Let's flash back to Sept. 10. What would you have considered the least likely sentence you'd read after Week 1 of the NFL season?

Would it be something like: Kiko Alonso was the best run-stopping linebacker in the entire league?

Well according to Pro Football Focus, Kiko Alonso was the best run-stopping linebacker in the entire league in Week 1.

Alonso, who struggled with the Eagles last season and always seemed to be either out of position or gobbled up by bigger offensive linemen, graded out as plus-3.0 against the run in PFF's rankings. The next-closest linebacker was plus-2.3. Alonso played in 82 snaps in his Dolphins debut and registered 11 tackles, more than he had in any game with the Eagles in 2015.

Hey, he had a good first week last season, too.

Some other notable PFF grades from Week 1:

• Carson Wentz had the third-highest grade among QBs, behind only Andrew Luck and Derek Carr.

• Jordan Hicks had the highest coverage grade of any inside linebacker. He was targeted twice, allowed one catch for two yards and deflected the other pass, which ended up being intercepted by safety Rodney McLeod.

• LG Allen Barbre had the fifth-highest mark among guards.

• Center Jason Kelce had the second-worst mark of all starting centers at minus-4.5, struggling specifically in the running game.

• Brandon Graham was credited with three QB hurries. Only three defensive ends in the league — Michael Bennett, Cameron Wake and Robert Ayers — had more in Week 1.

• Safety Malcolm Jenkins had a negative grade, something that happened only once last season, against Tampa Bay.
