Josh Allen delivers (again) In the opening weeks of the season, Josh Allen has performed at an extremely high level. Against the Rams on Sunday, he did it again. Buffalo got out to a dominant lead before LA fought their way back, sneaking in front. It fell on Allen to save his side - and that is exactly what he did. He drove his side down the field, coming up with the crucial touchdown pass to secure a 35-32 win, taking the Bills to 3-0. It was not perfect from Allen, who made a couple of mistakes. However, he ended the game with over 300 passing yards, four touchdown throws, a rushing touchdown and ultimately a win. Allen is having some season.

After an uninspiring first half, quarterback Mitch Trubisky was benched for Nick Foles who got the offense moving immediately. Foles threw for three touchdowns and energised an otherwise lacklustre offense. The Bears do not feel like a 3-0 team, but they are after winning all three of their matches by just four points apiece. Can they keep it up against the Colts next week?

Having given up a seemingly unassailable lead last week against the Cowboys, the Falcons conspired to throw away another victory on Sunday. The Bears trailed by 16 points but still came out victorious after a dramatic second half. After two crushing back-to-back defeats for Atlanta, they desperately need to find a way to shift the momentum and get themselves over the line for a win.
