The second week of the NFL season has come and gone, and now fans and bettors alike can turn their attention to Week 3.
The latest: The Green Bay Packers made another statement on Thursday Night Football, and now they’ll use the benefit of extra rest against the Cleveland Browns. Joe Burrow’s toe injury is a major storyline ahead of Week 3, as the Cincinnati Bengals battle the Minnesota Vikings next.
NFL Week 3 schedule notes
- The Buffalo Bills scored a dominant win over the New York Jets in Week 2 and set their sights on another divisional foe, the Miami Dolphins, in Week 3. One situation to monitor is Josh Allen’s nose, as the QB briefly left Sunday’s contest with an apparent nose injury.
- The Las Vegas Raiders are facing an uphill battle in Week 2. Not only are they operating on a short week after a late start on Monday Night Football, but they also have to visit the Washington Commanders, who played on Thursday Night Football.
- Joe Burrow exited Sunday’s contest with a toe injury, needing help to get to the locker room. Backup QB Jake Browning struggled in the contest. He threw three interceptions, but did enough for his team to win, 34-30. Next, the Bengals visit the Vikings.
- The Detroit Lions and Baltimore Ravens meet for an intriguing Monday Night Football matchup. Both squads lost in Week 1, but each responded with a blowout victory in Week 2. Detroit and Baltimore scored 30-plus points on Sunday, and fans should expect more fireworks in primetime.
