Bama in the NFL: Week 3 Recap

Week three has come and gone. Big plays, big games, big wins. Here's everything that happened for the tide this week.

Eagles - 15 vs. Saints - 12

Jalen Hurts (Eagles) - Turnovers continue to be the main issue for this offense outside of injuries. Hurts threw for over 300 yards but that came without a touchdown, and with one interception. He also had a fumble. With AJ Brown out again it all fell on Smitty and Goedert to move the chains through the air. Jalen was able to get out of New Orleans with a win and a big one within the NFC.

DeVonta Smith (Eagles)  - Catching 7 balls for 79 yards, a decent line for Smitty who was being shadowed by Lattimore. He was there in the big times when they needed to move the chains. He went down at the end of the game with a big hit, sustained after the catch, to his head. He did not return to the game as it was confirmed to be a head injury and he will undergo concussion protocol to determine his status for next week's game.

Packers - 30 vs. Titans - 14

Josh Jacobs (Packers) - Going 43 yards on 14 carries, it was a modest day for Josh. Relying on their defense in this game, they did not have to do much offensively, even without Love playing. The Packers got up in the first half and never looked back, using the run game to burn the clock in the second.

Calvin Ridley (Titans) - A tough day for this Titans offense. Will Levis is continuing to develop through his struggles at QB in a tough unforgiving league. This comes at the cost of Calvin. Catching one pass for nine yards was his line for the day. With Levis continuing to struggle it could be a long season for Ridley.

Lions - 20 vs. Cardinals - 13

Jahmyr Gibbs (Lions) - 16 carries for 83 yards and a receiving touchdown. A great game from Gibbs once again. The Lions continue to rely on his versatility, and boy did they use it in this game. His second straight game with over 100 scrimmage yards, expect his usage and efficiency to continue.

Jameson Williams (Lions) - A great game defensively by the Cardinals secondary. They prioritized keeping everything in front, limiting big plays over the top. This led to a tough line for Jamo garnering just one catch for nine yards, and what led to St. Brown getting most of the action across the middle for short/intermediate yardage gains. Still, a great player in a great offense so don't let this game fool you, Jamo will continue to ball.

Ravens - 28 vs. Cowboys - 25

Derrick Henry (Ravens) - This game was not mentioned in my week three look ahead due to the lack of Bama involvement and due to what seemed to be a close matchup, but I could not leave out the biggest star of the week for this. Rushing 25 times for 151 yards and two touchdowns. A great game from the king against, supposedly, a stout defense. Proving his worth and that he still runs the league, a wonderful showing from Derrick and one that he is no stranger to achieving.

Those are the players of week three that had some of the biggest impacts. Bama continues to dominate in the league with premiere players. Week four is coming quickly so check back Thursday for the week four outlook. Roll Tide and beat Georgia!
