🌎My Thoughts on the Sports World Today - NFL Week 3🌎
In the real world, NFL Week 3 is in the history books, in fact tonight is Thursday Night Football for Week 4 already! Time has no mercy as I always say.
But despite the new week beginning, it's just a singular game and I still feel like rambling about the past week and so I shall!
Bills defeat Dolphins, 31-21. Bills are still really good LOL. James Cook could be one of the more underrated running backs in the NFL. It could be a Bills-Chargers AFC Title Game. The Dolphins are cooked.
Vikings dismantle Bengals, 48-10. A battle of backup quarterbacks but it was clear that Carson Wentz of the Vikings is far better than Jake Browning. Carson Wentz might be the latest quarterback set to have a great second half of their career who knows? The Bengals are looking kinda doomed.
Jaguars defeat Texans, 17-10. The league may be figuring out C.J. Stroud. The Texans might stink in 2025/26. Yikes. Trevor Lawrence isn't much better. Despite the awkwardness that is the Jaguars, they're 2-1.
Commanders defeat Raiders, 41-24. It was really nice to see Marcus Mariota play well. Glad he's still having a reasonably nice career, and it's not close to over yet. The Raiders look like the same old Raiders.
Eagles defeat Rams, 33-26. Whenever these two teams play, it's an amazing game, and it was once again on Sunday. This could easily be an NFC Championship Game preview. Eagles were really impressive once again, they just don't quit. The Rams are also looking as good as they have in years. Adams has been a nice upgrade over Kupp so far.
Panthers crush Falcons, 30-0. The Panthers made a respectable statement by just bullying the Falcons Sunday. The Falcons may soon consider Kirk Cousins again who knows. Cousins is probably just enjoying getting super healthy for now and getting paid HANDSOMELY for it.
Steelers defeat Patriots, 21-14. This game went about as expected. Gritty, defensive. Teams were pretty evenly matched.
Browns shock the Packers, 13-10. This wasn't 28-3, but talk about a pretty wild meltdown overall. The Packers were up 10-0 with less four minutes to go but, that Browns defense is just too much. Impressive win to keep Browns afloat. I think the Packers will be ok.
Buccaneers defeat Jets, 29-27. The Bucs have a scary swagger about them. Week in and week out they're in these close games but I never doubt them. Impressive. The Jets are better than people probably think but ultimately I don't know if they'll win a lot of games.
Chargers defeat Broncos, 23-20. WOW, Justin Herbert is leveling up. I think Jim Harbaugh has been a great help for Justin Herbert's confidence. Bo Nix played pretty well in this one. This was a great AFC West match for sure.
Seahawks crush Saints, 44-13. The Seahawks might end up looking smart by taking on Sam Darnold over Geno Smith. The Saints look lost.
Bears defeat Cowboys, 31-14. Caleb surprised me in a significant way. Good bounce back by him and the Bears after getting wrecked by the Lions last week. The Cowboys surprised me a bit in the wrong direction, I thought they'd get this one. But I think the offense needs more time and they'll be alright.
49ers get past Cardinals, 16-15. The 49ers are super injured as always, but so far they're managing the hurdles pretty well. This is a big year for the Cardinals, and so far they look SUPER average.
Chiefs defeat Giants, 22-9. Chiefs finally got in the win column. Giants are moving on from Russ as QB1. Pretty impactful result for both franchises. If the Chiefs had gone 0-3 that would have blown minds.
Lions defeat Ravens, 38-30. The Lions just said don't forget about us!!! The Ravens are like the weird un-clutch cousin of the Bucs.
Can't wait for Week 4!
The sports world never sleeps, till next time!
