Week 3 Responding to what happened in the Sunday afternoon games and behaving too much …
Things that make me giddy
If the passing rating was really indicative of a quarterback game: Russell Wilson will be about the same as the surface temperature of the sun.
The Seattle Seahawks, like the young Chris Carter, only score touchdowns: They have been in the red zone nine times this year and got nine touchdowns. (They are also up for 1-1 on two-point conversions). They have 111 points from three games and only one field goal.
Josh Allen is the world’s wildest roller coaster: Allen’s afternoon included four passing touchdowns, a rushing touchdown, a reckless jump-ball prayer with a 25-point lead … but the hurdle was wrongly ruled out. There was another lost fumble, a rare quarterback facemask penalty because he used one pass rusher as a human shield to block another pass rusher. And he was The second For a vague teammate on the final side – the player on that team was undeniable because no reasonable person would ever try this type of side (the ball is safely rotated out of bounds). Either way, Bills beat the Rams by three points in a game of football.
When Bill reaches the red zone, he scores seven: Five Red Zone trips, 35 points, and each of them needs them. In a league where no one seems interested in facing anyone, red-zone efficiency is a very important thing.
Ramz playing later: Maybe they prefer not to keep playing behind 25 points, but they are fully capable of getting points on the batch if they need to.
Post channels his inner Josh Allen: What a beautiful mess! Prescott had two bad turnovers, a third was in frustration, and should be fourth when Michael Gallup’s hand bounced when he hit Seattle’s Tray Flowers in the chest. But Prescott also rained big plays against a bad Seahawks defense, erasing a 15-point deficit with Michael Gallup and Cedric Wilson with a 40-plus-yard TD (it was also Wilson’s 40-yard early in the game).
The False Era runs in Chicago: Like any video game, you start with the simplest level: complete a comeback in the fourth quarter against the Falcons. It wasn’t exactly sharp – and hey, Michelle Trubiski also led a three-TD fourth quarter against a bad defense this month! – But, considering the Bears have dealt with the past three seasons, they were so intense. (Although you really have to wonder how the Falls can’t win this summer …)
Tom Brady was really sharp: Just this. I’m not kidding here. He was throwing downfield-no-points, and the Books will probably end a very successful season. Happy?
Get the Lions Takeaway! No, get the lions Takeaways!: It was his second taste of the killer Murray, and his number three with a contradiction and a potential fourth that hit safety Duron Harmon in the chest. Detroit had no possession in their first two games of 2020, and had only one multi-takeaway game in their last 13 before Sunday.
Philip Rivers 400th Touchdown Pass: Not of his career, not of the game. (He was playing jets, so clarification is needed.)
Patriots Arez Darren Weller: There’s a saying I’ve just created, and that is that Bill Bachic’s philosophy is to strip the opponent’s best weapon. After the Saints burned Monday night, Valer had two catches for nine yards in Foxborough, all of that production coming in the final five minutes of a three-possession game.
Matt Roulette is on board !: The Panthers usually played it safe, and eventually found enough chargers errors to drag the discomfort into LAStephen Gostkowski never missed: At least not in the last 24 hours. It goes 6-for-6 in Minnesota as the Titans win in front and back romance.
Robert Woods with the ball in his hand: He again yelled the YAC yards (yes, I know he was in vain), and went for 9, 15 and 6 yards on his three run attempts.
Take Your Kid to 49 Kirs Work Day: Or I think this is how they gathered their roster for victory over the Giants.
Why is cruising: The point where he could spend the last five minutes in action creating memes.
Browns Win Games They Should Win: Which is a pretty good thing, because they didn’t do it a year ago.
TJ Watt announces his defensive player of the year intention: More on this later in the week.

Sorry
Falcons prove that they can blow any lead at any time: You could say that defense is an issue – and it is! – But how about this crime? Against Chicago, his last six assets include four pints (including three three-outs), a missed field goal and an obstacle. In the last 20 offensive plays he ran with the main, he produced a 68-yard offense and three first downs.
NFL DK Metcalfe’s requests to build fields 97 yards:
Falcons Petition to Make the NFL a Two-Hand Touch:
Seattle’s defense responsibilities are: No one’s defense is good at the moment, but especially bad for a team with Seattle’s Super Bowl aspirations. And on Sunday, Jamal Adams went down with an injury.
Toyed with Jalen Ramsay: Ralph Wilson Stadium, Ramsay’s home of horror; He was convicted on three touchdowns on Sunday. On the fourth and goal in the first quarter, Josh Allen moved Ramsey to the other side of the field with his eyes and then left the ball near Limi Smith for an easy touchdown. The next day, Ramsay jumped in and found Tyler Croft for another easy drop-for. And on the third TD, Stefan Diggs ran to the corner and then turned back to Ramsey, as Ramsey thinks he was playing a game of football.
The Eagles offense: It is difficult to know whether it is a matter of design without looking at the -L-3 angle angle, the receivers do not open or even try to throw the Ventz ball now as he does not know where it will go when he does. (Guess it’s a mix of the three.) But they were scratching for anything they got against the Bengals. Bangles!).
Chargers hook by inch and miss the lateral: If the pitch is on-target which is a game-winning touchdown on the final game:
Josh Allen Going Wild When Not Going Wild: The call was outrageous – the actual outcome of the play should be a 30-yard finish – but there’s no reason to throw Tyler Croft a first-down, downfield jump ball while securing a 25-point lead in Allen. Half.
Mike Zimmer has a bad defense: This was their best performance in three games so far, but they had a 12-point lead with 20 minutes left and gave up 20 points to lose.
Matt Prior jumps: The Eagles are in line for a potential 59-yard game-winner in the final seconds of overtime. Punished the Padres instead of trying the 64-yard line. Which is a shame, because if he had tried and missed the Bengals kicker Randy Bullock, he could have faced a 64-yard effort, and if he missed, Jack Elliott had a chance to come out and try again with 64. Would have been found. (Well, maybe the Bengals would have done a play before, but it will always be a dream.)
Better than the original Justin Herbert sequel: But the sequel was still good. The Panthers were under more pressure than they should have been, picking up on what they felt was a misunderstanding (although probably on QQB, not Cannon Allen), and they made a big play erased by an outrageous offensive pass interference. Flag. There is no doubt that this is a better offense with them.
The bad inhibitor of Jadevan Clone is: This probably didn’t result in the Titans’ decision to sign him, but during Jonathan Joseph’s half-in-pick-six, to open the second half, Cloveny unnecessarily placed a blindside block to Justin Jefferson to take a point off the board. The Titans went in and out of the three and scored on the incoming capture.
D’Andre Swift: Matthew Stafford Pass, one of Beck’s limited hitters, hit him in the back because he didn’t realize he was hot. One day he made his first three NFL appearances. Games will look up and laugh. Maybe.
Dwayne Haskins Picks: He traveled by throwing the seam, did a bad reading and looked at the receiver for its three turnovers. Chalk it up to a learning experience, but in a very winning game it’s a little hard on the stomach.
AJ Moore’s difficult time: He’s a pretty special Timmer in Houston. Indeed, he shouldn’t drop one on Eric Ebron on the third and goal – it’s a free touchdown for the Steelers. But Moore also blew coverage on the Juju Smith-Schuster 26-yard walk-in TD a few minutes later – it was a zone call, and Moore just ignored the receiver that passed him on the crosser.
Rookie issues for giants: In particular, Rookie Corner Darney Holmes makes a vague and completely unnecessary illegal contact committee on the third and -22 at the end of the first half. The Giants would have got the ball back in the 6-6 game, instead being in the end zone after 49 minutes three minutes. Holmes probably didn’t run enough laps in the training camp.
Alan Robinson is good and all, but …: He has a defensive back – in this case Darkies Denard in the end zone – taking an interception from his hand in two straight games.
Bilal Powell’s steeplexes tryout goes badly:

Moments we will tell about our grandchildren
Call for this fourth-down pass intervention: More like illegal contact for the record – Mike Pereira said on the broadcast that he Was Defensive penalty. The question is whether Gabriel Davis started the contact, or whether Darius Williams caught Davis first, which would make him fine. That sounds awful like the latter. Bill survived and won the next play.
Will this stand as the worst call of the season ?: Granted, this was hard to call real-time-really, it wasn’t. This Fail was worse than Mary, and that fact too Endorsed on review That is the charge of the whole replay system.
Postal Credit Bank: Completely surrounded by chest and knees and hands of Tray Flowers and a handful of Michael Gallup.
The Josh Allen Facemask: Of all the quarterback facemask fines you’ll see, this is easily the most impressive. He uses a defender as a human ield, then returns the ball to his right hand to throw.

What we’ll talk about this week
Controlling Trubiski: She has been traveling fairly for the past three years, but Trubiski has to take another quick snap for the Bears to injure Nick Falls. Presumably, someone who thinks they can fix it mechanically and manage it into a highly planned offense will take a flier like Boutrals on the former No. 2, who will pick up the next se fasen.
Is the bear… 3-0 ?: I need a fact-check on it.
The Lions were just joking about those first two games: Even in the afternoon when Matthew Stafford was not his sharpest, the Lions were enough to move on the road and handle the growing Cardinals team by landing the ball. Defense keeps them in it, and Vintage Stafford shows up to delay plays (including the gorgeous winner for Marvin Hall on board due to penalties). Matt Patricia’s life!
Pump the brakes on the ‘Kiever for MVP’ campaign: It may have been one of those days, but I’m not sure what he’s seeing – or If He was watching the field against the Lions on Sunday. He put a potential fourth int in Duron Harmon’s chest in safety was much more ugly than the number indicates in one performance. He’s already pretty good, and his future MVP campaign could happen, but he’s not there yet.
Bur Burro gets his first career tie: Even though it felt like a loss to his opponent, so that’s something.
The Titans are 3-0: With a distance of +6 points (and 0-3 against the spread if you’re in that kind of thing).
Is there a contraction on the table for giants and jets ?: I mean, we’re a central epidemic, there are allegations that homefield turf is unsafe …
Panthers and Lions instant double-digit loss holes: Carolina went to 10, Detroit was to 13. We’ll end on that happy note.
