NFL Week 3 in Review

After 3 games there are three undefeated teams: Kansas City Chiefs, Pittsburgh Steelers with Dennis Dixon and Charlie Batch, and the Chicago Bears. Wow, what a start. There seems to be more parity in the league than in a long time, and it is hard to find any team that will win 13 games this year.

Bests of the Week:

Team: Kansas City Chiefs, who completely dominated the 49ers.

Players:
Gold Medal: Michael Vick, who threw for 291 yards and four total touchdowns, including this throw.

Silver Medal: Leon Washington of the Seahawks, who returned two kickoffs for touchdowns to help the Seahawks upset the Chargers.

Bronze Medal: BYU Alum Austin Collie, who caught 12 passes for 171 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Also deserving mention: Anquan Boldin (3 touchdown catches), and Adrian Peterson (160 yards, two TDs) helping the Vikings get their first win.

Catch: Tony Moeaki's amazing grab. Also, how did Antonio Gates catch this pass?

Flea-flicker: Matt Cassell to Dwayne Bowe. Everyone loves a Flea-flicker.

Game: Falcons road upset in overtime over the Saints.

Upset: Rams over the Redskins.

Worsts of the Week

Game execution: New York Giants. 471 yards, only 10 points?

Team performance: Packers, who committed 18 penalties for a whopping 152 yards, missed a field goal, and had a bad turnover that lost the game.

Pressure kickers: Saints' Garrett Hartley missed a 29 yard field goal in overtime, and Raiders' Sebastian Janikowski missed a 32 yard chip shot as time expired. Both would have been game winners.

Stock is Rising: Chiefs, Falcons, Jets

Stock is Falling: 49ers, Chargers, Panthers
