Week 3 NFL roundup: Broncos edge Rams, Ravens win in Brazil, Commanders upset Seahawks
Highlights from Week 3 include Denver's last-second win over Los Angeles, Baltimore's field-goal victory in Rio, and Washington's upset of Seattle with Marcus Mariota at quarterback.
Nate Tice and Hayden Winks reviewed Sunday’s Week 3 NFL action, beginning with the prime-time matchup between the Los Angeles Rams and the Denver Broncos. The game was decided when Matthew Stafford’s pass was intercepted in the end zone by Talanoa Hufanga as time expired, giving Denver a narrow victory.
The duo then turned to the Baltimore Ravens, who secured a walk-off field goal against the Dallas Cowboys in Rio de Janeiro, marking the first regular-season NFL game played in Brazil.
They highlighted Marcus Mariota’s performance for the Washington Commanders, who defeated the Seattle Seahawks despite starter Jayden Daniels being unavailable.
Additional takeaways included a high-scoring win for the Pittsburgh Steelers over the Cincinnati Bengals, a defensive showdown between Aaron Rodgers and Joe Burrow, and the Houston Texans’ third consecutive loss to the Indianapolis Colts, a result some attributed to coaching decisions by DeMeco Ryans.
The Jacksonville Jaguars dominated the New England Patriots on both sides of the ball, while the Los Angeles Chargers fell to the Buffalo Bills, extending their losing streak to three games.
The hosts also noted the continued unbeaten records of the Kansas City Chiefs, Minnesota Vikings, Las Vegas Raiders and San Francisco 49ers, and discussed injury updates affecting several teams.
