Boxing NFL Week 3 losers
Cincinnati Bengals unique groups. Simply a definitely abysmal efficiency from this system. They were guilty of a roughing the punter call that extended a Steelers drive, leading to a goal. As if that was okay enough, they likewise fumbled a punt (while safeguarding a three-point lead early in the 4th quarter) that offered the Steelers the ball inside the 15-yard line. The Steelers transformed that for a basket. That is a 10 point swing (a minimum of) in a video game the Bengals lost by 3 points.
Drake Maye, quarterback, New England Patriots.It is time to be worried. Extremely worried. Maye has actually not looked great in a minimum of 6 successive starts now, and Sunday might have been among his worst efficiencies in the NFL. He is falling back. Quickly. The Patriots require him to figure it out. Quick. They are not going to have the high-end of an all-time bad schedule this season. It is going to boil down to their young quarterback playing like the franchise quarterback he is expected to be.
Justin Herbert, quarterback, Los Angeles Chargers. Yeah, the group around him may stink too, however Herbert makes a lot of errors like this that can’t be blamed on anyone however him. The Chargers are now 0-3 this season after Sunday’s 24-16 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Tom Brady was best to rip him.
Tom Brady: “Herbert trying to throw down the middle of the field… But there’s a safety in the middle of the field… Poor awareness. Poor decision. Throws him a meatball sub.” #NFL pic.twitter.com/5XzEAxnr8V– Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing) September 27, 2026
Dallas Cowboys training personnel. Whatever about the last minute of this video game was a training catastrophe. They appeared material to bet a tie and overtime, and after that they never ever made it to overtime since they kicked a goal back with 7 seconds to play rather of making Baltimore run time off the clock. They in some way permitted Lamar Jackson to finish a pass down the joint to get them into field objective variety for the abovementioned Loop walk-off field objective.
The NFC South. The NFL’s worst department is at it once again, with 3 groups at 1-2 (Carolina Panthers, Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints) and one group (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) at 0-3 through the very first 3 video games. Even even worse for Tampa Bay, it is not dealing with the prospective lack of beginning quarterback Baker Mayfield due to a dislocated thumb.
