Why was Week 3 one of the NFL’s closest and most unusual Sundays?
Welcome back to the show. Josh Jenkins and Cain Corns up until 10 o'clock and then slamming Sam Edmund will jump in and join me. I'm just going to hold the Lions' best five wins because we need longer than five minutes. Cain, it's a deeper conversation. I am going to do a little NFL speed cap recap. It's what I call it. So yesterday was the closest... or Monday for us, in 20 years of the NFL. The closest day of the NFL in 20 years. And to add to that, so since 2013, teams who were plus five, so teams who had had five more turnovers in terms of their advantage than the opposition, were two wins, 81 losses and a tie. They are now three wins, 81 losses and a tie. The Chargers... had five more turnovers that fell their way.
So the Bills had five turnovers, two fumbles and three picks. And still lost the game. The Chargers are responsible for all three of those losses. Wow. The Chargers of 2015, 2022, and yesterday are the team that lost all three of those games against the 81-1. 3-81-1, and the Chargers have all three. So that speaks to the drama yesterday. So I'm going to rip through what we've seen thus far. The Bears and the Eagles aren't too far away. All right, stand by. I want your reaction.
How did Atlanta upset Green Bay in Week 3?
Green Bay is an angry, angry town. They got handled by Zip and 2 Atlanta, Drake London and Bijan Robinson.
You've been to Green Bay?
Yes, I've been there. I've been there. Both went for 194 and 1.
Why did Joe Burrow and Cincinnati lose to Pittsburgh?
Joe Burrow was once the Prince, but he's now 1-34 when he trails in Q4. And
he gave
the Steelers D back the ball and gave Pittsburgh the dub. Deshaun Watson went 5% closer to winning back the Browns fans. Problem is he's got another 95% of the
way
to go. Houston fall to zip in three, the same mark they were last year before getting to a divisional playoff game, if you don't mind. So hold on there, Houston, but they do have a problem in Houston. Miami lost its only pro ball performer, and Kansas City just did only what was necessary to win in the Floridian Sun.
How did Buffalo beat the Chargers despite five turnovers?
Buffalo, as I mentioned, had five turnovers. Josh Allen played badly, yet somehow they still beat the Chargers by eight. That says more about the Chargers than Buffalo. Ooh. Ooh. Mariota.
What happened in the Giants, Jaguars, and 49ers Week 3 games?
The New York G-Men won a game without scoring a touchdown, but almost lost it at the end before Cam Ward threw a terrible interception to give the Giants the dub. One of the rare blowouts for the day was Jacksonville. They smashed New England in Jacksonville. Drake May threw two picks and had two fumbles. He is a problem. The Melbourne 49ers won the least stressful one possession game 36-30 against the Cardinals. Todd Bowles is already on the hot seat. Tampa gave Baker Mayfield $165 million, and now he's injured, and they've lost 11 of their last 12 games, including last season.
What made Cowboys-Ravens in Brazil an unforgettable NFL game?
In Rio, Dallas and Baltimore went ham. With seven seconds left, it was a tie. Lamar Jackson threw a 27-yard pass before Tyler Loop avenged last season. with a 56-yard walk-off field goal, one of the best games ever played internationally. Of course, Vegas are 3-0. We all knew that would happen. Brock Bowers went healthy as one of the best players in football. Denver, like last year, got off the canvas, came back from 16-0 down at halftime. Bo Nix and Denver found a way to win over the Rams, who are 1-2 and no longer Super Bowl favourites.
Can the Bears overcome Caleb Williams’ absence against the Eagles?
And the Bears and the Eagles, Kane, are about half an hour away.
Yeah, without Caleb Williams, the quarterback for the Bears, which is unfortunate. Who's going to be the starting quarterback today?
They're going to be using their third stringer, Case Keenum, who hasn't thrown a pass in the NFL for about two years. Wow. He's
40. Yep, good luck with that. So that's a bit flattening on a Monday night football game, which is prime time, but a good day. What a sport it was. My Denver Broncos put up 30 in the second half against the Rams to get it done. Bo Nix gets it done. Denver defense was just huge. So that was good. Best sport in the world, the NFL? Best
sport
in the world.
The drama is unbelievable. And it does speak to, I mean, NFL Red Zone, it does speak to still some substance for having a lot of games going at the same time.
