Week 3 consequence: Misplaced to Minnesota Vikings, 34-7
Brady’s ideas: “I do know they misplaced to Minnesota, however this crew nonetheless deserves to be within the high 5 proper now. C.J. Stroud — they have lots of offensive weapons — they are going to bounce again rapidly in opposition to the Jags. I do know their offensive line has a little bit room for enchancment. They’ve given up lots of sacks in the previous few video games. I do know this Texans crew, they are going to be in competition all season lengthy.”

Week 3 consequence: Defeated Miami Dolphins, 24-3
Brady’s ideas: “Do not sleep on the crew within the Pacific Northwest. Mike Macdonald, the first-year head coach, he is received them off to a 3-0 begin and he is rotated that protection. They’re within the high 5 within the league proper now. They ranked thirtieth final season. Geno [Smith], D.Ok. [Metcalf], trying so stable to start out the 12 months. However they are going to be examined — they head to Detroit on Monday evening to tackle the Lions. That is going to be a terrific sport.”

Week 3 consequence: Defeated Houston Texans, 34-7
Brady’s ideas: “Simply the way you scripted it. You lose your quarterback in free company, so that you draft one within the first spherical. He will get injured, so that you herald Sam Darnold [for] a 3-0 begin? It has been his fourth crew in 5 seasons. I am unable to say sufficient good issues about what I’ve seen from him this 12 months. And my previous teammate KOC, Kevin O’Connell. He might be the frontrunner — I do know that is early — for Coach of the 12 months. He is received them off to a 3-0 begin.
“And what about this Vikings protection? Sixteen sacks to steer the league to date this 12 months. Unbelievable job by Brian Flores. They have a giant sport in opposition to the Packers arising on Sunday. The NFC North goes to be lots of enjoyable to observe this 12 months.”

Week 3 consequence: Defeated Jacksonville Jaguars, 47-10
Brady’s ideas: “I do know typically it is arduous for me to say that, however when this offense is clicking, they’re so powerful to cease. We noticed it the opposite evening. They had been clicking — 47 factors and 34 within the first half. Josh Allen, he seems to be like the most effective model of Josh Allen. I like when he spreads the ball round and makes use of all of these weapons. He had 10 completely different gamers have catches. 4 had touchdowns.
“Their schedule will get more durable. They have three straight highway video games. They have the Ravens, they have the Texans, they have the Jets. We will see if they will maintain this offense going. ‘Sunday Evening Soccer’ this week, Josh and Lamar [Jackson]. I am unable to look ahead to that.”

Week 3 consequence: Defeated Atlanta Falcons, 22-17
Brady’s ideas: “I do know they have not seemed like the traditional dominant Chiefs, however they’re discovering methods to win, and nice groups try this. They at all times discover a means when it issues. This crew’s accomplished that. Patrick [Mahomes] has accomplished a terrific job. He is received a terrific reference to Rashee Rice in his second 12 months. An awesome job by Carson Steele filling in for [Isiah] Pacheco. He had 72 yards the opposite day for that offense.
“It is solely a matter of time earlier than that Patrick-Travis [Kelce] connection begins buzzing like at all times. It might be this Sunday in opposition to the Chargers in L.A.”
