The Seattle Mariners had a very good Sunday. 

The Seahawks? Not so much. And they got outscored by their baseball counterparts, 18-13.

On the first Sunday of the NFL season, the Mariners played an early road game against the Atlanta Braves. Cal Raleigh continued his power tear with his 53rd home run of the season to further etch his name into the record books as the Mariners cruised to an 18-2 win.

The win moved the Mariners within 2.5 games of the first-place Houston Astros in the AL West and put them 1.5 games ahead of the the Texas Rangers for the AL's final wild-card spot. It was a good day all around for the Mariners. 

Back in Seattle, things weren't so great for the home team. The Seahawks hosted the San Francisco 49ers in an intra-division NFC West matchup to start the season. 

The Seahawks led in the fourth quarter, but gave up a go-ahead touchdown late. They had a chance to score with a late drive into the red zone. But Nick Bosa strip-sacked first-year Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold, and the 49ers recovered to effectively end the game. 

The result was a 17-13 49ers win and an 0-1 start to the season for the Seahawks with a loss in the division. 

It marked a disappointing end to the day for the home fans in Seattle. But they can look to the Mariners' place in the MLB playoff race for solace.

If you mess with an NFL player, don't be surprised when they hit back.

As the Baltimore Ravens ran up the score at Highmark Stadium on Sunday night, one Buffalo Bills fan appeared to take issue with it. After a huge touchdown in the third quarter of the Ravens' 41-40 loss, a group of Ravens players walked along the outer wall of the stadium and passed several Bills fans — including one who struck receiver DeAndre Hopkins and quarterback Lamar Jackson on the helmet.

The blow to Jackson's head was strong enough that his head visibly moved back. Jackson then immediately dished it back to the fan and shoved him into the stands.

The altercation took place moments after Hopkins managed to pull in a stunning one-handed touchdown catch, which gave Baltimore a 34-19 lead at the time.

The Bills fan's discontent only grew as the Ravens' score did. After Baltimore running back Derrick Henry got his second touchdown of the night in the fourth quarter, someone threw what appeared to be a water bottle on the field in Henry's direction. The water bottle bounced inches behind Henry's feet in the end zone, though it didn't hit him.

The Ravens' lead, however, didn't last. Josh Allen and the Bills made a wild comeback in the fourth quarter, set up in part by a rare fumble from Henry, before Matt Prater drilled a game-winning 32-yard field goal. The Ravens looked absolutely stunned as Bills fans erupted throughout the stadium.

Hopkins finished with 36 yards and a touchdown on just two carries. Jackson ended up going 14-of-19 for 210 yards and two touchdowns in the air, with another 70 yards and a touchdown on six carries. Josh Allen went 33-of-46 for 394 yards and two touchdowns, and he had another two rushing touchdowns in the win for the Bills.
