COMMANDERS UPSET SEAHAWKS AS BROWNS MOVE TO 2-1

The Washington Commanders beat the Seattle Seahawks in a Week 3 NFL fixture behind Marcus Mariota, with Quinn calling it a "huge win" and Mariota describing the result as "unbelievable". Reports suggested the Commanders could continue with Mariota at quarterback. The Cleveland Browns moved to 2-1 after Deshaun Watson scored two touchdowns in a win over the Carolina Panthers. The Denver Broncos came from behind to beat the Los Angeles Rams, with Bo Nix scoring a game-winning touchdown and Hufanga returning an interception for a touchdown.

The Kansas City Chiefs beat the Miami Dolphins to remain unbeaten after three games, with coverage suggesting the Chiefs "are back". The Buffalo Bills overcame turnovers to beat the Los Angeles Chargers, leaving the Chargers without a win after three games. The Detroit Lions beat the New York Jets despite defensive issues, and the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Cincinnati Bengals. The Dallas Cowboys lost to the Baltimore Ravens in Rio de Janeiro, with defensive errors and late-game execution cited as deciding factors. Baker Mayfield and Justin Jefferson both sustained injuries during the Week 3 fixtures.

The New England Patriots' offence was described as "broken" after a loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, with Maye said to be costing the team "opportunities to win". Analysts said it was not yet time for the Rams to panic despite their 1-2 start. Previews for Week 4 pointed to a Sunday Night Football match-up in which the Panthers will attempt to exploit the Lions' defensive backs. The Commanders, Browns, Broncos and Chiefs head into their next fixtures on the back of Week 3 wins, while the Patriots, Rams and Chargers face pressure to respond after difficult starts.
