Three weeks into the NFL season, the picture is getting clearer — and stranger. The Buffalo Bills remain the team to beat after rallying past the Chargers 24-16 despite five turnovers, with Josh Allen and James Cook III scoring fourth-quarter rushing touchdowns to stay perfect at 3-0.
Right behind them, the San Francisco 49ers are also 3-0 after Brock Purdy threw four touchdown passes — including a hook-and-ladder score — in a 36-30 shootout win over Arizona. Purdy found George Kittle for the decisive 20-yard touchdown with 91 seconds remaining.
The surprise of the season so far? The Las Vegas Raiders, undefeated at 3-0 in the powerhouse AFC West and forcing everyone to take them seriously. On the other end, the Houston Texans are still searching for their first win.
Week 3 also delivered a record-tying 12 one-score games on Sunday, a reminder that in today's NFL, almost every Sunday comes down to the final possession.
