NFL Weekly Summaries
NFL Roundup: Week 3 Preview
The NFL season is in full swing, and Week 3 promises some exciting matchups. Here's a rundown of some key storylines to watch:
Falcons Seek Second Win
The Atlanta Falcons got their first win of the season last week and will be aiming for their second against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. However, they'll be without cornerback A.J. Terrell Jr., who is considered week-to-week with a hamstring injury.
Eagles' Barkley Struggling
Saquon Barkley has had a modest start to the season for the Philadelphia Eagles, but they'll be hoping for a turnaround against the Los Angeles Rams this weekend.
Buccaneers' Comeback Kings
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have notched two comeback wins this season and will face the New York Jets on Sunday, who have allowed 30 or more points in each of their first two games under new coach Aaron Glenn.
Jaguars Lead League in Rushing and Interceptions
The Jacksonville Jaguars are leading the league in rushing yards (169.5 per game) and interceptions (five). They'll be looking to extend their streak against the Houston Texans on Sunday, a team they have never intercepted CJ Stroud in four games. Stroud, the third-year QB, has had a slow start with one touchdown and one interception in two games.
Steelers Face Injury Woes
The Pittsburgh Steelers are dealing with injuries to linebacker Alex Highsmith, cornerback Joey Porter Jr., and safety DeShon Elliott. They'll be hoping to break their 13-year drought without a win in Foxborough when they face the New England Patriots on Sunday. The Patriots have gotten the better of Pittsburgh in seven of their past eight meetings.
Commanders' QB Question
Marcus Mariota could be the starting quarterback for the Washington Commanders due to an injury to Jayden Daniels. Mariota, with plenty of experience, will be looking to guide the Commanders to their first win against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Rams' Offense and Defense Shine
The Rams' offense, led by RB Kyren Williams and QB Matthew Stafford, has been impressive, while their defense has been stingy, yet to allow a touchdown. They'll be looking to continue their winning streak against the Eagles on Sunday.
Packers and Browns Clash
The Green Bay Packers (2-0) will face the Cleveland Browns (0-2) on Sunday. The Packers have won six of the past seven meetings against the Browns, and last week, they were aggressive pushing the ball down the field. The Browns, on the other hand, have yet to force a turnover, and the Packers haven't coughed one up.
Other Notable Matchups
- The Tennessee Titans (0-2) will face the Indianapolis Colts (2-0) on Sunday. The Colts are 2-0 for the first time since 2009.
- Running back Bijan Robinson of the Falcons is second in the league with 292 yards from scrimmage. He'll be looking to make an impact against the Texans.
- The Detroit Lions have scored at least 50 points in a game five times in their history. They'll be hoping to continue their impressive form against the Chicago Bears.
- The Minnesota Vikings, with former No. 2 overall pick Carson Wentz, will be looking to get their first win against the Cincinnati Bengals.
- The Los Angeles Chargers' Justin Herbert has been stellar, with 560 yards, five touchdowns, and zero interceptions through two games. He'll be looking to extend their winning streak against the Arizona Cardinals.
- The Seattle Seahawks, who need to perform better on offense, will face the San Francisco 49ers.
- The Dallas Cowboys' offense has been more balanced this season, thanks to their overhauled offensive line. They'll be looking to continue their good form against the New York Giants.
