Floyd Little's all-around offensive effort enabled Denver to open on a winning note. Little carried 18 times for 82 yards, returned 4 punts and a kickoff, and carried eight times in a row in a late sequence, moving the ball from his own 43 to the Buffalo 3. O. J. Simpson was the bright spot in the Buffalo setback with 18 carries, 3 receptions and a rushing TD which gave the Bills an early lead.

Cincinnati upset Oakland with an all-round attack sparked by Jess Phillips' rushing in the regular season opener in the new Bengals' stadium. Phillips registered 130 yards on 15 carries, and one of these was a 76-yard dash up the middle. Sam Wyche passed for a TD to Essex Johnson and ran for another. Daryle Lamonica's 265-yard aerial barrage included a pair of TD passes to Fred Biletnikoff for the Raiders. Cincinnati had been the only team to beat Oakland in regular season competition the previous year.

This rematch of the Super Bowl IV rivals saw the Vikings apply defensive pressure on the Chiefs that resulted in two interceptions and a pair of fumble recoveries, including Jim Marshall's pickup of a Len Dawson bobble and the Viking defensive end's lateral to linebacker Roy Winston who scored Minnesota's first touchdown. Gary Cuozzo directed the Minnesota attack, and place-kicker Fred Cox set a NFL record of kicking field goals in 20 consecutive games, with two successful three-pointers.

Charley Johnson's first Oilers' start was a winning one as his TD passes to Jerry LeVias provided the Oilers with a 14-0 edge at the half. Terry Bradshaw, the NFL's No. 1 draft pick, gave way to Terry Hanratty midway in the game and Hanratty put the Steelers on the scoreboard with a TD pass to rookie Ron Shanklin.
