Malik Nabers made history this week, becoming the youngest wide receiver in NFL history to score two receiving touchdowns in a single game at just 21 years and 56 days old. His standout performance helped propel the New York Giants to a surprising victory over the Cleveland Browns, showcasing his immense talent and potential.
In addition to Nabers’ historic achievement, several other remarkable statistics emerged from Week 3 of the NFL, highlighting the league’s excitement and unpredictability. The Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense has been a force, holding opponents to under 300 total yards in each of their first three games, a feat not accomplished since the 2004 Seattle Seahawks. Meanwhile, Malik Willis has transformed his game with the Green Bay Packers, boasting a 76% completion rate and leading the league in both passing yards per attempt and rushing yards per attempt over the last two weeks.
Sam Darnold has also made headlines, throwing multiple touchdown passes in three straight games for the first time in his career, while Jauan Jennings delivered a career-best performance, posting 11 receptions for 175 yards and three touchdowns in a game. The San Francisco 49ers, despite missing key players like Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle, saw Jennings step up in a remarkable way.
On the defensive side, Tyrann Mathieu, the “Honey Badger,” continues to impress, recording his 35th career interception, placing him among the top active players in the league. Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes has etched his name in NFL history with his 77th career win, surpassing legends Tom Brady and Roger Staubach for the most victories in a quarterback’s first 100 starts.
As the season progresses, the competitive landscape of the NFL remains unpredictable, with teams like the Rams breaking long-standing losing streaks and the Miami Dolphins struggling to find their rhythm. With each passing week, the league continues to deliver thrilling moments and record-breaking performances, keeping fans on the edge of their seats.
