The U.S. Open remains without an American men's champion for yet another year, with anticipation already building for next season. As the NFL's Week 1 wraps up, several players made headlines with their debut performances.

Caleb Williams, the highly touted No. 1 pick, experienced a rocky start with the Chicago Bears despite a win over the Tennessee Titans. His first outing saw minimal offensive impact, but historical context suggests it's too early for concern.

Cooper Kupp shined for the Los Angeles Rams in a narrow loss to the Detroit Lions. With many injuries on the team, Kupp's role became crucial, delivering an impressive performance as Stafford's go-to target.

The New England Patriots, considered underdogs this season, achieved an upset win against the Cincinnati Bengals, largely due to their formidable defense, which stifled Bengals' star quarterback Joe Burrow.

In stark contrast, Daniel Jones of the New York Giants struggled in his season debut, leading to discussions about benching him after a heavy loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Lastly, Alontae Taylor made a significant impact for the New Orleans Saints, setting records for sacks in a game by a defensive back amid a commanding victory over the Carolina Panthers.
