Week 1 Recap with Alex Bleuel


Week 1 Recap with Alex Bleuel


In this episode, Alex Bleuel and I review Week 1 of the 2022 NFL season. First, we head to Cincinnati, where the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals played another AFC North showdown. Despite Joe Burrow's five-interception game, a late touchdown to Ja'Marr Chase gave tied the game before a potential game-winning extra point attempt. Unfortunately for the Benla,s a blocked Evan McPherson extra point sent this game into overtime. After two more missed field goals, Crhis Boswell ended this game with a 53-yard field goal in overtime. Late in this game, Steelers star pass-rusher T.J. Watt tore his pec. Onto Houston, where the Colts and Texans played to a 20-20 tie. Despite Jonathan Taylor and Michael Pittman Jr.'s strong afternoons, a Rodrigo Blankenship missed field goal kept Houston alive. We try and answer why the Colts cannot win a season-opener and whether Lovie smith should have been more aggressive late in overtime. We then look back at two more impressive displays. Alex was impresses with Justin Jefferson in a strong win over the Green Bay Packers. I loved the New York Giants beating the Tennessee Titans in Nashville. Patrick Mahomes showed his all-around brillance and Justin Fields handled a tough 49ers defense and Chicago's rain. We then finish this episode by talking about Alex's head-to-head DraftKings win over me this weekend by five points. Despite Alex's win, I explain how Week 1 was a very good DFS week for The Big D.
