NFL 2021 Week 3 results

 We have some shocking results already.  Both Seattle and KC find themselves at 1-2, as does Pittsburgh.  The only totally expected unbeaten team is the Los Angeles Rams.  I don't think too many people thought that Arizona, Carolina, Las Vegas, or Denver would be so dominant.

Top Teams [Last week's position]

1.  Denver Broncos (3-0) [5] : Look at Teddy Bridgewater go!  Their rushing attack is slightly improving, but it is still the passing game and a VERY stingy defense making this team go.

2.  Los Angeles Rams (3-0) [2]

3.  Arizona Cardinals (3-0) [1]

4.  Carolina Panthers (3-0) [4] : Sam Darnold continues to show off his arm in Carolina.  It's amazing how great he can throw when his line gives him enough time!

5.  Buffalo Bills (2-1) [NR] : They put on quite an impressive offensive performance this past week!

6.  New Orleans Saints (2-1) [10] : Their defense is really getting scary!

7.  Las Vegas Raiders (3-0) [6]

8.  San Francisco 49ers (2-1) [7]

9.  Cleveland Browns (2-1) [13] : Any team that produces nine sacks in one game has a potent defensive front

10. Cincinnati Bengals (2-1) [NR] : Steelers who?

11. Dallas Cowboys (2-1) [15] : Another dynamic offensive performance this week.  Defense still needs a bit of work

12. Tampa Bay Bucs (2-1) [3] : It wasn't even close against the Rams!  Too much dependence on Gronk; Brady needs to spread the ball around

Division Rankings [Last week's position]

1.  AFC West [1] : New top dog as both Denver and Las Vegas continue to roll

2.  NFC West [2] : Seattle's collapse is not good, but the other teams still rock

3.  NFC South [3]

4.  AFC North [4] : The balance of power is shifting from Baltimore and Pittsburgh to Cleveland and Cincinnati

5.  NFC East [5] : Philly is inconsistent, so only Dallas really stands out

6.  AFC East [6] : Wither New England, only Buffalo is really impressive

7.  NFC North [8] : Green Bay continues to improve after their Week 1 debacle, and now Minnesota is waking up.  Chicago seems DOA

8.  AFC South [7] : Despite a 2-1 record for Tennessee, nobody looks good here
