NFL Week 3 grades: Packers earn an ‘A’ in Malik Willis revenge game, Browns get a ‘D’ for shocking loss

Welcome to the Week 3 grades!

The third week of the NFL season has turned into one of the wildest weeks of the year, and that’s mostly because underdogs keep winning every game. Week 3 was filled with upsets and one of the biggest ones cam from the New York Giants, who beat the Browns as a 6.5-point underdog. Not to be outdone, the Broncos won as a 6-point underdog, and it’s starting to feel like the 2024 season is turning into the year of the big underdog. 

The Rams continued the trend of wins by big underdogs when they beat the 49ers 27-24 as a 6-point underdog. The Rams won the game despite trailing by two touchdowns in the second half. 

Through the 4 p.m. games on Sunday, underdogs of six points or more are now 9-1-2 against the spread on the season and 7-5 straight-up. 

Of course, you’re not here to talk about underdogs, you’re here for grades, so let’s get to them.
