Week 3 of the NFL season is here and the games are already shaping the playoff picture. Whether you missed a broadcast or you just want a quick recap, this guide breaks down the biggest scores, standout moments and key injuries you need to know.
First up, the defending champions pulled off a late‑game comeback, beating their rivals 27‑24 after a 70‑yard drive in the fourth quarter. The winning touchdown came from a rookie wide receiver on a tight‑end screen, showing why he’s a rising star.
On the West Coast, the Seahawks dominated the Chargers, putting up 34 points while holding the opposition to a single field goal. The standout was the quarterback’s 350‑yard passing day, highlighted by a 45‑yard bomb that sparked the final surge.
In the AFC, the Patriots finally broke their early‑season slump with a 21‑17 win over the Bills. A game‑changing interception in the red zone kept them ahead, and the defense forced three turnovers in total.
Injuries are already influencing line‑ups. The star running back for the Lions pulled a hamstring in the second half and is listed as questionable for next week. The team’s backup has been getting more snaps and looks ready to step up.
Meanwhile, the veteran quarterback for the Giants suffered a minor concussion but passed the league’s concussion protocol and is expected to start Sunday’s game. Coaches are keeping an eye on his response during practice.
These health updates matter because they affect betting lines, fantasy drafts and the overall competitiveness of teams heading into the mid‑season stretch.
