Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season delivered two of the more memorable prime time games in recent history, as Josh Allen led a furious Buffalo Bills comeback win over Lamar Jackson’s Baltimore Ravens, and J.J. McCarthy announced his presence to the world with a comeback victory of his own, powering the Minnesota Vikings past Caleb Williams’ Chicago Bears.

Following Buffalo’s 41-40 victory over the Ravens, the Bills’ biggest questions become whether this is the team to beat in the AFC and if there is a team built to take down Allen and a loaded roster with playmakers on both sides of the football.

NFL reporters Matt Lombardo and Mike Tanier dive into the biggest Week 1 storylines, including the Giants’ Jaxson Dart dilemma, how seriously to take the Vikings, and much more. Plus, NFL legend Lorenzo Alexander gives his thoughts on Josh Allen and how Sean McDermott and Buffalo can break through in 2025.
