The NFL Preseason Football kicked off last night with the first 11 games, marking the start of the newest 2019-20 season. This season, the reigning champions, the New England Patriots, will defend the throne they won last year.

Most of the teams made some huge trades during the offseason period. These reinforcements took to the fields for their new teams, making some good impacts on the results.

People’s attention was focused on the Cleveland Browns and their much-improved roster this preseason. They added former Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Junior and their new starting quarterback Baker Mayfield, as well as former Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt.

The Browns won their first Preseason opener against the Redskins with a final score of 30-10. Mayfield threw 77 yards with only 1 miss (6/7 from the field) before being replaced with the rookie QB Garret Gilbert.

The champions New England Patriots kicked off their 2019-20 season with a huge win over the Lions, even playing without their star QB Tom Brady at Ford Field with a final result of 31-3.

Baltimore Ravens earned the biggest win in the first week by trashing the Jaguars 29-0, allowing the home side to only throw 65 yards and rush for only 68.

The Preseason continues this week with 5 more games.
