The Indianapolis Colts home opener had their 2011 home opener against the 0-1 Cleveland Browns.  The first quarter saw both teams getting into offensive and defensive rhythms and ended with the Colts holding only a 3-0 lead on an Adam Vinatieri field goal.  Heading to the second quarter, the Colts offense began to pick up behind Kerry Collins, rookie Delone Carter, and Joseph Addai.  However much of the success faded once Indianapolis reached the red zone, and were only able to come away with two field goals during the quarter.  Cleveland, however, was able to capitalize on the Colts defense, and saw a touchdown pass from Colt McCoy and a touchdown run from Peyton Hillis.  Cleveland went into halftime with a 14-9 lead.  The Indianapolis defense was able to stop Cleveland for most of the third quarter, and allowed the struggling offensive to close the gap with a fourth Vinatieri field goal, with Cleveland still holding a 14-12 lead into the fourth quarter.  Cleveland quickly drove down the field and started the quarter with a Phil Dawson field goal, allowing the Colts to remain in contention for the victory.  However, after turnovers and an inability to produce on offense, Cleveland broke the game open with a Hillis touchdown run, along with another Dawson field goal with 2:59 remaining in the game.  With Cleveland holding a 27-12 lead, Indianapolis was able to score their first touchdown of the game, allowing them to try an onside kick to preserve any chance of a comeback, which they were not able to convert.  Cleveland finished the game and the Colts by winning 27-19, their first victory over the Colts since 1994, and the Colts first 0-2 start since the 1998 season.

San Diego led 24-14 in the third quarter before the New Orleans Saints rallied for a 31-24 victory. The Chargers' Melvin Ingram was called for roughing the passer, nullifying a Drew Brees interception returned for a touchdown that would have put the Chargers ahead 31-14. Rivers had two costly turnovers in the fourth quarter: an interception that led to a Saints field goal and a fumble as San Diego was driving to tie the score in the game's last minute. With the loss, San Diego missed an opportunity to take a two-game lead over the Denver Broncos for the AFC West. The Chargers dropped to 3-2 while the Saints would get their first win of the season and improve to 1-4.

The Giants opened up their 2007 campaign with a 45-35 loss to the Dallas Cowboys at Texas Stadium.  For the second straight year, the Giants left Dallas with injuries to key starters including DE Osi Umenyiora, RB Brandon Jacobs, and QB Eli Manning.  Before suffering a separated shoulder in the fourth quarter, Manning put on a stellar performance, completing 28 of 41 passes, for 312 yards, 4 touchdowns and just 1 interception.  However, a horrid defensive performance overshadowed Eli's play. The Giants got off to a fast start as Eli hit Plaxico Burress on a 60-yard touchdown pass off play action to open up the scoring.  Burress and Manning would connect for 3 touchdowns on the night.  After a Dallas took a 17-6 lead late in the half, Eli led the Giants on another  drive, capped off to his second strike to Burress.  Burress on the night caught 9 passes for 144 receiving yards.  The Giants closed to within one at half's end following a Lawrence Tynes field goal after a Dallas fumble. Romo hit Terrell Owens on a 22-yard pass to give Dallas an 8-point lead.  After the Giants cut the lead to five on another Tynes field goal, Dallas increased the margin to 12 as Romo capped off a quick four play drive with a 9-yard rush.  The Cowboys appeared to put the game away with yet another Romo touchdown, once again finding Terrell Owens on a wide open catch and run, upping margin to 38-22.  Eli and the Giants responded with two straight scoring drives.  One finished with a dumpoff touchdown pass from Manning to reserve running back Derrick Ward and the other with Burress' 3rd touchdown, cutting the Dallas lead to three. On a crucial 3rd and seven late in the game, Romo hit backup wideout Sam Hurd for a 51-yard touchdown.  With Manning injuring his shoulder, backup Jared Lorenzen finished the game for the Giants at quarterback late in the fourth quarter. Amani Toomer in his return from a  knee injury, notched 9 catches for 91 yards while Burress gained 144.  Justin Tuck and Gibril Wilson recorded the Giants' only sack and interception of the night respectively in the 45-35 loss as the Giants began the season at 0-1. It would be the only road loss for the Giants in the season.
