Exaggerated reaction of the third week of the 2025-26 season
We are almost ready to go to the fourth week, which starts tomorrow evening, but before that, we have to take a look at all the things that have happened during the third week and determine whether the hot sockets that find us are excessive reactions or appropriate reactions.
Kansas City chiefs are back.
Overreaction
A victory against the unfortunate New York giants on Sunday evening Football suddenly made a good football team. We must remember that the G-MEN is tied with two other teams for the second percentage of the lowest victories of the NFL since the start of the 2023 season. The Chiefs offensive is still struggling to score effectively, as Prouva the fact that they have reached the goal zone that in the third quarter of their Sunday evening match. KC is still equal for the second place in their division and does not seem at all positioned to catch the charges at the moment. If they beat the ravens this weekend, we may have a different conversation. But until then it is too early to say that the chiefs are back.
Houston's Texans will miss the playoffs.
Appropriate reaction
There is a very real possibility that the Indianapolis colts will dethrone the Texans for the crown of the south of the AFC. Houston is without victory while Indy is undefeated. In addition, the colts are one step ahead in the division. If the Texans want to return to the playoffs, they will probably have to do so by winning a Joker point. Unfortunately, they do not have the type of schedule that will allow them to draw several consecutive victories. They must still face the colts twice, the loaders, the ravens, the 49ers, the Seahawks, the Bills, the Jaguars, the Broncos and the Chiefs. There is a good chance that the Texans had finished the season with a losing record.
Carson Wentz will be the starter of Minnesota for the rest of the season.
Overreaction
I said that yesterday, and it remains true today: Vikings' victory on Sunday does not change its long-term plans in the quarter-arre post. JJ McCarthy will be the starter of this team as soon as he is in fairly good health to return to the football field. Carson Wentz did not have to do much to win his first victory as a starter since January 2024. He launched 173 yards by the pass and two affected while taking care of football and not committing any turnover. I am convinced that the Vikings would have won this match with almost all quarter of the NFL. It would not have been of any importance if the Minnesota earned 100-0; The plan to start Carson Wentz is only temporary. The only way the changes are so Wentz goes out for a week and wins a match for the Vikes by launching 300 yards and three affected. If this happens, we will have to revisit this subject.
Emeka Egbuka will win the prize for the recruit of the year.
Appropriate reaction
No recruit was better on the ground and on paper than Emeka Egbuka. The Tennessee Cam district is in trouble during its first season because it has no weapons and plays behind one of the worst offensive lines of the League. Carolina's TET MCMILLAN could have some additional reception yards, but its touched numbers are not close to that of Egbuka. He is also injured by the fact that he plays for the panthers. Meanwhile, Emeka Egbuka is the number one reception option of an undefeated team that has aspirations of the Super Bowl. He led the Buccaneers in the receptions (tied for the first time with 14), the reception yards (181), the parts of more than 20 yards (four) and the affected (three). In fact, he was responsible for half of Baker Mayfield's Touché passes.
Mason Graham is the favorite to win the Prix de la recruue defensive of the year.
Overreaction
The child is an excellent player and a huge addition to what was already an excellent defense Browns. Unfortunately, most of the prices awarded in the National Football League are based on statistical performance, which generally do not promote defensive plated. His advanced statistics show that he is an elite player. Graham had a 43% Rush victory rate on Sunday. The average DTS league is 9%. But at the end of the day, voters do not care about Pass-Rush victory rates. They care about plated, bags, forced escapes and interceptions. If anything, his teammate (second Carson Schwesigner) is more likely to win the prize because he leads the Browns in the plated and already has more bags than Graham.
Jaxson Dart will be the starter of the giants for the rest of the season.
Appropriate reaction
Russell Wilson played on the bench. Apart from the aberrant match of the week two, he launched six affected, four interceptions, taken 22 bags and recorded four escaped while being held at 185 yards per match per match in his last seven departures which date back to last year. These are terrible numbers that are not expected from a starter of the NFL. The start of Jaxson Dart is the last Tactical Maneuvering Coach Brian Daboll must generate offensive explosiveness and possibly save his job. If Dart looks good, then New York’s senior management will not want to disrupt its progress, essentially forcing the team to keep Daboll as a chief trainer. Daboll needs Dart to be the permanent starter to move forward. Otherwise, he will be unemployed.
