Arrr, mateys! Avast ye! The third week o' the NFL be lookin' mighty fine! Here be seven things ye need to know afore the games set sail on Sunday and Monday.
In the language of a 17th-century pirate, there be plenty happenin' in the football world as Sunday and Monday games be on the horizon. Fans will be locked in their couches and watchin' the televisions for quite a while, aye.But afore things kick off, ye need to know a little bit about what be happenin', me hearties.
Arr! The Dallas Cowboys be havin' a strong start to the regular season, me mateys. They only allowed 10 points in their first two games, includin' a 40-0 beatin' of the New York Giants and a poundin' of the New York Jets at home. They be havin' a +60 point differential, and they be lookin' forward to their game against the Arizona Cardinals.
According to NFL Research, the Cowboys could be the first team in history to score at least 30 points and allow 10 points or fewer in each of their first three games. They might even surpass the 1968 team by havin' a point differential over +99, arr!
Arr! The Los Angeles Rams be havin' a rookie wide receiver, Puka Nacua, who set the record for most receptions in his first two games with 25. The Rams be playin' the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night, and Nacua be tryin' to break the record for most receptions in a team's first three games.
If he does it, he could be the first rookie to accomplish such a feat. Nacua also be on track to join the elite club of players with 300 receiving yards in their first three games, as he be sittin' at 277, arr!
Arr! Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs be makin' some big money moves. They restructured his contract, makin' him the highest-paid player over a four-season span in NFL history. Mahomes be close to reachin' the 25,000 passing-yard and 200-touchdown passes milestones against the Chicago Bears.
If he achieves both, he be breakin' records as the fastest player to reach those marks. The Bears be startin' the season 0-2 and have allowed 65 points, so it be lookin' favorable for Mahomes, me hearties.
