Trouble for the Da Bears and Mahomes in strife: Key points about Week 3 in the NFL
NFL Preview: Exciting Matchups Ahead as Teams Prepare for Week 3
The NFL season is in full swing, and Week 3 promises some thrilling matchups. Here's a roundup of some of the key games to watch:
- The Kansas City Chiefs, currently struggling with a 0-2 record, will face the New York Giants in a crucial game. A loss could see them fall to 0-3, a near-impossible task to recover from, as only six teams in history have managed to reach the playoffs after such a start.
- The Los Angeles Rams will square off against the Philadelphia Eagles, while the Las Vegas Raiders will face the Washington Commanders, and the Detroit Lions will take on the Baltimore Ravens.
- The Cincinnati Bengals, who have been hit by injuries, will be without their star quarterback Joe Burrow for at least three months due to turf toe. In his absence, the Bengals will play the Minnesota Vikings.
- The Dallas Cowboys will face the Chicago Bears, a clash where the Cowboys' defense just gave up 450 yards passing to Russell Wilson. The Bears, currently 0-2, will be without starting QB Justin Fields due to a concussion.
- The Indianapolis Colts, who have not punted in their first two games of the NFL season, a feat unseen in the Super Bowl era, will play their first road game against Tennessee.
- The New Orleans Saints will face the Seattle Seahawks, the Houston Texans will square off against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and the Pittsburgh Steelers will take on the New England Patriots.
- The Green Bay Packers will play the Cleveland Browns, the Atlanta Falcons will face the Carolina Panthers, and the Arizona Cardinals will play the San Francisco 49ers.
- The Indianapolis Colts will play their next game against the Tennessee Titans, a match that could be crucial in shaping the AFC South division.
- The Miami Dolphins will be without starting QB Justin Fields due to a concussion in their upcoming game against the Buffalo Bills.
- The Chiefs' 20-17 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in their last game was their third consecutive defeat, a worrying trend for Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.
- The Minnesota Vikings will be without rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy, who is sidelined for two to four weeks due to an ankle injury.
- The Denver Broncos will play the Los Angeles Chargers, a game that could shape the AFC West division.
- The New York Jets will play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a match that could be a tough test for the Jets' defense.
