NFL Week 3 in review

–Sunday was the kind of “Any Given Sunday” that helped the NFL become what it is today: Five games were decided on the final play.

The most dramatic was Philadelphia coming back from a 26-7 deficit to take a 27-26 lead only to have the Rams line up to try a game-winning field goal but the  Eagles blocked it and scored to seal the win and are one of six 3-0  teams. Often called a boring team  because of their run-oriented offense. they showed they can come from behind with Jalen Hurts at quarterback.

–Tampa  Bay and San Francisco also boosted their records to 3-0 with last-play victories over the Jets and Cardinals, but the 49ers lost Nick  Bosa for the season and backup quarterback Mac Jones is day to day with a knee injury so Brock Purdy may return against the Jaguars.

–Green Bay suffered its first loss on the final play against the Browns after the Browns overcame a 10-0 deficit and blocked a Packers field-goal attempt to set up their own game-winning field goal.

–Two surprising teams, the Colts and Jaguars, seem set for a battle for the AFC South title after the Colts beat the Titans and Jaguars beat the Texans. The Colts and Jaguars are 3-0 and 2-1, while the Texans and Titans are 0-3. 

–The Ravens fell to 1-2 after a Monday night loss to the Lions, who have won two in a row after an opening-game loss to Green Bay. Lamar Jackson was sacked seven times, and the Ravens may not be as good as they were thought to be this year.
