball into the penalty area and beat Ronnow with his shot but Tom Rothe got back excellently to clear the ball just before it crossed the goal line. As the referee brought the opening forty-five minutes to an end, Schalke held a deserved 1-0 advantage at the break. Following half time, Schalke made an immediate impact in the second half with a goal inside the first minute. It was a classy team move from the visitors as they won possession on the halfway line before Junior Dina Ebimbe played a lovely clipped pass forward. That was controlled by Aouchiche who played a quick one-two with Junior Adamu before firing a magnificent finish past Ronnow off the underside of the crossbar and into the back of the net. Initially the goal was disallowed because the linesman deemed that Aouchiche was offside although after a VAR review the goal was correctly awarded and Schalke celebrated increasing their lead. In the sixtieth minute, we had an unusual delay as the referee picked up an injury and had to be replaced by the fourth official which took around six minutes before the game resumed. After the match re-commenced, Union Berlin began to push forward more as they searched for a goal. In the seventy-fourth minute, Rothe forced Schalke goalkeeper Loris Karius into making a great save at his near post with a drilled shot along the floor. Whilst the majority of the match was being played inside Schalke’s half by this point, they still posed an attacking threat and that was evident when Aouchiche broke into the penalty area and laid the ball into the path of Adamu whose shot towards goal was well-saved by Ronnow. As we entered a lengthy period of stoppage time at the end of the match, Union Berlin managed to briefly halve their deficit as Querfeld’s ball into the penalty area was headed across the six yard box by Rothe and headed into the goal by Tim Skarke. However any hopes of a dramatic late comeback for Union Berlin were quickly quashed by Schalke. The away side put together an exceptional counter-attack in the thirteenth minute of stoppage time to score their third goal of the encounter. It came courtesy of substitute Maximilian Wober who calmly steered the ball into the bottom corner of the net from Hwang Hee-Chan’s cross. That sealed a brilliant 3-1 triumph for Schalke as they defeated Union Berlin away from home to record their first victory back in the Bundesliga. With four points from three games, it now looks like a positive start to the season for Miron Muslic’s team who host SV Eldersberg in their next fixture. In contrast, this was an disappointing loss for Union Berlin who remain winless in their first three league matches. Things don’t get any easier for them either as next week they will travel to Munich to face Bayern.
BUFFALO BILLS @ HOUSTON TEXANS (AMERICAN FOOTBALL)
NFL Sunday’s are back! American Football’s elite returned this weekend and just like last year, I will be writing about at least one match every week all the way through to the Super Bowl on the fourteenth of February. In week one we saw a huge game from two of the AFC’s potential Super Bowl contenders as the Buffalo Bills travelled to the Houston Texans. These are two teams who have never won a Super Bowl however they both head into the season full of optimism. After seven straight years of making the playoffs but never being able to reach the showpiece season finale, the Buffalo Bills fired head coach Sean McDermott in January. That prompted a re-shuffle as offensive coordinator Joe Brady was promoted to head coach and he appointed his replacement as well as a new defensive coordinator. In contrast, the Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans is entering his fourth season in charge. His team have made the playoffs in the last three season’s but just like the Bills have fallen short of reaching the Super Bowl. Last season the Texans had one of the NFL’s best defense’s so they will feel confident that if the offense can find some form in the new campaign, then they are certainly in contention to go deep into the playoffs. Being it back to this fixture, the Texans could take comfort from the fact that they have not lost to the Bills on home soil since 2006. As the teams’ latest meeting got underway, neither team was able to get on the scoreboard in their first possession of the ball. The first points of the game arrived on the Bills second possession as Tyler Bass converted a forty-six yard field goal to put the away side 3-0 up. Next, the Texans responded with a scoring play of their own as David Montgomery provided the game’s first touchdown. With Ka’imi Fairbairn adding the extra point, Houston were 7-3 ahead at the end of the first quarter. Moving into the second quarter and the Bills re-took the lead early on as quarterback Josh Allen couldn’t find a pass so instead ran over twenty yards and into the end zone for a touchdown. It was a classic example of ‘Josh Allen doing Josh Allen things’ as the 2024 MVP put his side 9-7 up, which then became 10-7 when Bass added the extra point. However the lead soon changed hands again when Montgomery rushed eighteen yards to score his second touchdown of the afternoon. The perfect day for kicker’s continued as Fairbairn converted the extra point. On the next possession, Allen led the Bills down the field and ended his drive being pushed into the end zone by his teammates to score. That, coupled with Bass’ extra point, put the Bills back into the lead and they then extended it when Allen found DJ Moore who carried the ball to the end zone to score a touchdown. It was the perfect start at his new team for wide receiver Moore as he scored on his debut. As you’ve probably guessed, Bass then successfully converted the extra point. In the closing seconds of a frantic first half, Texans quarterback CJ Stroud’s pass was caught in the end zone by Nico Collins to narrow the margin on the scoreboard. After Fairbairn had kicked the extra point through the goal posts, the first half concluded with the Bills holding a narrow 24-21 advantage. Following a high-scoring second quarter, there were just three points scored in the third and they were courtesy of a field goal from Bass to increase the Bills lead. As we started the fourth quarter, the Texans were in a strong position on offense and they produced a touchdown when Stroud combined with Montgomery for the running back’s third scoring play of the day. That put the score level at 27-27 which became 28-27 in favour of the home side when Fairbairn converted the extra point. On the next drive, the Texans defense were able to hold the Bills offense to just a field goal from Bass but that was still enough to see the Bills go two points up with ten minutes to go. Similarly, the Texans could only manage a field goal on their next possession as Fairbairn put them back into the lead by a point. With just over five minutes left on the clock, the ball was in the hands of Allen and the Bills were hoping he could produce some trademark fourth quarter magic. As we entered the last two minutes the Bills still had the ball as Allen prepared to receive the ball at third down and eleven. The quarterback spotted the run of wide receiver Josh Palmer down the field and found him with a thirty-four yard pass to score what proved to be the game-winning touchdown. It was a great play from the Bills who opted to go for a two-point attempt rather than kick the extra point. That attempt failed, leaving the, 36-31 up as the Texans got the ball back with 1:36 on the clock. As Stroud led the home side down the field, they reached 1st and goal although that soon become 3rd and goal as the clock ticked down. Ultimately the game was settled on that third down as Stroud fumbled the ball under pressure and it was recovered by the Bills defense to secure victory. It was a huge win for the Buffalo Bills as they triumphed away to the Texans for the first time in twenty years. Starting as they mean to go on, the Bills defeated their hosts 36-31 in a thrilling match to make a winning start to their season. Elsewhere in week one of the NFL, the San Francisco 49ers were victorious in the first intentional game of the year as they beat the Los Angeles Rams 27-7 in Australia. Meanwhile a notable story from Sunday’s games was the Chicago Bears kicking off their season by scoring a staggering fifty-nine points against the Carolina Panthers. The biggest upset of week one came in Los Angeles where the heavily-fancied Chargers were beaten 26-14 by the Arizona Cardinals.
