By Nkahoot Comedy Sports Desk | September 24, 2025
Week 3 of the NFL 2025 season was a chaotic cocktail of missed tackles, miracle catches, and quarterbacks auditioning for community theater. From Miami’s dominance to Washington’s defensive meltdown, here’s your full comedic recap—plus AFC and NFC standings graphs that prove math is just pain in chart form.
🧠 Overview: Week 3, Where Logic Goes to Die
Week 3 is when the NFL stops pretending to be predictable and starts acting like a reality show. Coaches gamble like they’re in Vegas, kickers miss like they’re allergic to accuracy, and fans scream like they just found out their team traded for Zach Wilson.
🧨 Game Recaps: The Good, The Bad, and The Bears
🐬 Dolphins 38, 🛡️ Jets 13
Tua Tagovailoa threw for 4 TDs and zero apologies. Zach Wilson, meanwhile, threw two picks and one tantrum. Jets fans are now legally allowed to sue for emotional distress.
🦁 Lions 31, 🐻 Bears 10
Jared Goff played like he was possessed by Tom Brady’s ghost. The Bears offense was so bad, their playbook is now being used as a sleep aid.
🦅 Eagles 27, ⭐ Cowboys 24
Jalen Hurts ran like he owed someone money. Dak Prescott threw two touchdowns and one existential crisis. The Cowboys missed a field goal so wide it registered to vote in Texas.
🐏 Rams 20, 🐆 Jaguars 17
Trevor Lawrence threw a pick so bad it got booed by his own fantasy team. Stafford remembered Cooper Kupp exists and threw him the ball like it was a love letter.
🧀 Packers 21, 🐦 Falcons 23
Jordan Love threw a game-winning interception—if you’re an Atlanta fan. Younghoe Koo nailed a 55-yarder like he was trying to impress Taylor Swift.
🪖 Commanders 17, 🐅 Bengals 30
Sam Howell spent most of the game running for his life while the Commanders’ defense played like they were auditioning for a role in The Invisible Man. Joe Burrow, still recovering from a calf injury, looked like he was playing Madden on rookie mode.
- Howell threw 2 TDs and 2 INTs, which is basically the NFL version of “I tried.”
- Chase Young recorded one sack and three motivational speeches.
- Ron Rivera challenged a play that wasn’t reviewable, just to feel something.
