3.) Denver Broncos (3-0)

Peyton Manning and the Broncos picked up where they left last week against the Kansas City Chiefs. In the Broncos’ win, Manning totaled 324 passing yards and two passing touchdowns. Manning’s two favorite targets once again played well, as Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders combined for 15 receptions and 179 receiving yards.

The Broncos did struggle to run the ball against the Lions, but Manning showed that he can still carry the load when they need him too.

2.) Green Bay Packers (3-0)

The Green Bay Packers have emerged as the team to beat in the NFC after impressive wins against the Seattle Seahawks and the Kansas City Chiefs. In Week 3, Aaron Rodgers had a special game against a good Chiefs’ defense.

In the win, Rodgers totaled 333 passing yards and five passing touchdowns. Eddie Lacy was able to play after leaving early in Week 2 with an injury. Lacy wasn’t asked to do a whole lot, but he totaled 46 rushing yards on 10 carries.

Rodgers is looking like he is in MVP mode once again in 2015.

1.) New England Patriots (3-0)

The Patriots handled their business once again in Week 3 with an impressive win at home against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Tom Brady continued his great start to the season, as he totaled 358 passing yards and two passing touchdowns.

To no surprise, Rob Gronkowski had another monster game with four receptions and 101 receiving yards. The Patriots’ offense is running like a well-oiled machine, and now the only question is who can stop them?
