48. . 3-1. Previous: . Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 9. team

Bruce Arians’ team responded with two straight wins after the Week 1 loss at New Orleans and hosted the struggling Chargers. But the Buccaneers dug themselves a 24-7 second-quarter hole and quarterback Tom Brady served up another pick-six. But he rebounded and threw for 369 yards and five touchdowns to five different players. Ronald Jones added 111 yards on the ground and the Tampa defense held the Bolts to 46 yards rushing.

55. . 3-0. Previous: . Pittsburgh Steelers. 8. team

The Black and Gold is off to its first 3-0 start since 2010 and now due to the postponement of their Week 4 meeting with the Titans at Tennessee, will now wind up playing four straight home games as they will host the Eagles and Browns, respectively, the next two Sundays. Keith Butler’s defensive unit has already racked up 15 sacks and the club has come up with five takeaways. Ben Roethlisberger has thrown for seven scores with only one pick.

47. . 2-1. Previous: . New England Patriots. 7. team

Starting quarterback Cam Newton tested positive for COVID-19 and veteran Brian Hoyer will get the start against the defending Super Bowl champions in a game that has been rescheduled for Monday night (via Michael Baca of NFL.com). In both of New England’s victories this season, Bill Belichick’s team totaled over 200 yards on the ground. So can the Pats take advantage of a Kansas City run defense ranked 27th in the league entering Week 4?
