TEXAS, Sporting Alert – NFL scores and results on Week 3, following the games that took place on Sunday, September (27).
There were victories for the likes of the Denver Broncos, New England Patriots and the Carolina Panthers.
NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS 51, JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS 17
Tom Brady was again on cruise mode, as the New England Patriots picked up another one-sided victory in Week 3, after hammering the Jacksonville Jaguars 51-17 on Sunday.
Brady, who came into the game with over 750 passing yards and seven touchdowns, extended his good run in the early season with another impressive performance on his way to becoming the fourth quarterback in NFL history to throw 400 touchdown passes.
The veteran quarterback threw for 358 yards and two touchdowns on 33 of 42 passes for the Patriots (3-0) who tallied 471 total yards on the day.
Stephen Gostkowksi, who was successful at putting away the extra point on all six Patriots touchdowns, extended his streak to an NFL record 425 in a row.
He also had three field goals in the contest.
"That takes a lot of games, a lot of snaps to do that. That's certainly a tribute to both of them, the durability, longevity, consistent production they've had," New England coach Bill Belichick said.
"They had a good day, as they've had in many, many days throughout their career. I feel really fortunate to have those guys on my team."
Meanwhile, Rob Gronkowski caught four of his seven targets for 101 yards, while Julian Edelman caught eight passes for 85 yards.
CAROLINA PANTHERS 27, NEW ORLEANS SAINTS 22
At the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, athletic quarterback Cam Newton threw for 315 yards and two touchdowns, while running for a score, and the Carolina Panthers defeated the New Orleans Saints 27-22 to stay undefeated this season.
Newton, who found Greg Olsen on two 11 yard touchdowns, was 20 of 33 on passes, while running for another 33 yards in the win for the Panthers (3-0).
Olsen took eight catches for 134 yards, with Ted Ginn Jr. finishing with four catches for 93 yards for Carolina.
Luke McCown, who started in place of the injured Drew Brees, went 31 of 38 on pass attempts for 310 yards with one interception, but the Saints (0-3) fell to a third defeat in a row.
MINNESOTA VIKINGS 31, SAN DIEGO CHARGERS 14
Adrian Peterson ran for 126 yards and two touchdowns in three quarters and the Minnesota Vikings (2-1) picked up a 31-14 victory over the San Diego Chargers (1-2).
Peterson, who scored his first two touchdowns of the season, led his team on offense on the day and finished the game with 20 carries.
Teddy Bridgewater completed 13 of 24 passes for 121 yards and linebacker Chad Greenway scored on a 91-yard interception return for the Vikings, who have now on two in a row after losing the season opener to the San Francisco 49ers.
Philip Rivers went 21 of 34 on passes for 246 and a touchdown, before he was replaced by Kellen Clemens midway through the fourth quarter.
DENVER BRONCOS 24, DETRIOT LIONS 12
Peyton Manning threw for 324 yards and two touchdowns, including one for 45-yards to Demaryius Thomas on fourth down with 5 seconds left in the first half, and the Broncos beat the Detroit Lions 24-12 to stay undefeated this season.
Manning, who also passed to Owen Daniels for an 11-yard touchdown with 2:28 remaining in the game, was 31 of 42 on passes in the win for Denver (3-0), which starts the season with three straight victories for the first time since the 2013 season when the club made it all the way to the Super Bowl.
