NFL Week 3 featured several highly entertaining games three late-game blocked field goals, including two that were returned for touchdowns. However, for quite a few players and teams, this was not a week to remember. With that in mind, let’s take at the 10 biggest losers from Week 3 of the 2025 NFL season.
Did the Pittsburgh Steelers get a win on Sunday? Yes. Was it because of Aaron Rodgers? Not really. After a strong showing in his debut against his old team, the Jets, Rodgers has gotten worse every week. The accuracy is still there, but gone is the big play arm and ability to extend plays. For the future Hall-of-Famer’s supporters, he is showing that the guy they loved for so long is dead and gone.
The Green Bay Packers entered their game as one of the hottest teams in the league, in what seemed like the latest stop on their march to the Super Bowl. However, they hit a wall in the Cleveland Browns’ defense — which is eighth in our latest rankings. Their pass rush took advantage of injuries to the Pack’s O-line and hounded Jordan Love all day.
Yet, despite a rough day on offense, their defense still limited the Browns to 10 points and gave their offense a chance to win late. However, a blocked field goal would eventually set up the biggest upset in NFL Week 3.
Jake Browning has a career-changing opportunity in front of him. Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow is likely out for the rest of the 2025 season. Giving the backup QB the chance to generate a lot of interest from rival teams ahead of being a restricted free agent after this season. Yet, on Sunday, he was soundly outplayed by Carson Wentz, and he threw two more interceptions in an ugly 48-10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
The New York Jets did enough to get a big upset win on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and yet they still lost. They were down 23-6 entering the fourth and battled all the way back, and got lucky with a blocked field goal into a touchdown. Yet, their offense could not hold the line late and coughed up the win in the final second. Dropping their record to 0-3 this season.
Although the Browns got a big upset win on Sunday, it had very little to do with QB Joe Flacco. Sure, he led the game-winning drive late, but it wasn’t anything to write home about. The offense has not looked good this season, and they were anemic on Sunday. The fan base would like one of their rookie QBs to start sooner rather than later, and the journeyman did nothing to quiet those desires.
Like the Jets, the Los Angeles Rams were on the verge of a big upset victory on Sunday. The team flew across...
