Football is back, and so is heartache. Ian Hartitz goes beyond the box score on Week 1 with the Sheesh Report: every near miss you only caught if you watched every single game. Players stopped at the 1-yard line, the unrealized air yards leaderboard, touchdowns wiped out by penalties, the biggest DPIs, the interception doctor, and the drops and better ball touchdowns that would have been a lot cooler as six points. New episode every Monday after the slate.

UNREALIZED AIR YARDS
Aaron Rodgers was partying like it was 2015 again, with his highest single-game average target depth since he joined the Steelers. DK Metcalf left 136 unrealized air yards on the field, and replay showed AJ Terrell pulling his arm down on a potential 40-plus yard catch. DJ Moore led the week with 170, followed by Roman Wilson (147), Metcalf (136), Puka Nacua (133) and George Pickens (127).
GEORGE PICKENS AND THE BIG DROPS
Pickens busted in the box score, but he is still a major part of the Cowboys offense: 127 unrealized air yards, a 38-yard DPI and two big drops worth about 60 more yards. Jameson Williams, Chris Olave, Romeo Doubs and Tez Johnson also let big plays bounce off their hands.
TOUCHDOWNS CALLED BACK AND DPI TRACKER
Braelon Allen, Cooper Kupp, Ja'Kobi Lane, Darren Waller and Mitchell Evans all had scores taken off the board. On the DPI side, Tre Harris (48 yards), DJ Moore, Pickens, Roman Wilson and AJ Brown all drew flags that could have been much bigger days.
