Week 3 of the Sunday afternoon slate is jam-packed with 13 games, nine in the 1 p.m. ET window and four in the 4 p.m. portion. Five divisional matchups that include Colts at Titans, Falcons at Panthers, Texans at Jaguars, Broncos at Chargers and an NFC West showdown for first place with the Cardinals at 49ers.<\/p>\n

The early afternoon slate also includes a big NFC clash between the Rams and Eagles in a battle to stay undefeated. Coming into Week 3, 10 teams remain undefeated with two matchups involving teams who are yet to fill the loss column.<\/p>\n

A few of these afternoon slate matchups on Sunday will be missing some major quarterback star power. Cincinnati and Minnesota will feature two back up quarterback’s. Joe Burrow will miss at least the next three months’ worth of action with a turf toe injury (and shoulder), while J.J. McCarthy will miss Week 3 for the Vikings due to an ankle injury. Jets QB Justin Fields has also been ruled out for Sunday’s game in Tampa Bay.<\/p>\n

Jayden Daniels has a knee injury he’s trying to recover from and did not practice for the Commanders on Wednesday or Thursday, eventually ruled out. Niners QB Brock Purdy has been dealing with what’s been called a “variant of turf toe<\/a>,” and was limited in practice on Thursday, though he was also ruled out. San Francisco will also be without Pro Bowl tight end George Kittle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Two playoff teams from last season are already fighting to stay alive, with the Kansas City Chiefs<\/a> and Houston Texans looking to avoid starting the year 0-3. Division winners from year ago are currently pulling up the rear in the AFC’s West and South divisions.<\/p>\n

Since 1990, only four teams out of 162 have made the postseason after starting a season 0-3<\/a>. Eight other NFL teams are on the brink of watching the season slip away in Week 3 with a third consecutive loss to start the season, including the Dolphins, Bears, Browns and Jets.<\/p>\n
