Week 3 of the NFL was everything football fans live for: big plays, shocking upsets, and the kind of chaos that makes Sundays unforgettable. From teams surprising us with dominant performances to others leaving us scratching our heads, here’s the breakdown of Sunday’s wild ride.
Seahawks vs. Dolphins: Geno Sizzles, Dolphins Fizzle
The Miami Dolphins? More like the Miami minnow fish this week. After losing their starting QB, Tua Tagovailoa, the Dolphins turned to Skylar Thompson and Tim Boyle. Let’s just say, when Tim Boyle came in, it felt like he was throwing boyle’d eggs out there (sorry, couldn’t resist). The Seahawks made sure Miami’s offense stayed grounded, walking away with a 24-3 victory. Geno Smith threw for nearly 300 yards, and Zach Charbonnet ran wild with two touchdowns, reminding everyone that the Seahawks’ offense is no joke.
Meanwhile, Miami’s quarterback situation is like trying to fix a flat tire with a pool noodle—great in theory but bound to fail. It’s tough to win without a quarterback, as Miami learned the hard way.
Rams vs. 49ers: Josh Karty’s Golden Leg
The Rams made sure Sunday had its share of drama, edging out the 49ers 27-24 with a last-second field goal from rookie kicker Joshua Karty. Who knew the Rams’ secret weapon was a guy whose leg is made of pure gold? The 49ers seemed poised to snatch victory until Karty booted a 37-yarder through the uprights, sealing their fate. For all the fantasy managers with 49ers’ players, sorry—not much consolation in a loss.
Broncos vs. Buccaneers: Bo Nix Gets His First NFL Win!
Over in Denver, Bo Nix showed up for his first-ever NFL win, leading the Broncos to a 26-7 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Sure, he might’ve had a few shaky moments (hello, turnover-worthy plays), but with 47 rushing yards and a score on the ground, the rookie QB made it happen. Tampa Bay’s offense was so flat, you’d think they were playing on a sheet of cardboard. Hey, at least someone’s making a splash in Denver—and this time, it’s not just the altitude.
Panthers vs. Raiders: The Red Rifle Strikes Back
When Bryce Young was benched in favor of Andy Dalton, aka The Red Rifle, many thought the Panthers were toast. Well, grab the butter, because they toasted the Raiders 36-22. Dalton threw three touchdown passes, reminding the NFL world that he’s not quite ready to ride off into the sunset yet. The Raiders’ defense looked like they were on vacation, sipping piña coladas while Dalton picked them apart.
Packers vs. Titans: Malik Willis, The Hero We Needed
While Jordan Love recovers from an injury, Malik Willis filled in and absolutely dominated the Titans in a 30-14 win for Green Bay. Willis threw for over 200 yards, ran for another 73, and scored two touchdowns, leaving Packers fans wondering if they’ve got a QB controversy brewing. Maybe Willis is the future? Either way, the Titans didn’t stand a chance against the Packers’ relentless defense and Willis’s dual-threat attack.
That’s it for this week’s NFL action, folks. It’s been a wild ride, but one thing’s clear—anything can happen in this league, and that’s why we love it.
