Aside from shredding the Buccaneers' defense with his arm, Marcus Mariota also showed his wheels recording the two fastest speeds by a quarterback in Week 1 - 21.41 mph and 20.35 mph, both during the second quarter.

Clay Matthews showed great closing speed to catch Matt Forte and save a touchdown in the second quarter. Coming from the left side of the defense, Matthews traveled all the way across the field to tackle Forte near the opposite sideline. He reached a top speed of 20.03 mph.

On his game-winning punt return for a TD in the 4th quarter, Jarvis Landry put on the afterburners to reach the end zone. After fielding the punt at his own 32, Landry reached 18.43 mph charging right through the middle of the field. He then slowed down to 15.32 mph to juke punter Tress Way before steadily motoring back up to a top speed of 19.82 mph while outpacing two Washington special teamers to the goal line.

San Francisco 49ers running back Carlos Hyde, Chicago Bears running back Matt Forte, and New York Jets running back Chris Ivory took the ball the furthest, carrying for 645 yards, 569 yards, and 485 yards, respectively.

Travis Kelce had a career day facing the Houston Texans in Week 1 and much of that seemed to have to do with Houston's defensive strategy: let him get to the secondary freely. On five of Kelce's six receptions, Houston had at least one extra defensive back on the field. Houston never chipped Kelce with a linebacker as he began his routes, allowing the tight end to find plenty of space on the field. The closest linebacker at the point of the catch on each of his six receptions was 8.5, 9.0, 10.6, 11.1, 10.4 and 4.0 yards.

On his 10-yard touchdown run, Carlos Hyde made an impressive display of burst by climbing from 3.5 mph on his spin move (and a complete change of direction) to a top speed of 18.9 mph as he headed completely across the field for the left pylon. Hyde covered 47 yards on the entire play to gain 10.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Brandin Cooks traveled the furthest in Week 1, running 1,639 yards from the line of scrimmage. Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown and Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Davon House followed with 1,581 yards and 1,567 yards, respectively.

Tyrann Mathieu's come-from-behind tackle on Willie Snead's 63-yard reception earns him serious hustle points. Mathieu went from basically a standstill position as Snead caught the ball in stride 22.75 yards away to a top speed of 21.25 mph as he closed in on Snead. To compare, Snead's top speed was just 19.0 mph.

The fastest ball carriers during Week 1 all topped 20 mph during individual plays: Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (22.05 mph), Cleveland Browns wide receiver Travis Benjamin (21.74 mph), and Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey (21.43 mph).

Despite Dallas' reputation as the best offensive line in football, Joseph Randle had very little room to get going against the New York Giants. With only one attempt longer than 7 yards, Randle couldn't hit his top speeds. He topped 16 mph on just 6 of his 16 carries.
