Week 1 of the NFL season featured the usual drama and excitement fans have come to expect.

It started with a contentious Philadelphia Eagles-Dallas Cowboys game on Thursday night that featured the ejection of Philadelphia defender Jalen Carter before he even got a chance to play. Then, on Sunday night, the Buffalo Bills staged a comeback of the ages against the Baltimore Ravens. And on Monday night, Peyton Manning stole the show with an unusual and entertaining anecdote on “ManningCast.”

All of that will be in this week’s quiz, but we’ve left plenty of room for other sports as well, including a cautionary tale for any pitcher tasked with facing the New York Yankees.

We hope you enjoy the game this week, and make sure you check out our daily Connections: Sports Edition, too!
