2019 NFL Week 3 Recap

Bears 31
Redskins 15

The one and only thing the ‘Skins can feel good about is Terry McLaurin, the first player in NFL history to notch at least five catches and a receiving touchdown in each of his first three games. With apologies to Gardner Minshew (and his mustache), Scary Terry’s the steal of the 2019 NFL Draft.

But HaHa got the last laugh. Clinton-Dix got a Pick 6 in his return to FedEx Field to help Chicago snap a 7-game losing streak against a Redskins team that has now lost eight straight on Monday Night Football and 24 of the 30 they’ve played on MNF since 1997. Oof.

Rams 20
Browns 13

In a battle of former No. 1 picks at QB and Cleveland’s first Sunday night game in 11 years, neither Jared Goff nor Baker Mayfield looked particularly good and the Browns certainly didn’t look ready for primetime 鈥 in more ways than one. While I’m not ready to say the Dawg Pound’s playoff hopes are a case of barking up the wrong tree, Baker’s slow start should remind us a trip to the postseason is not the foregone conclusion .

Saints 33
Seahawks 27

Unless you’re a Seattle fan, it’s hard not to feel good for Teddy Bridgewater. The backup to Drew Brees won his first start since Week 17 鈥 in 2015, well before his career-altering knee injury. If he can keep playing like this, the Saints can hang with anybody.

Steelers 20
49ers 24

It’s not often a team’s turnovers (5) outnumbers its margin of victory but San Fran survived the sloppiest game of the season聽yet to lock up their first 3-0 start in 21 years, while Pittsburgh continued its . If the Steelers can’t beat the Bengals at home in next Monday’s primetime battle of winless teams, it could be the low point of a really long season in the Steel City.

Texans 27
Chargers 20

Philip Rivers 鈥 the literal from the QB Class of 2004 鈥 couldn’t avoid a second straight late-game letdown but the Chargers can take solace in their virtual bye week in Miami next week.

Giants 32
Bucs 31

Daniel Jones told us , and boy was he. Jones engineered an 18-point comeback 鈥 the second largest since 1970 for a QB starting his first game 鈥 and became the first Giant with two passing touchdowns and two rushing scores in a single game. If he can keep this up against stiffer competition and without the , Dave Gettleman might actually know what he’s doing after all.

Panthers 38
Cardinals 20

Raise your hand if you knew before Cam Newton was ruled out of this game that his backup was some dude named Kyle Allen. (If you raised your hand, you’re a liar.) Four touchdowns and a road win later, everyone knows his name because he might have just given Carolina the confidence to keep Cam on the bench until he’s truly 100%.

Ravens 28
Chiefs 33

If Patrick Mahomes vs. Lamar Jackson is , it sure wasn’t on Sunday. Jackson was held in check, while Mahomes is the first player to throw for 300 yards in 13 of his first 20 career games and joins Brady as the only players with 300-yard, 3-TD and 0-INT stat lines in three straight games. Baltimore still has a ways to go before they’re on KC’s level 鈥 especially if John Harbaugh is going to undermine his own best efforts with .

Jets 14
Patriots 30

Including the Super Bowl, New England’s defense hasn’t allowed a touchdown in its last four games and even though they didn’t quite cover , the Patriots look virtually unbeatable.

Lions 27
Eagles 24

For just the fourth time in the Super Bowl era, Detroit is undefeated through a season’s first three games and pulled the upset of the week by stunning punchless Philadelphia in their own building. The Eagles have four tough road games (at Green Bay, Minnesota, Dallas and Buffalo) in their next five weeks so they’d better figure out how to before their promising season falls apart early.

Dolphins 6
Cowboys 31

Calm down, Dallas fans. The Cowboys beat the two worst teams in their division and needed almost three full quarters to dispatch of that’s obviously tanking. Win in New Orleans and beat an improved Packers team in successive weeks and then you can talk.

Raiders 14
Vikings 34

Even if Kirk Cousins is, in fact, a 鈥溾 he’s got a good enough team around him 鈥 most notably a clearly-healthy and 鈥 to make some noise in an unexpectedly good division. Beating a squad is nice, but stealing a win in Chicago next week would go a long way toward changing the narrative surrounding Cousins and the Vikings.

Falcons 24
Colts 27

Adam Vinatieri , Jacoby Brissett looked more like an MVP than Matt Ryan, and Indianapolis is off to its best start since 2013. Andrew who?

And though it’s still mathematically possible for Atlanta to live up to my lofty expectations, Ryan’s uninspiring start to the season and Keanu Neal’s injury (and the ensuing ) have me rethinking my second-boldest prediction of 2019.

Broncos 16
Packers 27

Denver, who hired a head coach because of his defensive prowess, has a defense without a take-away or a sack through three games this season. If only they had a player on their team capable of generating both 鈥

Bengals 17
Bills 21

Buffalo is 3-0 and has that implies the Bills could steal the Browns’ thunder and be the team that crashes the playoff party this year.

Titans 7
Jaguars 20

Right at the point when Jacksonville was , Gardner Minshew showed up out of nowhere to join D.C.-native Byron Leftwich as the only Jaguars QBs to throw for a touchdown in each of his first three games. If the Jags win the AFC South with the mustached (and ) Minshew at QB, Nick Foles may have just been ‘d two years after nearly doing the same to Carson Wentz.
