Offensive spotlight: Rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud and Texans offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik put on a clinic. Stroud went 16-for-21 for 277 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions. All three of his touchdowns came off play action, with two of them coming on big plays to tight ends Brevin Jordan and Dalton Schultz.

Defensive spotlight: Chiefs interior defensive lineman Chris Jones recorded a hit and two hurries against the Dolphins, but he produced another six pass-rush wins that would have resulted in pressure had Tua Tagovailoa not gotten the ball out before Jones could get there.

Rookie spotlight: The Packers receivers are predominantly made up of young players, so it wasn’t a surprise to see several rookie pass catchers making plays in this game. Wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks and tight ends Tucker Kraft and Luke Musgrave each had multiple receptions. Perhaps the only surprising thing was that Jayden Reed had zero catches from three targets.

Offensive spotlight: Jared Goff and Matthew Stafford went blow for blow in the early going. Both are on track to earn 70.0-plus game grades, pending reviews. Goff finished with a 91.7% adjusted completion percentage — accounting for drops, batted passes, spikes and throwaways. There have been only 11 postseason games of a quarterback going above 90.0% in the PFF era, and Goff, pending final reviews, is on track to own two of them.

Defensive spotlight: Tackling was an issue for the Steelers, the primary reason for two of the Bills' touchdowns. Allen on his long scramble for a score juked a defender after his initial burst downfield, and safety Minkah Fitzpatrick was shrugged off by Shakir on the receiver's fourth-quarter touchdown.

Rookie spotlight: Buccaneers interior defender Calijah Kancey is on track to earn the highest game grade of his young career after tallying three stops and three quarterback pressures, pending reviews. The Eagles' Jalen Carter and Nolan Smith notched a pressure each, and Smith added one stop in run defense.
