In a thrilling and action-packed Sunday in the NFL, the focus was on winless teams facing off against 1-1 teams. The headlines were dominated by the Los Angeles Rams, Indianapolis Colts, Carolina Panthers, New York Giants, and Baltimore Ravens, all securing their first wins of the season by defeating teams with 1-1 records entering Sunday’s games.
Mid-tier quarterbacks also stole the spotlight, proving that you don’t need a massive contract to make an impact. Justin Fields and Sam Darnold led the Pittsburgh Steelers and Minnesota Vikings to impressive 3-0 starts, showcasing their talent and leadership on the field.
Andy Dalton took over for Bryce Young and wasted no time reviving the Panthers’ offense, guiding them to a statement win against the Las Vegas Raiders. Meanwhile, despite his hefty $40 million per year contract, Daniel Jones relied on rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers to help secure a surprising victory over the Cleveland Browns.
In other notable performances, Malik Willis continued to impress as the Green Bay Packers’ starter, defeating his former team, the Tennessee Titans. Rookie Bo Nix also made waves by leading the Denver Broncos to a stunning upset over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, earning his first career victory in the process.
And let’s not forget about the star quarterback in Los Angeles who continues to shine bright despite the pressure.
