NFL Week 3: Biggest questions, takeaways for every game - ESPN

The New York Jets kicked off Week 3 of the 2024 NFL season with a big win over the New England Patriots on Thursday. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw for 281 yards and two touchdowns to move to 2-1 on the season.

Early on Sunday, the Pittsburgh Steelers downed the Los Angeles Chargers, the Philadelphia Eagles' defense handled the New Orleans Saints' high-powered offense, and the Bo Nix-led Denver Broncos handed Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers their first loss of the season.

Later, Andy Dalton and the Carolina Panthers put on a show, and the Los Angeles Rams pulled off an impressive comeback to beat the San Francisco 49ers.

On Sunday evening, the Kansas City Chiefs held off Kirk Cousins and the Atlanta Falcons. And on Monday night, the Buffalo Bills trounced the Jacksonville Jaguars, while Jayden Daniels dazzled as the Washington Commanders secured a statement victory over the winless Cincinnati Bengals.

It's a new group led by a new coordinator in Kliff Kingsbury, but Washington now has finished 14 consecutive full drives with points. Punter Tress Way has not seen action since the penultimate drive
