Week 1 of the NFL regular season concludes at Soldier Field as the Chicago Bears host the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football!

The first week of the season certainly didn’t disappoint. The Los Angeles Chargers made a strong statement with a 27-21 Friday night win over the Kansas City Chiefs; Aaron Rodgers threw for four touchdowns in his Steelers debut as Pittsburgh edged out the New York Jets; and the Buffalo Bills came back from a 15-point deficit in the final four minutes to defeat the Baltimore Ravens in an instant classic on Sunday Night Football.
