Five things to watch during the third week of the 2025-26 season

Tomorrow, the third week of the NFL season starts when the Buffalo Bills are looking to improve 3-0 on the campaign while they are ready for a division match with the Miami dolphins. With the 32 teams that were to play from Thursday to Monday evening, let’s look at the five most interesting things to watch during the third week.
5. Can the chiefs win their first game of the season?
This is very unusual for the chiefs of Kansas City of Patrick Mahomes. Dating from the Super Bowl, KC lost three consecutive games for the first time since Mahomes became the starting QB. Meanwhile, the giant offensive was the best she has had for years despite the loss. Will they be able to use an advantage on the field and this new pass attack to win a shocking victory on the title champions of the AFC? Or will Kansas City be going back on the right track and winning his first match of the season in prime time?
A match to watch: the wide receiver Malik Nabers against the secondary of chiefs.
NABERS leads the NFL in receiving the two -week lessons. Kansas City is tenth in reception of the yards authorized per game. It could determine who ends up winning, especially if Nabres plays as he did in the second week.
4. Steelers or patriots will pass to 2-1?
These two teams are 1-1, and this game is necessarily to have a feeling of qualifying series. With the Steelers and the Patriots who should compete for one of the three places of Joker from the AFC, this game will greatly contribute to determining who will arrive in the playoffs. The Pats are released from their first 30 -point game and more in three years and will seek to take advantage of a defense of the Steelers which deals with many injuries. But Pittsburgh’s quarter-rear, Aaron Rodgers, will probably play better this week against a team of patriots who is the last by match per match.
A match to watch: TJ Watt against Will Campbell.
It will undoubtedly be the most difficult test of the young career of Will Campbell after the left tackle was taken with the fourth choice in total to the draft of the NFL 2025. If he can hold on a defensive player of the year a candidate like TJ Watt, it will make things much easier for the Pats.
This game between the Baltimore ravens and the Detroit lions resembles the confrontation of the Super Bowl which we were deprived of last season. Instead of seeing these two compete in the big match, we will just have to be satisfied with a match on Monday evening in Baltimore. These two teams rebounded after disappointing performances of week one, combining 93 points last weekend, most of the two NFL teams. Since the game will not be in a dome, the Lions will probably not have the same offensive explosion they had last week, but these two teams should be good for more than 30 points each. There will be a lot of score in this match, so – as Terrell Owens said it once – “Prepare your popcorn.”
A match to watch: Lamar Jackson against the defense of the Lions.
Detroit was rebounded by the NFL 2025 qualifiers because he had no response for a quarter-threatened quarter like Jayden Daniels. Now they will have to go against the best quarter-threatening of all time in Lamar Jackson. We will see if the Lions learned from their debacle in the playoffs on Monday.
2. Can Broncos exceed the loads?
This game will have massive implications on how AFC West is shaking. If the loads gain, their control of first place in the division will be even stronger. However, broncos can skip the bolts and take first place from AFC West with a victory on Sunday. Justin Herbert plays on a MVP level, but he will have his hands full against a team that is currently ninth of the yards via the match. On the other side, the Broncos quarter-Arrière, Bo Nix, hopes to continue building on the three-affected performance he had in the second week.
A match to watch: Justin Herbert against the sores of the Broncos.
On the one hand, you have Justin Herbert, who looks like the favorite to win the MVP Prize. On the other hand, there is the reigning defensive player of the Pat Supervice II year, who plays next to a choice of draft in the first round at Jahdae Barron. Watching Herbert compete with these elite defenders will be a fun chess match.
1. Can RAMS take revenge on Eagles for the 2025 qualifiers?
It will eventually be, if not the best, one of the best games this weekend. It is a revenge match of the divisional round of the NFL qualifiers, where the Rams played the Eagles better than any team they faced in the playoffs. This time, it will not have to face the snow and other types of bad weather, which could bring this game closer that the last time these two met in January. With these two teams leading their respective divisions, someone will fall to 2-1 over the year. In addition to that, this competition could determine who obtains a better seed when the playoffs take place. There is a lot in play for a three -week match between two teams which are not even in the same division.
A match to watch: Jalen Houte against the seconds of the Rams.
When these teams met in the playoffs, the Rams hurt as a passer, but had no answer for him as a runner, which is why he rushed to 70 yards and a touch on seven races. This time, the young seconds of the will be better prepared to defend injuries as a smuggler and runner.
