NFL Week 3 live updates: How to watch, who’s playing, kickoff times, injuries, key players and more

Chargers getting it done on the ground

With new offensive coordinator Greg Roman leading the way, the Chargers have 395 rush yards this season (second-most in the league through two games behind the Packers), including more than 175 rush yds in back-to-back games for the first time since 2007.

Offseason addition RB J.K. Dobbins is leading the NFL in rushing entering Week 3 with 266 yds (averaging 9.9 yards a carry).

Questions remain for Will Levis

Tennessee’s starting QB is having an up and down start to the season. Levis has two passing touchdowns and five turnovers (the most in the NFL) in the first two games of the season.

Cameras caught Titans head coach Brian Callahan yelling “what the f— are you doing?” after he fumbled in a Week 2 loss to the Jets.

“I don’t regret my feelings about it and how I felt in the moment,” he said Monday. “I just think I can do a better job. Just like I ask my players to control their emotions, I probably should control mine a little bit.”

The Titans are looking to avoid starting 0-3 for the 1st time since 2009.

Tampa Bay’s Baker Mayfield having resurgent season

The undefeated Buccaneers have thrived this season thanks largely to Mayfield. The former No. 1 pick now has six total touchdowns (five passing) with just one pick.

“Building chemistry and building this resiliency and the culture that we want,” he said after his team upset the Lions in Detroit in Week 2. “This is a huge win for us, and so we have to continue to build on that.”

Mayfield and Tampa Bay are 8-2 over the last 10 games (including playoffs) dating back to 2023.

Bears offense struggling with rookie QB

Through two weeks, the Bears have the fewest passing yards, the second-fewest total yards (behind the Panthers) and the fifth-fewest rushing yards in the NFL.

“When it finally connects and we’re all in the same cylinder, it’s going to be good,” receiver DJ Moore said this week. “Right now, we’re still building… Until we get that puzzle fully complete, it’s going to be an up-and-down road.”

Caleb Williams, the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, was hit 11 times in Week 2.

“I’m a little bruised up,” he admitted after the game.

Giants targeting Malik Nabers in big way

If New York is going to get into the win column, they’ll have to take advantage of rookie stud receiver Malik Nabers. The former LSU star, picked No. 6 overall, had 10 receptions for 127 yards and a score in Week 2. His 18 targets was the most by a Giant in a single game since 2016.

His 25 targets this season is tied for the second most in the league.

The Browns rank in the middle of the NFL in passing yards per game at 179.5.
