NFL Week 3: Winners, Looks, and What to Watch Next

By: Sreeja Nallamala


Week 3 had everything. We saw drama, heartbreakers, and main-character moments that made football feel like a full-on reality show. From rookies stepping up to veterans showing why they are still the star, here are four moments that stood out.


  1. Winners are the players or teams who totally owned the moment and came out on top.

  2. Looks are the standout plays or vibes that defined the week, whether it was a jaw-dropping throw or a statement celebration.

  3. What to Watch Next is where we look ahead, keeping an eye on the storylines and questions that this week’s action set up.


Winner: Caleb Williams’ “I Belong Here” Game

Chicago’s rookie quarterback finally had his big “see, I told you” performance. Caleb Williams threw for 298 yards and four touchdowns against the Cowboys. The highlight was a 65-yard flea-flicker bomb that felt like something out of a sports movie. For someone who has been under pressure since draft night, this was more than just a win. It felt like his official soft launch into being a franchise quarterback.


What to watch next: Can he keep this same energy, or was this just his one hit single?


Look: The Browns Finally Breathe

Cleveland pulled off one of those messy but magical wins, beating the Packers 13 to 10. They were down by 10 with four minutes left, but then came the comeback. The game ended with a 55-yard winning kick from Andre Szmyt. After losing eight in a row, the city finally got a moment to smile again. It was not just a win; it felt like breaking a bad curse.


What to watch next: Is this the start of a new era for the Browns, or will they go back to their old ways?


Winner: Philly Knows How to Steal the Show

The Eagles always know how to bring a little chaos. Their 33 to 26 win over the Rams had everything. There were blocked field goals, last-minute drama, and a highlight from Jordan Davis that turned defense into offense. A.J. Brown showed why he is still that guy. Now Philly is 3 and 0 and glowing like the Super Bowl champs they are.


What to watch next: Can they keep the same shine when the season gets tougher?


Look: Jonathan Taylor’s Star Power

Some players just have main character energy, and this week it was Jonathan Taylor. He ran for 102 yards and three touchdowns, making it all look way too easy. It was not just about the numbers. He carried himself like someone who knows he is in the MVP conversation.


What to watch next: If he stays on this track, he will not just be the Colts’ highlight. He will be the headline.


Week 3 gave us vibes, resilience, and some crazy twists. The season is still heating up, which means even bigger moments are coming.
