Bryce Young is the problem
It's never fun to shoot the ambulance, but it's impossible not to talk about the Bryce Young case. In addition to having been benched for the 3e game, the young quarterback saw his team win without him and especially shine offensively. Andy Dalton led this attack to 36 points and 437 yards gained. Everyone was smiling on Carolina's side and Young's shortcomings appeared even more glaring.
You're going to have to be mentally strong, Bryce.
Aaron Rodgers is on the level
After a timid week 1, a week 2 in the running-in, Rodgers moved up a gear for this third game. The quarterback was surgical, brilliantly cutting through the Patriots defense. And what about this touchdown pass to Garrett Wilson. A throwing timing that few quarterbacks master. Watch out, NFL, Rodgers is ramping up week after week. The Jets are ready to take off.
Stafford and McVay are indestructible
While both men have won everything and could be basking in the sun, McVay and Stafford aren't abandoning the Rams ship. This week, both men showed off their talent to overcome the 49ers. Sure, San Francisco had its share of injuries, but it still had a more complete roster than the already depopulated Los Angeles. Respect
Justin Tucker is no longer the most reliable kicker
Warning for Justin Tucker and the Ravens. Long the league's best kicker, Justin Tucker is in the red at the start of the season. The kicker has a 62.5% success rate. The worst ratio for a kicker who has played three games this year. More worryingly, he is 0-2 at more than 50 yards. What was a strength and a certainty for the Ravens, is becoming a question mark.
Malik Nabers joins the dance
With rookie quarterbacks struggling, all eyes are turning to other positions for the Offensive Rookie of the Year award. While Marvin Harrison Jr. appears to be the frontrunner, Malik Nabers will be the contender.
The young receiver has shown his talent at the start of the season with 23 receptions, 271 yards (5e of the league) and 3 touchdowns (1er tied). He is already the cornerstone of the Giants' attack (targeted 37 times, 1er of the league) and carries the aerial game on his young shoulders.
Justin Fields set to stay
What if Justin Fields remained a starter in Pittsbrugh? With 3 wins in 3 games, and having his best aerial game of the season, Justin Fields could well complicate Russell Wilson's return. Will Mike Tomlin want to break his team's momentum?
Stop forcing!
NFL coaches and players can be stubborn sometimes. Reportedly embarrassed all week, Justin Herbert was put in the starting lineup against the Steelers' terrible defense. The result? A game exit and a worsening injury. Well done, Jim.
The Bears still have the worst offensive line in the league
Another great performance by the Bears offensive line. Good luck Caleb.
