The NFL’s third week was filled with thrilling moments and unforgettable quotes from players and coaches. From humorous one-liners to brutally honest assessments, the postgame reactions did not disappoint.
After a sluggish start, the Eagles’ offense roared to life in the fourth quarter, securing a 15-12 victory over the Saints. At the heart of Philadelphia’s late surge was star running back Saquon Barkley, who scored twice and racked up 156 yards on the day. Teammate Mailata couldn’t contain his excitement, praising Barkley with a colorful endorsement.
In a stunning turnaround, quarterback Malik Willis has gone from second-string to starter in just a few short weeks. Now leading the Packers, Willis downplayed the significance of his recent win against his former team, the Titans, saying “all wins count the same.”
Not everyone was as reserved, however. Eagles safety Gardner-Johnson had no qualms about expressing his feelings after defeating his former team, the Saints. “We keep receipts… they got rid of me, I ain’t get rid of them,” he declared, referencing his departure from the team following the 2021 season.
The Vikings continued their hot streak with a dominant 34-7 win over the Texans, thanks in large part to quarterback Sam Darnold’s impressive performance. Coach Kevin O’Connell acknowledged the team’s loyal fans, joking that they deserved game balls for their support.
Finally, Broncos rookie Bo Nix earned his first NFL victory, leading his team to a convincing win over the Buccaneers. Coach Sean Payton praised Nix’s confidence, saying “certainly, he had more fun than he did in prior weeks.” With nine different players recording receptions, it was a true team effort for Denver.
