The Bills defense allowed the Jets to get loose for four plays of 40 or more yards.

When Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill took the field for the game-winning drive, he told his teammates that nothing that preceded that moment mattered anymore.

Rookie wide receivers Aaron Dobson and Kenbrell Thompkins came through with big days for the Patriots.

Said Jets G Willie Colon of WR Santonio Holmes’ big day, “Santonio’s been ballin’ since me and him got drafted together. That’s the only Santonio I know. He’s a lot of things, but he’s a gamer. And I love him to death.”

Ravens DT Arthur Jones had a sack in his team’s win one day after his brother Jon “Bones” Jones successfully defended his UFC light heavyweight title.

The play of the Bengals defensive line was essential to their Week Three victory.

Browns TE Jordan Cameron tied a franchise record with three touchdown catches on Sunday.

A good individual night didn’t do much to erase the pain of another loss for Steelers WR Antonio Brown.

Texans QB Matt Schaub said he needs to be better than he was in Sunday’s loss.

The Colts’ new running back tandem impressed the guy signing their checks.

Quick thinking by TE Delanie Walker helped the Titans avoid an interception on their game-winning drive.

Monday night will be the fifth time that Raiders S Charles Woodson faces Peyton Manning, his rival in the race for the 1997 Heisman Trophy.

The Chargers got banged up more on their offensive line in Sunday’s loss.

There wasn’t much to second-guess about the Cowboys in Week Three.

WR Hakeem Nicks was shut out in the Giants’ blowout loss.

The state of the NFC East works well for the Eagles.

A slew of mental mistakes conspired to sink the Redskins against the Lions.

Bears WR Earl Bennett wasn’t sure if he was able to get both feet in on the touchdown that iced Sunday night’s victory.

TE Joseph Fauria scored again for the Lions, which meant another chance to display his dance moves.

Packers RB Johnathan Franklin’s first NFL regular season action couldn’t have gone much better until his fateful fourth quarter fumble.

Said Vikings DE Jared Allen, “We’re not even thinking about making the playoffs right now. We’re talking about winning a game. And now we’ve got to get on a plane and go to London. It doesn’t get any easier. We need to put it together.”

The lack of Steven Jackson didn’t stop the Falcons from establishing their run game.

Panthers LB Chase Blackburn believes his knowledge of the Giants offense boosted the Panthers on Sunday.

The Saints have traveled an unfamilar path to 3-0 this season.

The Buccaneers missed on chances to open up a lead early against the Patriots and the offense couldn’t keep moving the ball as the game progressed.

A lack of balance on offense caught up with the Cardinals in Week Three.

Rams coach Jeff Fisher said his team didn’t do anything well in their loss to the Cowboys.

If the 49ers brought this report card home, they’d probably be grounded.

DE Chris Clemons looked good in his return to the Seahawks defense.
