Sam Darnold’s MVP run continues, Ravens save season with win in Dallas
Sports Seriously’s Mackenzie Salmon ‘overreacts’ to the biggest news from Sunday’s slate of games.

Let the second edition of the “Nathaniel Hackett Bowl” commence with a contest between the Denver Broncos (1-2) and the New York Jets (2-1).
An offense may in fact be in Denver; the Broncos surprised everyone when they went to Tampa Bay and completely outplayed the Buccaneers. Bo Nix had his first solid game of his young career, and it gives the signal-caller hope he can flourish in his first season.
Expectations are high in New York and the Jets showed how tough they can be when they manhandled the New England Patriots. Aaron Rodgers is looking comfortable with his strong defense, meaning they are headed toward a dangerous team to go up against.

New York looks like its offense has arrived, with Aaron Rodgers proficiently leading the operation. That said, the Broncos have been a surprise, with rookie Bo Nix playing very well under Sean Payton. His versatility as a dual threat should keep Denver, which also has a top-tier defense of its own, in the game.
Bo Nix is coming off the best game of his young career. But expect the Jets’ defense to dial up the pressure on the rookie QB. The Jets are on the verge of winning three in a row before they travel across the pond to London.
Don’t go against Bo!
The New York Jets are looking like the team they were expected to be when they got Aaron Rodgers. The defense limits Bo Nix and moves to 3-1 for the first time since 2015.
