Miami, FL – The NFL’s Week 3 games brought plenty of action and excitement, with standout performances and tough injuries shaping the future for several teams.
The New York Jets celebrated a significant victory over the New England Patriots, led by quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who threw for a solid 281 yards and secured two touchdowns. With this win, the Jets improved to 2-1 this season.
In early action, the Pittsburgh Steelers overcame the Los Angeles Chargers, while the powerful defense of the Philadelphia Eagles effectively countered the high-scoring threats of the New Orleans Saints.

Later that evening, the Kansas City Chiefs managed to hold off a challenge from the Atlanta Falcons, making it clear that their offensive game needs improvement, particularly with their big-play capability.
The Dolphins faced significant setbacks as quarterback Skylar Thompson was pushed to the ground and exited the game.
