NFL Week Three Delivers Thrills, Comebacks and Unbeaten Runs
Week three of the NFL season has wrapped up, and it’s safe to say fans were treated to everything from last-second drama to unexpected storylines. Six teams still sit unbeaten after this round of games, and the action showed exactly why Sundays in the NFL are always unpredictable.
Let’s start with the headliners. The Philadelphia Eagles, San Francisco 49ers, Indianapolis Colts, Los Angeles Chargers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Buffalo Bills all remain perfect on the season. Each win came in a very different fashion. The Eagles had to claw their way back after trailing the Los Angeles Rams, and it took a blocked kick that was returned for a touchdown to finally secure victory. The 49ers and Chargers both relied on cool nerves and clutch kicks as time expired to edge out the Arizona Cardinals and Denver Broncos. And while the Colts may not have been expected to be here at 3-0, they’ve turned heads again by winning in convincing style.

The Chicago Bears also made noise this weekend, and for once it wasn’t about their struggles. Under new head coach Ben Johnson, they stunned the Dallas Cowboys with a 31-14 victory. Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams lit up the field, tossing four touchdowns, while the Bears defense picked off Dak Prescott three times. That defense, which was shredded just a week earlier, stood tall when it mattered most.
Meanwhile, the Cleveland Browns produced one of the weekend’s shocks by edging the Green Bay Packers 13-10, thanks to a gritty late performance. Aaron Rodgers added another milestone to his Hall of Fame résumé, moving into fourth place on the all-time touchdown passes list, though his Pittsburgh Steelers still had to scrap hard for their win. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers also squeezed past the New York Jets in late drama, showing their knack for grinding out results.
Defensive and special teams touchdowns were a huge storyline as well—nine of them were scored across the league, with Minnesota Vikings cornerback Isaiah Rodgers having a historic day. He managed to return both an interception and a fumble for touchdowns while also forcing two more fumbles. That’s the kind of performance that goes straight into the record books.
As thrilling as this week was, fans won’t have to wait long for more headline moments. Next Sunday brings a historic matchup in Dublin, where the Pittsburgh Steelers and Minnesota Vikings will face off in the NFL’s first-ever regular-season game in Ireland. With fan events hosted by other teams like the Chiefs and Packers, and London games right around the corner, the league’s international push is only getting stronger.
In short, week three offered a little bit of everything—comebacks, collapses, history being made, and the promise of even more drama just ahead. If this is the early-season pace, fans are in for a wild ride this year.
