Well week 3 is in the books and i feel like we have learned a little more about a lot of teams. First of all Cleveland is really, really bad, I mean really bad. So bad that Derek Anderson who threw 3 picks against Baltimore will be the starter. Bret Favre still has some magic left when he threw a Touchdown pass to Greg Lewis with just 2 seconds left in the game. The Vikings fans are all giddy with Lombardi trophies dancing in their heads. The New York Jets seem to be for real after a win over the Titans and the "Sanchise" is looking like everything but a rookie. The Ravens lived up to their number 1 ranking in the ESPN Power Rankings, though it was against the Browns who i might have mentioned is really bad. Dallas finally got their first win in new Texas Stadium against lowly Carolina who dropped to 0-3. The Broncos continue to surprise with another win going to 3-0. And how could I talk about week 3 without mentioning Detroit getting their first win in 20 games, so Washington bailed out the Lions how nice. And of course Mike Vick made his much anticipated return and was really bad but its only one game so it should get better. So now i know you have been waiting for it so now the Best and Worst of Week # 3.
TOP 5 BEST OF WEEK 3
1) Detroit Lions--I know the Lions arent going anywhere but after 19 straight losses they deserve to celebrate a little congrats to the Lions.
2) Peyton Manning---379 Yards Passing 4 TDs---Not a surprise but Peyton is making an early case for being the front runner in the MVP race.
3) Maurice Jones-Drew---119 Yards Rushing, 3 TDs---After an 0-2 start for the Jags they needed someone to spark the offense, that was it.
4) Joe Flacco---342 Yards Passing 1 TD---Flacco did not have one 300 yard passing day all of last year, he has 2 in 3 games in 2009.
5) Bret Favre---301 Yards Passing 2 TDs---Got to give some credit to the old gun slinger his Vikes are 3-0 and he his a big part why.
TOP 5 WORST OF WEEK 3
1) Washington Redskins---Everyone knew it was going to happen but nobody wanted to be the team to let it happen, the Skins are in trouble.
2) Cleveland Browns---After losing 34-3 to Baltimore the Browns are in bad shape up to 10 percent of the locker room has filed grievances against Mangini, not a good start to the Mangini era.
3) Terrell Owens---For the first time in 185 straight games T.O. did not have a catch, the honeymoon may be over sooner in Buffalo than in the other cities T.O. got into bed with.
4) Matt Cassel--- 90 Yards Passing 2 TDs---Yea he had 2 touchdowns but you cant win football games with only 90 yards passing.
5) Tampa Bay Buccaneers---I know the New York football Giants are good but the Buccs only had 85 yards of total offense, and it seems Byron Leftwich is out as the starting QB.
BEST 3 GAMES
1) Ravens at Patriots---Flacco vs. Brady
2) Jets at Saints---# 1 Overall Defense vs. # 1 Overall Offense
3) Chargers at Steelers---Almost a must win for Sixburgh.
STINKER OF THE WEEK
Buccaneers at Redskins---Both offenses are horrible.
