The Buccaneers came back down to earth in embarrassing fashion, losing 26-7 at home to the Broncos. The Buccaneers do have impressive wins over the Commanders and Lions, but fall back to the middle of the pack after their Week 3 beatdown.

Controversy might be a strong word when the choices are Gardner Minshew and Aidan O’Connell, but here the Raiders are. O’Connell replaced Minshew in the fourth quarter Sunday and finished 9-for-12 for 82 yards and a touchdown. That might be enough to earn him a start, although coach Antonio Pierce didn’t sound happy with anybody after the game.

Week 3 of the NFL regular season saw a resurgence of quarterbacks Malik Willis's and Justin Fields's young careers, the arrival of Jayden Daniels's, all while former first pick Bryce Young sat on the bench watching Andy Dalson lead the Carolina Panthers past the Las Vegas Raiders.
