The Miami Dolphins scored 13 unanswered second-half points to complete a 20-17 comeback victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars in their opening match of the new NFL season.
Dolphins star Tyreek Hill dominated the headlines before the match after he was briefly detained by police for a traffic incident while on the way to Hard Rock Stadium but, after being released, he then stole the headlines on the field.
Brian Thomas and Travis Etienne Jr scored touchdowns to give the Jaguars an early lead but the Dolphins responded through De’Von Achane.
Hill then took centre stage. Miami quarterback Tua Tagovailoa found his wide receiver and he charged away for an 80-yard touchdown to cap off a fine performance, catching for 130 yards.
The Minnesota Vikings scored five touchdowns as they blew away the New York Giants 28-6 at the MetLife Stadium.
Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold was the star, threw 19 of 24 for 208 yards on his way to securing a romping win for the visitors.
The Atlanta Falcons scored the only touchdown of their encounter with the Pittsburgh Steelers but it was not enough to secure the win as they were beaten 18-10.
Kirk Cousins threw to Kyle Pitts for the only touchdown of the contest to give the Falcons a half-time lead in a closely-fought first period.
