 The new NFL season is officially underway, and it's already supplying plenty of drama both on and off the field. In the biggest headline from opening week, the Dallas Cowboys made a blockbuster move by trading star edge rusher Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers just before the season kicked off. According to ESPN, this has opened a loaded debate about the Cowboys' outlook for 2025—insiders say the offense will rely heavily on Dak Prescott staying healthy and wide receiver George Pickens unlocking a more explosive passing game. Questions remain about the team's running game, which many call uninspiring, though a solid offensive line could make up for it. The money saved from the Parsons trade is expected to go toward locking down elite guard Tyler Smith, a key piece to the offense.

There's also plenty of early intrigue around standouts like Trent McDuffie of the Chiefs, whose extension talks have hit a snag despite league-wide consensus that he's a top-five NFL cornerback. Meanwhile, players such as Courtland Sutton in Denver and Jakobi Meyers in Las Vegas are both working on deals to secure their futures with their respective teams, with plenty of eyes on Meyers after he asked for a trade but remains the Raiders’ de facto number one receiver.

Turning to quarterback storylines, Anthony Richardson and the Colts have provided high drama already. Following Richardson's loss of the starting job to Daniel Jones, his agent and the team's front office had what both sides call "constructive" talks to clarify his future. While a trade wasn't requested, the possibility was reportedly discussed. The Colts maintain full public faith in Richardson and insist he's part of the team's long-term plans.

On the field, the NFL showcased its new look with innovative rule changes for 2025. As reported by Live Now Fox and the Associated Press, kickoffs feature a permanent new alignment with more chances for returns and fewer injuries. Virtual ball spotting is in: a new Hawk-Eye optical system now measures first downs for greater accuracy and speed. The controversial "tush push" QB sneak remains legal, and the NFL has expanded penalties for unsportsmanlike signals, now including even subtle gestures like the "nose wipe" which officials say is gang-affiliated.

Week 1 opened with a bang in Brazil: the Los Angeles Chargers snapped a seven-game losing streak to the Kansas City Chiefs, winning 27-21 in São Paulo in front of Brazilian soccer icon Neymar. Quarterback Justin Herbert threw for 318 yards and three touchdowns, delivering one of the franchise's most memorable openers, according to coach Jim Harbaugh. On the Kansas City side, superstar Patrick Mahomes was kept mostly in check, though he still managed to lead a late field-goal drive just before halftime. Up next for the Chiefs is a headline Super Bowl rematch against the Eagles.

Across the league, there are several can't-miss matchups and potential breakout stars. Fantasy football managers are watching players like Dolphins tight end Tyler Warren, a rookie expected to benefit from Miami’s weakened defense against tight ends. NFL.com predicts receivers like Malik Nabers could tie the single-game receptions record—a feat not seen since 2009—as he debuts with new quarterback Russell Wilson in what is expected to be a shootout against Washington.

Casual fans should know: the kickoff, the virtual first down spotting, and the focus on safety are the most noticeable new features this season. For die-hards, the major trades, contract extensions, and the ongoing quarterback shakeups are already shaping storylines to watch.

Lastly, outside the action but never out of the conversation, Colin Kaepernick remains in the news. According to the Times of India, the United Football League has publicly invited the former 49ers quarterback, who famously protested social injustice by kneeling during the national anthem, to make a comeback after nearly nine years away from the NFL.
