Allen Hurns is the first player in NFL history with two receiving touchdowns in the 1st quarter of his NFL debut. Only two other players in modern NFL history (since 1933) scored two touchdowns of any type in the 1st quarter of their debut, and one of those (Joe Dudek in 1987) was a replacement player. Charlie Garner of the 1994 Eagles is the other.

In 2013, the Bears had the worst rushing defense in the NFL for the first time in team history. Things didn't get much better Week 1 vs. Buffalo, as Chicago allowed 5.85 yards per rush (ranked 28th in league) and 193 rushing yards (30th in league). Sunday night, they play a 49ers team that rushed the ball on 52.5 percent of their offensive plays last season, more than any team in the NFL.

The Chiefs' defense allowed an average of 481.0 YPG in their two games vs. Denver in 2013. Peyton Manning passed for 300-plus yards in both games. Demaryius Thomas has had 100-plus receiving yards in each of his last three games against Kansas City.

Andrew Luck (Stanford) faced Chip Kelly (Oregon) three times from 2009-2011. Kelly's Oregon teams won two of the three games, while Stanford and Luck won in 2009. Luck's numbers were solid enough, with a comp. pct. of 63.6, 282.7 pass YPG, seven touchdowns and four interceptions. One trend to look for Sunday: the winning team in the Luck-Kelly matchup eclipsed 50 points in all three games.

Defensive backs from both teams may be salivating heading into this game. Eli Manning and Carson Palmer rank one and two in the NFL with the most multi-INT games since 2004. Manning has 47 multi-INT games, while Palmer has 43. Yet the one previous time that these QBs matched up, in Week 3 of 2008, neither QB threw an INT. The Giants beat the Bengals, 26-23, in overtime.

Rex Ryan has faced a Super Bowl winning QB 39 times as a head coach or defensive coordinator. He is 14-25 in those matchups, losing 11 of his last 13 games against QBs with a Lombardi Trophy.

Rex Ryan is 0-1 against Aaron Rodgers, who led the Packers to a 9-0 victory over the Jets Week 8, 2010. Despite that loss, Rex limited Rodgers to 15 of 34 for 170 yards and a passer rating of 59.7.

Kelvin Benjamin's five receptions of 10-plus yards were tied for the most in the NFL (with Calvin Johnson) during Week 1. Benjamin's 92 receiving yards were the most by a player making his Panthers debut since Muhsin Muhammad (96 yards) against the Saints in 1996.

Calvin Johnson has 64 rec TD since 2008, 11 more than any other player (Larry Fitzgerald, 53). His 87 receptions of 25-plus yards since entering NFL in 2007 is 12 more than any other player over that span (DeSean Jackson, 75). Johnson's 7,405 receiving yards since 2009 are 1,030 more than any other player (Andre Johnson, 2nd).

The winner of this game could be in sole possession of first place in the AFC East. The last time the Bills were in sole possession of first place in the AFC East was in 2011. The last time the Dolphins were in sole possession of first place in the AFC East was in 2010.

Since John Harbaugh took over as Baltimore's head coach in 2008, Ben Roethlisberger has struggled completing deep passes against the Ravens. Big Ben is just 6 for 27 with 1 TD and 1 INT on passes of 20-plus yards downfield.

Eight-time Pro Bowl selection Troy Polamalu has never intercepted a pass against the Ravens in 18 regular season games. Polamalu did return an interception 40 yards for a touchdown in the 2008 AFC Championship Game. That is his only interception vs. Baltimore in 20 games (18 regular season and 2 postseason games).

The Patriots are in last place in the AFC East for first time since Tom Brady took over as the starter in 2001. The last time New England was in sole possession of last place? The end of the 2000 season, which was Bill Belichick's first season as the Patriots' coach. In Week 1, Tom Brady completed just 51.8 percent of his passes, the worst percentage among all Week 1 starting QBs.
