Today, we assess the winners and losers of the NFL preseason’s first week. Technically, this is Detroit's second week, but it is really the first big weekend of football. The Lions previously played in the Hall of Fame game that featured Issac TeSlaa as its star of the show. This week, it was Jackson Meeks.

Sixteen rookie quarterbacks made their NFL game debuts in the first week of preseason action over the weekend, and there was plenty of variance in the quality of their performances. There was also plenty of room for questions as they played differing amounts of time against differing levels of opposing defenses.
