Eagles in the NFL: Week 1
The NFL season is officially under way and numerous Boston College players around the league saw action. Here is how they did in their opening week of play.
Matt Ryan
Ryan did everything he could to get the win for the Falcons, throwing for 450 yards and two touchdowns. Unfortunately Atlanta's defense looked completely overwhelmed, allowing 38 points and four touchdowns to Russell Wilson. Could be another long season for Ryan and the Falcons.
Chris Lindstrom
Returning after a season ending injury derailed his rookie year, Lindstrom started the season opener at guard. He threw a key block on Todd Gurley's touchdown run.
AJ Dillon
The rookie made his NFL debut with two rushes for 14 yards. The third back on the depth chart, behind Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams.
Will Harris
Starting safety for the Detroit Lions, Harris finished the game with five tackles, good for third on the team.
John Johnson
Four tackles for the starting safety against the Dallas Cowboys.
Zach Allen
In his second year he landed his first career sack against Jimmy Garoppollo. Finished the game with two tackles.

Anthony Castonzo
Started at left tackle for the Colts who lost to the Jaguars in their season opener.
