Here are some important -- and interesting -- takeaways from the first week of NFL action, including some gaudy numbers from A.J. Green.

We waited a long time for the start of the 2016 season, and when Week 1 finally rolled around, we certainly weren’t left without action.

There were six games decided by less than three points, and one other contest that went to overtime.
