Week 3 of the 2025 NFL season delivered a mix of thrilling wins and dramatic moments as several teams claimed their first victories. The Carolina Panthers, Chicago Bears, and Cleveland Browns all found success, with the Browns surprising the Green Bay Packers, the Panthers shutting out the Atlanta Falcons, and the Bears overcoming the Dallas Cowboys. Notable performances included Minnesota Vikings defensive back Isaiah Rodgers’ standout game against the Cincinnati Bengals, while Mac Jones kept the San Francisco 49ers unbeaten with a win over the Arizona Cardinals. Meanwhile, the Detroit Lions and Baltimore Ravens matchup brought additional drama, particularly with Cowboys’ George Pickens’ frustrated reaction to a missed catch that led to an interception.
