Week 3 brought the usual surprises, along with some of the wackiest moments of the early season.

Jenny, Conor and Gary start with the Sunday night thriller in Santa Clara, how in the end it came easy for Aaron Rodgers after the 49ers scrapped to take a late lead, why continuity matters, and a conversation about Davante Adams’s uncomfortably brief time in concussion protocol.

Also, a discussion of the Rams’ asserting their superiority in the NFC behind Matthew Stafford and Raheem Morris’s defense against his former team, how the Raiders got to 3–0, why the Dolphins had a fighting chance behind Jacoby Brissett, the formula that has beaten the Chiefs and how the Chargers are treating Justin Herbert as the superstar quarterback he has become.

The Justin Tucker heroics and the pleasures of being a Lions fan, a look at everything that went so very wrong for the Bears during and in the runup to Justin Fields’s first career start, what exactly went down on Ben Roethlisberger’s long day and strange final play, dueling Jason Garrett food metaphors and much more!
