Week 3 belonged to quarterbacks with questions to answer.
Kirk Cousins refused to allow his Vikings to fall to 0-3, throwing for 323 yards and three touchdowns to ensure any confidence we may have had in the Seahawks was a fool’s errand. Aaron Rodgers planted the Packers’ flag atop the NFC North, despite some, uh, questionable officiating.
Tom Brady and Matthew Stafford combined for 775 passing yards because every Rams-Buccaneers game is a banger now, I guess. Justin Fields went in the opposite direction, which is not great for Matt Nagy’s job security in Chicago.
In the end, five teams escaped with undefeated records — two each in the AFC and NFC West. The Chiefs fell below .500 for the first time since 2015. The Raiders are 3-0 for the first time since 2002. Half the AFC South, including the Indianapolis Colts, is searching for its first win of the year.
