The Indianapolis Colts Defense gave up 27 points in a Week 1 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Indianapolis Colts second-year wide receiver Parris Campbell had a productive start to the season, catching six passes for 71 yards. It is also encouraging that he had nine targets on the day.

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines found the end zone twice in his Week 1 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr had an efficient game against the Carolina Panthers. Carr threw for 239 yards and one touchdown, completing 73 percent of his throws.
