NFL Week 3 Highlights: Bills Stall, Patriots Struggle, Turnovers Rule
WHY IT MATTERS
Early‑season turnovers and injuries reveal which teams are building momentum and which may face challenges as the NFL season progresses.
What happened
In Week 3, the Buffalo Bills’ offense faltered, turning the ball over three times in the first half and ultimately losing to the winless Los Angeles Chargers. The New England Patriots’ offense has produced only two touchdowns in three games, with quarterback Drake Maye throwing six interceptions and losing a fumble, raising doubts about the team’s offensive future.
Deshaun Watson’s shaky debut was followed by a solid performance that helped the Cleveland Browns secure a 2‑1 record. The Jets, though 1‑2, showed unexpected resilience, while the AFC South remained weak, with the Colts and Texans struggling to find rhythm.
Turnover margins proved decisive in several games, underscoring the importance of ball security early in the season.
