The third week of the 2023 NFL season ended with a doubleheader on Monday night. The Bengals defeated the Rams in a Super Bowl rematch, while the Eagles proved to be a better 2-0 team than the Buccaneers with a convincing prime-time win.
The NFC South went 0-4 overall in Week 3. The Falcons got out-muscled by the Lions, and the Saints lost their starting quarterback in a loss to the Packers. In the AFC, nobody was more impressive than the Dolphins. Miami put on an offensive showcase during Sunday’s 70-20 win over the lowly Broncos.
The Cowboys lost to the Cardinals, and the Bills knocked the Commanders back down to earth. Check out our latest batch of power rankings as we head into Week 4 of the NFL season.
