The NFL Roundup Week 3 - The Most Fascinating Games to Watch on Sunday

​Written by John Edward Betancourt

Three weeks into the NFL season and the shine and polish of a new year and every team's ability to do as they please begins to diminish. There's enough tape on every quarterback and player now for opposing teams to handle them properly, as was evidenced by what the Patriots did to Brock Osweiler on Thursday Night.

It doesn't mean the games will suddenly lose any level of quality, it just means that things are about to get incredibly interesting. There will be adjustments that have to be made, at the player and coach level as gameplans change in the hopes of staying one step ahead of their opponent and because of that, we are in for some fascinating games tomorrow and here are the ones that we are keeping a close eye upon when kickoff rolls around.

DENVER BRONCOS AT CINCINNATI BENGALS

Now this game is a great example of how a team is going to have to find a way to win because Broncos QB Trevor Siemian is about to be in for the biggest test of his young career. He dealt with rookie cornerbacks in week one, a Colts secondary decimated to the point where they were ready to put in the waterboy in week two, but the Bengals...well they are healthy and raring to go against the defending champions. They've been studying everything Siemian has done the past two weeks and are no doubt ready to unleash a few surprises his way. Which means, we can expect the usual fierceness from the Denver D, but the offense, well they have to execute every play, avoid turnovers and hope that Siemian's calm and collect demeanor holds because the Bengals are going to throw everything at him but the kitchen sink.

BALTIMORE RAVENS AT JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS

This game is fascinating for several reasons, most of them on the Jaguars side of the ball. Specifically, the fact that the team has regressed this quickly into the season. They were their former selves last week against San Diego, playing like garbage and well...it feels like they all but gave up against the Chargers. Which means Baltimore, coming off of a huge comeback win against Cleveland will be looking for a way to keep Jacksonville rattled and in full mistake mode. That means we can expect a heavy run game when they're on offense to frustrate the Jags D and expect them to do everything they can to harass Blake Bortles and force a few turnovers from him as well. It will be up to Jacksonville to adjust accordingly and rise to the occasion, something we know they are capable of, but have yet to see them do. 

PITTSBURGH STEELERS AT PHILADELPHIA EAGLES

The Philadelphia Special is back this weekend as both teams from the Keystone State take the field and well, this game is out right fascinating simply because this may be a literal clash of the titans. The Eagles are rolling on the incredible play of their new QB Carson Wentz, while Pittsburgh's defense is playing some lights out football through the first two weeks. So what do you get when an immovable object and an unstoppable force square off? Quite possibly the best game of the week. The adjustments that will be made in this game to either figure out how to stop the Philly offense or wear out the Steeler defense are the key ones to look out for and it should be fun to see which team figures out the other one first, expect this one to come down to the wire. 

LOS ANGELES RAMS AT TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS 

Now this game will be the epitome of adjustments and necessary ones at that. The Los Angeles Rams outright stink on offense. They can't get the run game going, the passing game is non existent, it's their defense that's been their saving grace so far. Which means if they want to win this game, they have to force Jameis Winston to turn over the ball, and hope to hell that Case Keenum and Todd Gurley have figured out where the end zone is. As for Tampa Bay, their key adjustments are to stay consistent, and not get flustered. Arizona clearly got into their head last week, forcing Winston to throw four interceptions. If Tampa Bay can stay the course this week and wear down the Rams defense, they'll secure the win, and honestly, considering how bad the Los Angeles offense is at this point in time, I think they have the best chance of victory in this matchup, it's more about progress for the Rams...who could be looking at a long and disappointing season.
