The Raiders will play the Ravens Week 2.

Making his first start in the NFL on Sunday, Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston played like he was making his first start in the NFL.

Winston completed 16 of 33 passes for 210 yards and two touchdowns. He was also intercepted twice.

A 5-yard scoring strike to Austin Seferian-Jenkins cut the deficit to 21-7 just six seconds into the second quarter. The second - a 41-yard strike to Seferian-Jenkins - was in garbage time.

Winston will seek a more consistent performance in Week 2 at New Orleans.

Titans rookie quarterback and second overall pick Marcus Mariota had something to prove when his team squared off Sunday against Tampa Bay and top selection Jameis Winston.

The first battle between the two was won handily by Mariota, who fired four touchdown passes in the first half in a rout of the Buccaneers. He had more scores than incompletions as he hit on 13 of 16 for 209 yards.

Mariota was on fire in the first 30 minutes. He hit Kendall Wright for a 52-yard touchdown less than two minutes into the game, then followed with scoring strikes to Bishop Sankey, Harry Douglas and Delanie Walker before the second quarter ended.

He will try to keep up the good work at Cleveland in Week 2.

Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton started the season off on a high note with an impressive performance Week 1 against the Raiders.

Wilson didn't play a perfect game, he was intercepted in the first quarter and sacked three times.

Seattle and Wilson will travel to Green Bay for a rematch of last season's NFC Championship game during Week 2.

The Packers entered Week 1 against the Bears with a banged up receiving corps, but that didn't seem to bother quarterback Aaron Rodgers in a 31-23 victory. With Jordy Nelson (knee) out for the season and Randall Cobb (shoulder) at less than 100 percent, Rodgers tossed for three touchdowns in the season-opening win.

Rodgers' first touchdown pass came with 43 seconds left in the first quarter, as he connected with James Jones for the first of two touchdowns to the veteran receiver. Jones' 13-yard touchdown catch gave Green Bay a 7-3 lead.

Rodgers found Jones, who was signed last week after the Giants released him, again early in the third quarter for a 1-yard touchdown to put Green Bay ahead 17-13. Rodgers' final touchdown went to Randall Cobb with 10:26 left in the fourth quarter, giving Green Bay a 24-16 lead.

Rodgers completed 18 of 23 passes for 189 yards. He added another 35 yards on the ground.
