The Vikings and the Kansas City Chiefs play next on the schedule, while the Texans and the Broncos end the schedule on Saturday.

The Week 3 schedule started off with the Philadelphia Eagles beating the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night and things then picked up on Friday with the New England Patriots beating the Carolina Panthers, which was a rematch of one of the best games of the season last year. The Panthers won that game at home on a controversial late call that didn't go for the Patriots and now NE got some revenge and both of these teams should be in the playoffs this year.
The New York Giants and NY Jets played a shootout on Friday at MetLife Stadium with the G-Men coming out on top in the Snoopy Bowl, while the Detroit Lions squeaked by the Jacksonville Jaguars in a close matchup and now Chad Henne will be starting over Blake Bortles this season. The Green Bay Packers won against the Oakland Raiders, while the Seattle Seahawks dominated at home against the Chicago Bears.
