The Week That Was: NFL's Biggest Wins Shine Through

Week three of the NFL season saw some incredible performances, comebacks, and victories that left fans on the edge of their seats. Among the highlights were Andy Dalton's impressive throwback game, the Los Angeles Rams' late comeback, and the Minnesota Vikings' dominant win over the Houston Texans. In a stunning turn of events, the Carolina Panthers' decision to switch from Bryce Young to Andy Dalton paid off in a big way. Dalton led the Panthers to a 36-22 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, completing 26 of 37 passes for 319 yards and three touchdowns. Diontae Johnson had an impressive eight catches for 122 yards and a score, while Chuba Hubbard added 114 rushing yards and 55 receiving yards. The Panthers' win raises questions about Young's performance in the first two weeks. Was he really struggling, or was Dalton's performance a one-off? The answer remains to be seen, but one thing is certain – Dalton's performance saved the season for the Panthers. In another thrilling matchup, the Los Angeles Rams came from behind to beat the San Francisco 49ers 27-24. Despite being without Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua, the Rams' quarterback Matthew Stafford led two huge drives late in the game, including a three-play, 50-yard drive for the winning field goal. Stafford finished with 221 yards passing, while running back Kyren Williams added 89 rushing yards and two scores. The Vikings continued their undefeated streak with a dominant 34-7 win over the Texans. Quarterback Sam Darnold threw for four touchdowns, while the Minnesota defense stifled C. J. Stroud, sacking him four times and intercepting him twice. The Vikings' formula for success is clear: Darnold taking advantage of the team's weapons and playing clean football, while the defense is a serious unit that can shut down opposing offenses. Finally, the Baltimore Ravens held on for their first win of the season, beating the Dallas Cowboys 28-25. The Ravens' dominant rushing performance, which saw them run for 276 yards, was the key to their victory. However, the Cowboys fought back in the second half, making the game close late in the fourth quarter.
