NFL Week 3 Review

Upsets, Upsets, and Even More Upsets are occuring this season in the NFL. Good news for the Cowboys and Vikings though, you finially got a win. One of the most disappointing things this season is the start that the 49ers and the Lions are having. Both teams are very good, but both of them are winless.

Falcons (2-1) 27/Saints (2-1) 24: One of the most anticipated matchups of the week did not disappoint at all. The Falcons defense was able to pick off Brees twice and they controlled the clock the whole game. The Falcons are looking impressive this year and only have one loss in OT to the undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers. The Saints still look explosive as they had a chance to win the game in OT, but Hartlet SKANKED it to the left.

Chiefs (3-0) 31/49ers (0-3) 10: The Kansas City Chiefs are one of three teams that are still undefeated. The running game looks impressive for the Chiefs and the passing game is off and on with Matt Cassell. The 49ers couldn't get anything going against Kansas City sunday. The running game wasn't in sync, and the passing game disappointing once again. I expected a little bit more from the San Francisco defense, but once again disappointment. The 49ers need to get things going if they want any success this year.

Vikings (1-2) 24/Lions (0-3) 10: The Lions offense went out during the game because of an groin injury. Jahvid Best has been keeping the Lions in the first two ball games. Minnesota's defense was impressive was agains, and Adrian Peterson went OFF on Detroit. I think it is safe to say that Adrian Peterson is the best RB in football. The kid is crazy good. Not just strong, but really quick. It looks like Minnesota is getting back on track.

Patriots (2-1) 38/Bills (0-3) 30: The Patriots defense was horrid against the 0-3 Bills, but the offense was potent enough to score 38 points on Buffalo. C.J Spiller had his best game this year, and Fitzpatrick looked like he studied enough at Harvard to do decently well against the Pats. Benjarvis Green-Ellis did really good against Buffalo which I'm not sure that it will happen again.

Titan (2-1) 29/Giants (1-2) 10: The Giants have been struggling the pass two weeks. When you are forced to throw left handed inside the 10 yard line, you have some problems. I mean who does Eli think he is? Peyton? Eli just needs to throw it to Hakeem Nicks like he did in Week 1 when they won. Chris Johnson and the Titans are now 2-1 with their only loss to the Steelers. Sound familiar?

Steelers (3-0) 38/Buccaneers (2-1) 13: The Steelers defense continues to impress. Medenhall looked really good against Tampa Bay who shut down Panthers one week before. Josh Freeman and the Bucs struggled against one of the top defenses in football. Charlie Batch filled in really well for the injured Dennis Dixon. The Benless Steelers, are undefeated and have a good chance of staying undefeated before Ben comes back.

Bengals (2-1) 20/Panthers (0-3) 7: The Bengals are another team that has looked impressive after their loss to New England. The offense hasn't been that impressive, but the defense is coming up big against their last two opponents. The Panthers on the other hand are looking like one of the WORST teams in professional football. The way their offense is right now, their defense needs to step it up for the Panthers.

Ravens (2-1) 24/ Browns (0-3) 17: The Ravens defense strugged against the Browns. Surprisingly the Browns almost pulled this one out, which would have stunned the Ravens. Joe Flacco was able to keep the Ravens in this one with THREE TD passes to Anquan Boldin. If the Ravens can get the passing game to working, they will be VERY dangerous.

Cowboys (1-2) 27/Texans (2-1) 13: The Cowboys finially got their first win of the season. I did not see this one coming at all though. The Texans have been really impressive the first to weeks and hit a speed bumb in Week 3 to the Cowboys. Texans only had 1 passing touchdown, and Arian Foster was unable to punch it in the endzone. I'm sure this was a little slip from the Texans.

Rams (1-2) 30/Redskins (1-2) 16: Well I thought the Rams were the worst team in football, but they surprised the NFL in Week 3 by scoring 30 points. Bradford looked pretty good for a rookie quarterback and Stephen Jackson opened the game with a HUGE TD run to get the Rams started. After beating the Cowboys, the Redskins are starting to slip up, and not before as well (See score above). I still don't think the Rams are anything to be afraid about.

Eagles (2-1) 28/Jaguars (1-2) 3: Michael Vick continues to impress. He has never thrown like this ever. He absolutely has his head on track and he just locked up the starting spot in Philadelphia. The good thing about the Eagles QB situation is that they have really good trading value with Kevin Kolb. The Jaguars beat Denver in week one, but have lost two straight. The running game isn't anything and the passing game has not worked as effective as it did in Week 1. The Eagles are the team to beat in the NFC East.

Colts (2-1) 27/Broncos (1-2) 13: The Colts passing game is looking good as it has always been. Austin Collie is the #1 WR right now in the league. That is how good the Colts passing game is working. Orton almost passed for 500 yards against the Colts, but only found the endzone 1 time. The Colts and Texans are going to have to battle it out for the AFC South, in which the Colts will win.

Cardinals (2-1) 24/Raiders (1-2) 23: My other upset pick besides the Falcons over the Saints, was this one. Raiders would had this one if they were able to sink the kick as time expired. Gradkowski looked like he is the Raiders QB right now, and Darren Mcfadden continues to impress. Mcfadden is finially the guy who the Raiders drafted a couple years ago. Derek Anderson had an alright game for the Cardinals throwing two TD's. One to Breaston and one to Fitzgerald.

Seahawks (2-1) 27/Chargers (1-2) 20: The Seahawks continue to find ways to win in big games. This week was Leon Washington. He had TWO kick return TDs against San Diego. Fantasy wise- only 12 points. If it wasn't for lighting himself the score might have been 20-13 Chargers. The Chargers without Ryan Matthews look alright, but there was a noticable difference in the running game. Antonio Gates had another BIG game as he went over 100 yards and had one TD.

Jets (2-1) 31/Dolphins (2-1) 23: The Dolphins hung tough with the Jets throughout the game Sunday night. They were able to make the Revisless Jets look vunerable in the passing game which they are. The Jets offense looked impressive for the second week in a row as they demolished the Dolphins for 31 points. If the Jets can get Revis to come back healthy and the offense to continue to perform, they are one HARD team to beat.

Bears (3-0) 20/Packers (2-1) 17: The last team that is undefeated in the NFL is the Chicago Bear. We'll I have to go eat so I'm just going to say, I don't know how?
