Observations from all 32 clubs after Week 1 exhibition action
The 2025 NFL preseason's first full week of action was remarkably thrilling despite the end result not being the focus. Comp-Pass Attempts 2-6 (33.3%) 15-23 (65.2%) Pass Yards 1 142 TD-INT 0-0 1-1 Passer Rating 42.4 78.5
Development and back of the roster depth are the focus, but plenty of memorable things still went down. Rookie quarterbacks like Shedeur Sanders and Jaxson Dart shined. Philadelphia Eagles backup quarterback Tanner McKee rapidly raised his stock, and Dallas Cowboys All-Pro wide receiver CeeDee Lamb absorbed one of the hardest hits of the week despite not suiting up against the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday.
Overreactions for preseason openers are both unreasonable and unavoidable. With that in mind, let's take a closer look at how all 32 NFL teams' Week 1 preseason games unfolded, plus highlighting the noteworthy plays and players as we spotlight the good, bad and ugly in the opening week of the 2025 preseason.
