Andrew Luck proved he could play a full game while also taking hits in the Colts' loss to Cincinnati on Sunday. Luck (shoulder) threw for 319 yards with two touchdowns and an interception in his first game since Jan. 1, 2017. "His accuracy was good," coach Frank Reich said. "I thought he was really poised. I mean it was fun just seeing him for four quarters on the sideline. Seeing what they were doing. Adjusting." -- Mike Wells

Running back Leonard Fournette left the game in the first half because of a right-ankle injury, but coach Doug Marrone said he's optimistic about Fournette's prognosis. Fournette has dealt with this before and said he knows how to manage it. Still, it's hard to see him being full strength for Sunday's game against New England, so T.J. Yeldon and Corey Grant could have to carry the Jaguars' ground game. The Jaguars also have Brandon Wilds on the practice squad to promote if Fournette is unable to go against the Patriots. -- Mike DiRocco

Marcus Mariota was taken out of the game after being hit by Dolphins defensive end William Hayes. The hit caused Mariota to lose feeling in his hand but he said he was fine after the game. He had accuracy issues on a few throws before he was injured, missing Corey Davis and Delanie Walker for would-be touchdowns on the same drive in the first quarter. His two interceptions came after he was hit by Hayes, overthrowing wide receiver Tajae Sharpe and missing running back Dion Lewis on a screen. -- Turron Davenport

AFC WEST

Of all of the things the Broncos wanted to leave behind after a 5-11 finish, the biggest might be an inability to respond to adversity. When the 2017 Broncos got down, they usually stayed down. Sunday, they trailed the Seahawks by four points early in the fourth quarter, but Case Keenum led a seven-play, 75-yard touchdown drive on the Broncos' next possession -- he was 4-of-4 passing on the march -- and they closed the deal from there. As wide receiver Demaryius Thomas said: "That's how you want to bounce back. This team can do that." -- Jeff Legwold

The Chiefs might be able to consistently score enough points to cover for their shaky defense. If they can put up 38 points on the road against a good defensive opponent in Patrick Mahomes' second career start, they should be able to win any scoring war they get into down the line. -- Adam Teicher

A point of emphasis during the offseason, special teams, remains an issue. Special-teams mistakes led to 14 points for the Chiefs. Tyreek Hill put the first points on the board with a 91-yard punt return for a score in the opening quarter, and with the Chargers in contention late, undrafted rookie J.J. Jones fumbled a punt, which James Winchester recovered at the Chargers' 2-yard line. New kicker Caleb Sturgis also missed a 48-yard field goal wide left. "That's something that we emphasized and we worked on," Chargers coach Anthony Lynn said. "We knew Tyreek was going to be back there. He was back there last year and I don't think he got 10 yards, but we just didn't execute today." -- Eric D. Williams

After an inspiring, ball-controlling first half, the Raiders simply ran out of gas in Monday night's season opener, falling to the Rams 33-13 after leading, 13-10, at the half. The Raiders have a short week to get their offense back in gear and, less than a week after dealing with Aaron Donald and Ndamukong Suh, have the unenviable task of facing Von Miller and the Broncos in Denver. This was a deflating loss for Oakland, no doubt, and if the Raiders allow it to bleed over the rest of the week, they will be in serious trouble in Denver. -- Paul Gutierrez

NFC EAST

Dating back to last season, the Cowboys have not scored more than 20 points in their past four contests, and Dak Prescott has not thrown for 200 yards in seven of his past nine games. The last time they scored more than 20 came against the next week's foe, the Giants, in Week 14 of 2017, but 20 of their 30 points came in the fourth quarter. In Prescott's four career starts against New York, the Cowboys have scored 75 points (18.8 points per game). -- Todd Archer

The Giants scored one touchdown, a 68-yard run by Saquon Barkley in the fourth quarter. It wasn't enough, but they maintained that they're close. Wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. was optimistic because they had chances against the Jaguars. They were "right there," and could've scored three additional TDs. Beckham (11 catches for 111 yards) and Barkley showed their playmaking ability, and there's time for the unit to mature under coach Pat Shurmur. New York will continue its growth against Dallas on Sunday night. -- Jordan Raanan
