NFL SUMMARIES

SAINTS 38, PACKERS 3: In Jacksonville, Fla., Jameis Winston and the hurricane-displaced New Orleans Saints looked right at home in northeast Florida against Green Bay with a stunning victory — no doubt to the delight of fans rebuilding homes and lives back in New Orleans.

PANTHERS 19, JETS 14:

In Charlotte, N.C., Sam Darnold threw for 279 yards and a touchdown against his former team, leading Carolina past the New York Jets.

Darnold connected on a 57-yard touchdown pass with fellow ex-Jet Robby Anderson and took full advantage of a healthy Christian McCaffrey, who piled up 187 yards from scrimmage on 30 touches after missing 13 games last season with injuries. returned an interception for a touchdown to help San Francisco score 17 points over two-plus minutes late in the first half, and the Niners barely held on for a win over the Lions.

Niners quarterback Jimmmy Garoppolo, who lost a fumble on his first snap, was 17 of 25 for 314 yards. He threw a 79-yard touchdown pass to Samuel, who took advantage of cornerback Jeff Okudah falling. That gave the Niners a 28-point cushion midway through the third quarter.

CHARGERS 20, WASHINGTON 16: In Landover, Md., Justin Herbert threw for 337 yards and a touchdown in an ugly Week 1 matchup full of turnovers and big penalties.

Herbert led scoring drives of 75, 76 and 68 yards, and a go-ahead touchdown pass to Mike Williams made up for his fumble into the end zone and red zone interception on consecutive possessions. .
