Best NFL games of Week 3: Marcus Mariota, Russell Wilson meet in Nashville showdown
By Joe Schiller
We’ve got Week 3 NFL regular season action and here are the 5 best games you’ll watch over the weekend.
Through the first two weeks of the NFL regular season, things haven’t seemed to disappoint. We’ve had out blowouts, but have also already some great games play out. As the weeks go on, the games will start to get more meaningful come playoff time.
Sit down and relax, here are the five best NFL games of the weekend.
5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Minnesota Vikings
It’s hard to feel confident about the Vikings without knowing the severity of Sam Bradford’s knee injury. Case Keenum under center isn’t going to lead this team anywhere, it doesn’t how matter how well Dalvin Cook runs the ball. A team only goes so far as their quarterback in today’s NFL.
All the hype is surrounding the Bucs as they come against their first real test of the season. A win against the Bears doesn’t mean much considering they’re one of the worst teams in the NFL. But either way, this Bucs team is for real. With Jameis Winston under center, this offense is dangerous and has a ton of weapons. From Mike Evans, DeSean Jackson to Cameron Brate at tight end, opposing defenses have to be locked down on everyone.
The Vikings have one of the better defenses in the NFL, but the Bucs are going to be too much to handle. We saw it last week against the Steelers. If Sam Bradford isn’t playing the Vikings offense can’t stay out on the field. The Vikings best chance to win this game is through the defense, but if they’re gassed, it’s going to be a tough time.
