NFL Week 3 grades: Patriots stumble to an ‘F,’…

The third week of the NFL season has turned into upset Sunday around the NFL. There have been 14 games played through the 1 p.m. ET slate, and the underdog has won six of them. 

• The Steelers (+3.5) recovered a Joe Burrow fumble to seal a 30-27 win over the Bengals
• The Browns (+2.5) are TIED FOR FIRST PLACE in their division after beating the Panthers 21-18
• The Colts (+1.5) used a 53-yard field goal in the final seconds to beat the Texans 19-17
• The Commanders (+8.5) pulled off the SHOCKER of the day by stunning the Seahawks 33-31. 
• The Raiders (+4.5) managed to stay undefeated with a wild 35-27 win over the Saints
• And let’s not forget about the Falcons (+4.5), who destroyed the Packers 35-14 on Thursday night
