NFL Week 3 is here, and there's no shortage of storylines to watch this weekend. Will the Giants finally get in the win column against the Browns? Are the undefeated Saints for real or will they come back to Earth against the Eagles? What will the Dolphins look like without star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa?
All of that and more will be answered. Stay with NBC News throughout the day for the latest on the NFL slate.
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.
