Sunday featured 12 one-score games, tying the single-week NFL record

Week 3 delivered 12 one-score games in the 15 games (and counting), which is tied for the most in a single week in NFL history, via NBC's Maria Taylor.

The fact that all 12 happened on one day made it feel all the more dramatic and momentous. After a blowout on Thursday, with the Falcons stomping the Packers , it was the day the NFL needed โ€“ especially with Caleb Williams out and the Bears potentially down to their third-string quarterback when they face the Eagles on Monday night.

The early slate of games on Sunday featured seven, maybe even eight decent or better games out of nine. The Steelers and Bengals treated us to an unexpected shootout . The Colts beat the Texans in a rock fight. Now, maybe Giants-Titans wasn't your one-score cup of tea, but there was something around the league for everyone.
