NFL Week 3 Instant Reactions: Broncos-Rams SNF Shootout, Ravens Walkout in Rio, Mariota Leads to Upset Victory

Nate Tice is joined by Hayden Winks to react to Sunday’s biggest Week 3 games around the NFL. The guys start by recapping the SNF thriller between the Los Angeles Rams and Denver Broncos, where Matthew Stafford threw an interception in the end zone by Talanoa Hufanga as the clock expired.

Next, Nate and Hayden jump into their Pick 6 with the takeaways from Sunday’s game slate. They opened with another close game until the final moments when the Baltimore Ravens scored with a field goal against the Dallas Cowboys in Rio de Janeiro. Next, they talk about Marcus Mariota replacing Jayden Daniels to lead the Washington Commanders to an upset victory over the Seattle Seahawks. The guys discuss takeaways from the matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cincinnati Bengals, where we saw a showdown between Aaron Rodgers and Joe Burrow. Plus, they look at some of DeMeco Ryans’ coaching decisions that could have led to the Houston Texans surprisingly falling to 0-3 against the Indianapolis Colts.

The Jacksonville Jaguars may have also revealed that Drake Maye and the New England Patriots are in big trouble this season as they have dominated them on offense and defense. Finally, the guys get into the continued skid of the Los Angeles Chargers as they lose to the Buffalo Bills despite winning on turnover.

For extra credit, Nate and Hayden talk about some remaining undefeated teams (and some surprising ones) in the Kansas City Chiefs, Minnesota Vikings, Las Vegas Raiders, and San Francisco 49ers, while also discussing some nagging injuries they’re each dealing with.
