49ers

Losing for the first time in eight NFL starts, Jimmy Garoppolo became the first 49ers QB to throw three picks in an opener since Steve Young in 1993.

Bears

Khalil Mack makes his Soldier Field debut with the Bears. He had a strip-sack and a 27yard pick-six last week against the Packers.

Buccaneers

Ryan Fitzpatric­k threw for a careerhigh 417 yards with four touchdowns in an upset of the Saints. He also scored his first rushing TD since 2015.

Cardinals

Larry Fitzgerald has more catches against the Rams (176) than any wide receiver has had against a single team in NFL history.

Cowboys

Dak Prescott has thrown for more than 200 yards in only two of his last nine games, but one of those was a career-high 332-yard effort vs. the Giants.

Eagles

Nick Foles is 2-0 as a starter against the Bucs, with 677 passing yards, five touchdowns and no intercepti­ons. He hasn’t lost a road game since 2015.

Falcons

The Falcons have won four of their last five against the Panthers, with Matt Ryan throwing for 10 touchdowns and two intercepti­ons.

Davante Adams has scored the last four times he has faced the Vikings. He caught a 12-yard touchdown pass last week against the Bears.

Panthers

Cam Newton has rushed for 50 yards or more in six straight games after picking up 58 yards, plus a touchdown, against the Cowboys.

They will face Sam Bradford — whom they selected with the No. 1 pick in 2010 — on Sunday for the first time since trading him after the 2014 season.

Redskins

Running backs Adrian Peterson and Chris Thompson led the Redskins with 166 and 128 yards against the Cardinals last week.
