The Lions escaped New Orleans with a win, but it wasn’t pretty. Now, let’s break down the PFF grades to see who stepped up, who struggled and who made the biggest impact.

Pittsburgh Steelers fans were vindicated after PFF released their grades for Week 1.

The Detroit Lions survived overtime against the New Orleans Saints to open the season with a 31-30 victory at Ford Field on Sunday. The game went down to a missed two-point conversion by the Saints that kept them from completing a 21-point comeback.

Pro Football Focus tried to explain why Caleb Williams’ dominant-looking Week 1 performance did not produce a dominant grade. For some Chicago Bears fans, the explanation only created another argument.

There are some strengths for New Orleans, but got to get better in others.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey was ELITE against the Cardinals and finished Week 1 with the top grade on the team.

The Atlanta Falcons are 0-1 after losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers over the weekend. The game was closer than the final score indicated, but the Falcons' sloppy play on offense kept them from pulling off a Week 1 upset.
