NFL Week 1 Recap: 7 Things We Learned On Sunday

The first NFL Sunday of 2016 (Sept. 11) came and went, but not without its fair share of excitement. Eleven games were decided by less than a touchdown, making for numerous fantastic finishes throughout the day.

In a league built on parity, one game could determine whether or not your team reaches the post-season, that is why every game means so much in the NFL. Because the season is not defined by September play, however, it doesn't mean you should be panicking after game one.

Peep the seven things (above) we learned on the first Sunday of the National Football League.

We know where you'll be... All. Day. Long. 🏈 #Kickoff2016
