Jayden Daniels, Dan Quinn and the rest of the Washington Commanders know full well what to expect from Micah Parsons when they face the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night.

Daniels, having played in Parsons' division, knows he must identify the pass rusher every snap.

"You don't let game-wreckers wreck the game," Daniels said on Tuesday. "You've got to keep an eye on him. He got paid a lot of money for a reason."

Quinn, who coached the pass rusher when he was the Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator, took to humor when asked about combating a player like Parsons.

"Are you asking what would I do if I were coaching him? I'd sit him this week. Yeah, short week," he said, laughing.

Nursing a back injury and just joining his new club, Parsons played 29 snaps in his Packers debut Week 1 versus Detroit (44.6 percent of snaps). Despite his play being curtailed, the Pro Bowler still earned a sack and three QB pressures (per Next Gen Stats, he recorded a QBP on his first snap with the Packers).

Parsons lined up off the left edge on 22 of his 29 snaps in Week 1 (versus RT Penei Sewell). We'll see if that holds against Washington, where rookie Josh Conerly Jr. mans the right side, or whether the Packers move him around more.

Week 1 kept us on our toes, that's for sure.

It began with the bizarre Jalen Carter incident prior to the first snap from scrimmage in the Kickoff Game, which the defending champion Eagles ultimately won -- barely -- over the Micah Parsons-less Cowboys. Speaking of Parsons, he helped the Packers thump the Lions in statement fashion. In a week of mostly close games, that one stood out -- but perhaps not as much, in a negative way, as the Dolphins getting smooshed in Indy.

Steelers-Jets totaled 66 points. Texans-Rams only got to 23. Defenses seemed to be ahead of the offenses in most games. Most, but not all.

The marquee event of the weekend lived up to its billing, with the Bills nipping the Ravens, 41-40, in an instant classic. Josh Allen vs. Lamar Jackson was about as good as it gets, Week 1 or otherwise.

Monday night wasn't as visually appealing, but J.J. McCarthy’s fourth-quarter comeback in his hometown could be the stuff of legend one day. (Related: Yikes, Bears!)

There's a lot to process from the NFL's opening week. Let's do our best to re-sort the order.

A rub route gone wrong took the sails out of the Chiefs offense three plays into their season opener.

Tight end Travis Kelce, who played a part in the mishap by colliding with Xavier Worthy instead of slowing a Chargers defender, shared his remorse Wednesday for causing his teammate's dislocated shoulder and discussed how it took him time to ramp back up in the aftermath.

"I'll take the most accountability myself," Kelce said on his New Heights podcast. "I wasn't ready that first drive, I ran into one of my guys and offed him out of the game. I literally took one of my players out. That's one of the most frustrating parts and it's hard to get your juices back going knowing you just hurt a guy. It's a frustrating way to start off the season, a frustrating way to start off the game."

Of his own route, Kelce added: "I'm supposed to be running my route at depth for Worthy. So, it's frustrating for me. I was trying to kind of set up my guy to be able to get into position, and it all just happened pretty quick. I just gotta be better, man. I'm 13 years in the league. There is no excuse for me running into my own guys like that."
