If you love anxiety-inducing games of football, Week 3 of the NFL season was everything you could have hoped for, although it didn’t start out that way.

Week 3 kicked off on Thursday in Foxborough, Massachusetts, with the Houston Texans (2-1) embarrassing themselves by laying an egg against the undefeated New England Patriots (3-0), who won 27-0 despite trotting out their third-string quarterback, rookie Jacoby Brissett. Is it time to start moving Bill Belichick and company into a permanent room in the Hall of Fame?

Sunday brought the action-packed, tight games, along with a few heated divisional matchups:

The New York Giants (2-1) and Washington Redskins traded back-and-forth blows, with an astounding four lead changes in the second half. The much-anticipated rematch between cornerback Josh Norman and wide receiver Odell Beckham, Jr. was pretty conservative until the fourth quarter, when Beckham made a series of impressive catches. In the end, Washington (1-2) got their first win of the season, 29-27 by way of a late Eli Manning interception. Beckham took the loss pretty hard:

The Detroit Lions (1-2) almost pulled off an upset after being down 31-10, but a little Aaron Rodgers late game magic earned the Green Bay Packers (2-1) a 34-27 victory. They may have taken the loss, but Marvin Jones, Jr. is proving that life after Megatron (Calvin Johnson, Jr.) isn’t so bad after all:

In non-divisional action, the Baltimore Ravens had an insane game versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. With a little less than four minutes left in the fourth quarter, a Joe Flacco interception led to a Blake Bortles interception which led to another Joe Flacco interception which then led to a blocked field goal in the favor of the Ravens. In the end, Bortles’ turnovers proved to be the deciding factor as Baltimore (3-0) beat the Jaguars (0-3) 19-17:

The Miami Dolphins (1-2) continue to look clueless as a whole, as the less-talented Cleveland Browns (0-3) team, quarterbacked by third-string rookie Cody Kessler, fought all the way to a 24-24 tie. They had the chance to win the game when they recovered a Ryan Tannehill fumble with 15 seconds left in the game, but the Browns will Brown, and kicker Cody Parker missed the potential game-winning 46-yard field goal. The team then lost 30-24 in overtime:

The San Diego Chargers (1-2) were seemingly in control late in the game against the Indianapolis Colts (1-2) until the unthinkable happened – T.Y. Hilton took a simple slant route (after running through a tackle attempt) 63 yards for the go-ahead score. Then, Chargers rookie tight end Hunter Henry fumbled a first down catch, and Andrew Luck, having completed another comeback, knelt down to seal the victory 26-22:

Unfortunately for Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers (1-2), the Minnesota Vikings (3-0) defense came to play, manhandling them on the way to a 22-10 victory. But, luckily for us, Newton brought out a new hat for his post-game press conference:
