The third week of competition confirmed, as we already assumed, that San Francisco and Philadelphia They are the two teams that have the best chance of going far in the National Conference. Two teams in trouble, Chargers y Bengalsadded their first win of the season, while the big surprise came from Arizonawhere the Cardinals surprisingly won about Cowboys whom no one imagined playing against an a priori affordable rival. The Dolphins…the Dolphins just coasted through one of the greatest offensive displays in recent memory. We analyze it all in a new episode of The Touchdown.
OUTSTANDING: MIAMI DOLPHINS
Even though it was expected, it is no less spectacular. Beating Denver was within the foreseeable future, but scoring seventy points in the NFL is almost impossible, and the Dolphins’ attack has shown in three weeks that, with Tua in charge, it is capable of beating any defensive scheme, for example. good that it is. Without Waddle, McDaniel crushed the Broncos with a performance of his running game that will go down in history. Two runners with four total touchdowns each? Seeing is believing.
NOTABLE: HOUSTON TEXANS
Young team, new coach and a rookie quarterback, with a low profile, who doesn’t seem to want to attract too much attention. Without many starters, the Texans’ first weeks leave very good feelings. The team competes, there is talent to continue growing, and the lack of pressure can make them a dangerous rival within a division that is more open and unpredictable than it seems. Will they win the division? Probably not. But maybe they could end up being to blame for someone else not winning it either.
APPROVED: LOS ANGELES CHARGERS
They had to win and they won. It wasn’t easy for the Chargers to win in Minnesota. Like every week, his game had drama, suspense, mistakes everywhere and a decision by Staley, a fourth down of his own, that could have gone down in history and sent him directly to the employment office. But this time the coin fell on his side. And a team that wins is a team that does its homework in a competition as tough every week as the NFL.
SUSPENDED: DALLAS COWBOYS
The Cowboys stumbled where no one expected it and at a time when everyone thought they weren’t going to. Without wanting to take away even an iota of merit from the Cardinals, an aspiring team should not fall into this type of game. Despite being the starting quarterback for Team America, there are still people waiting for Prescott and mistakes like the final interception don’t help. Who knows if this defeat could end up being decisive come January.
PROGRESS PROPERLY: PITTSBURGH STEELERS
The steel team begins the season exactly where it left off. After a clear defeat, two victories that do not escape them. They are always experts in moving with ease against teams, like the Browns and Raiders, that we don’t know exactly where they can end the season. They will continue to grow Pickett and see if they have a quarterback of the future. They will continue to produce top-level receivers, whatever the round of the Draft. And they will still have TJ Watt. They will continue to lose and win, almost equally, but right now it is all part of the equation.
NEEDS IMPROVEMENT: SEAN PAYTON
Neither their squad is the best nor did anyone expect them to reach the end of the first month of competition in an enviable position. And despite this, Sean Payton is going down with the entire team. If in the preseason it escapes you that the team was very poorly trained last year, it does not speak well of your work that one of the best defenses of last season now seems like a gift to almost anyone. They will improve, and they will no longer play against the Dolphins, but it is time to talk less and play better. Without excuses.
