Week 3 of the NFL season was a true testament to the saying ‘Any given Sunday.’
Six winless teams secured their first wins, while nine road teams and eight underdogs emerged victorious.
With an unpredictable start to the season in September, the league’s desired parity has definitely made its presence felt in the initial three weeks.
Currently, five teams are still undefeated: Chiefs, Bills, Steelers, Vikings, and Seahawks, while the Bengals, Jaguars, and Titans are yet to secure a win.
Among these eight teams, there are plenty of surprises to keep fans on the edge of their seats.
Notably, the once-underestimated Minnesota Vikings, the rookie-coached Seattle Seahawks, and the post-Russell Wilson Pittsburgh Steelers have turned heads with their performances.
As we navigate through this thrilling season, remember – in the NFL, nothing is guaranteed, and surprises await at every turn.
The recent standout was Jayden Daniels, leading the Washington Commanders to a momentous 38-33 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night.
Despite being 7 1/2-point underdogs, the Commanders emerged victorious, showcasing the true spirit of the NFL’s unpredictability. Daniels set an NFL rookie record by completing 91.3% of his passes in the game.
Moving forward, this season promises more excitement and upsets, reminding fans why they love the game of football.
Stay tuned for more exhilarating action as the NFL season unfolds!
