NFL Power Rankings - Top 10 Performances of Week 3
With Week 3 in the books, let’s take a look at the top 10 performances from the Sunday slate. Who had the most impactful performances and played a lead role in delivering the victory for their team? Let’s dive in!
No. 10 - Nico Collins, HOU
Even though the Texans fell short in this game, top wideout Nico Collins enjoyed a massive showing on Sunday afternoon. After being relatively quiet through the first two weeks, the iwoduetp posted his first 100-yard game of the season. His performance was highlighted by a 50-yard TD reception in the fourth quarter. Overall, he caught eight of his 11 targets for 104 yards.
No. 9 - Justin Herbert, QB
While he may not have had the most impressive box score, Herbert came alive in crunch time. In the final frame, Herbert threw a game-tying TD pass to Keenan Allen and would then march his team down to set up the game-winning field goal for Cameron Dicker. Herbert finished the game going 28-for-47 with 300 yards and a 1:1 TD:INT.
No. 8 - Marcus Mariota, WSH
Replacing the injured Jayden Daniels, Marcus Mariota did not disappoint and led the Commanders to an important victory on Sunday. In this game, Mariota was not tasked with doing much, but he was very efficient with his opportunities. The veteran QB went 15-for-21 with 207 yards and a score through the air. On the ground, Mariota added 40 yards and an additional score on six attempts.
No. 7 - Caleb Williams, CHI
Caleb Williams was able to get the Bears back on track in a crucial victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday afternoon. After starting 0-2, Williams enjoyed a career game, going 19-for-28 with 298 yards and four passing scores. With his legs, he added 12 yards. He connected with rookie wideout Luther Burden III on a 65-yard TD and found his top wideout, Rome Odunze, in the back of the end zone for the third-straight game.
No. 6 - Tre' Tucker, LV
Despite falling short in their game against the Commanders, Tre Tucker lit up the scoresheet. The wideout caught a team-high eight passes (on nine targets) for 145 yards and three touchdowns. Tucker’s longest reception of the day went for 61 yards. This was an important game for Tucker as he proved to be a reliable No. 2 option in the WR room, opposite of Jakobi Meyers.
No. 5 - Vikings Defense
The Vikings’ defense made a case to be in the No. 1 spot, especially Isaiah Rodgers. The Minnesota defender enjoyed an incredible showing, scoring two defensive touchdowns, one on a pick-six and the other on a fumble recovery. Overall, the Vikings shut down Cincinnati backup Jake Browning as they allowed only 10 points and racked up four sacks.
No. 4 - Jordan Mason, MIN
Another No. 2 option who replaced an injured starter this afternoon was Vikings running back Jordan Mason. With Aaron Jones on the IR and the starting QB J.J. McCarthy sidelined, Mason led the way on the offensive side of the ball. The former 49er took 16 carries and totaled 116 yards and two touchdowns. Mason figures to be the heartbeat of the offense for the foreseeable future.
No. 3 - A.J. Brown, PHI
After looking like an early-season bust through the first two weeks, the top wideout in Philadelphia enjoyed a much-needed breakout game. During their victory over the Rams, Brown led the way, catching six of his 10 targets for 109 yards and a score. Even though the Eagles will remain a run-heavy team, Brown is one of the top WRs in the sport and can produce elite stat lines like this when called on.
No. 2 - Jonathan Taylor, IND
Jonathan Taylor has established himself as the sport’s top running back through the first three weeks of action. Taylor enjoyed another massive game on Sunday, tallying 102 yards and three touchdowns on 17 carries. Taylor flashed elite efficiency, posting a remarkable 6.0 YPC. Through the air, Taylor caught three of his four targets for another 16 yards.
No. 1 - Jalen Hurts, PHI
Without a doubt, Jalen Hurts will take the top spot on this list. After falling behind in the first half, Hurts was able to kickstart a thrilling second-half comeback over the Rams. The reigning Super Bowl MVP went 21-for-32 with 226 passing yards and three scores through the air and added 40 yards and a touchdown with his legs. In the fourth quarter, he found DeVonta Smith in the end zone for the game-winning score.
