In a week three of surprises, the NFL was shook up after two interesting weeks to open up 2009. At this point, who would've thought that the Denver Broncos would be 4-0? Who would have thought that Cincinnati would come back and beat Green Bay and Pittsburgh?
Come from behind victories were the game-plan of choice for many teams like Cincinnati, Chicago and Minnesota. Other teams like the Detroit Lions found redemption after a year without glory.
Without further adieu, here's a run-down of 32 comments on 32 teams after the third Sunday's festivities...
1. New York Giants (3-0)- Shutting out Tampa in Tampa. Not bad for the 2008 Super Bowl Champions. W 24-0 vs Tampa Bay
2. Baltimore Ravens (3-0)- Offense goes off against a Cleveland team struggling to find itself. Flacco leads league in passing for the week with 342 yards. Overall, best balanced team in the game. W 34-3 vs Cleveland
3. New Orleans Saints (3-0)- 125 Points in three weeks. Defense steps up against Buffalo offense. W 27-7 vs Buffalo
4. Minnesota Vikings (3-0)- Favre saves Vikes with :02 to play. Still having doubts? W 27-24 San Fransisco
5. Indianapolis Colts (3-0)- Three straight 300-yard pass days for Manning to start the season. W 31-10 Arizona
6. New York Jets (3-0)- Sanchez has Jets fans believing in Ryan. Rest of the NFL will sleep on it. Jets defeat a hungry Titans that would be willing to trade league leading performances for wins. W 24-17 Tennessee
7. Philadelphia Eagles (2-1)- Kevin Kolb has his day, McNabb and Westbrook look on. Philly considers giving (Mr. Irrelevant) Michael Vick the key to the city. W 34-14 Kansas City
8. New England Patriots (2-1)- Big win over Atlanta keeps hopes alive. Brady and receivers not in 2007 form. W 26-10 Atlanta
9. San Diego Chargers (2-1)- Baltimore game speaks volumes now. Chargers light up Raiders, defense shines. W 23-3 Oakland
10. Atlanta Falcons (2-1)- Second half falter puts Falcons behind Saints and shows holes in Falcons defense. L 10-26 New England
11. Denver Broncos (3-0)- Sure they beat Cincinnati, Cleveland and Oakland... but we'll wait till after their next three game stretch against Dallas, New England and San Diego before we start talking AFC West title. However, holding each team to 7 points or less is impressive. W 23-3 Denver
12. Green Bay Packers (2-1)- Rodgers looks sharp, but if they want to contend in the NFC North, losses to Cincy can't happen. W 36-17 St. Louis
13. Chicago Bears (2-1)- Big wins over Pittsburgh and Seattle negate fallout against Packers. If Cutler stays hot, watch out. W 25-19 Seattle
14. San Fransisco 49ers (2-1)- San Fran is running hot. Upset in Minnesota changes nothing, unless Arizona gets out of its funk, Hill could lead this team to the post season. L 24-27 Minnesota
