Sunday featured 12 one-score games, tying the single-week NFL record
With one game to go in Week 3, it has been tied for the most closely contested games in league history.
Sunday's NFL games delivered a record-breaking 12 one-score matches, tying the highest number of such games in a single week of NFL history, according to NBC's Maria Taylor. The dramatic day followed a blowout on Thursday, when the Falcons dominated the Packers. After such a high-scoring start, the NFL seemed to have found the perfect balance, especially with Caleb Williams sidelined and the Bears potentially relying on their third-string quarterback.
Sunday's slate featured seven, perhaps eight, games that were at least decent out of the nine scheduled. The Steelers and Bengals provided an unexpected showdown, while the Colts edged past the Texans in a closely contested game. Some matchups, like the Giants-Titans, might not have been everyone's cup of tea, but the league had something for every fan.
The Rams- Broncos showdown on Sunday night proved to be the ultimate entree of the day's excitement, with the Rams taking a 16-0 halftime lead before the Broncos mounted a remarkable 30-10 comeback. The fourth quarter saw four lead changes, making it a thrilling final game of the day. Despite a controversial late-game penalty, the Broncos secured their victory.
