Marcus Mariota’s resurgence, Justin Herbert’s struggles and Oregon’s NFL Week 3 winners and losers

Week 3 of the NFL season is nearly in the books, as only the Philadelphia Eagles and Chicago Bears are left to play on Monday Night. This Sunday was a day filled with Oregon Ducks calling game, whether it was with forced turnovers to end games or walk-off touchdowns. The Oregon Ducks in the NFL keep shining week after week, but there's one downer from the start of the season.

Justin Herbert and the Chargers' woes mark Los Angeles a massive loser of Week 3

The Chargers came into the season looking to compete for the Super Bowl with the offensive line finally healthy, but this season has been a disaster. Sunday saw the team fall flat in the 4th quarter, allowing the Bills to outscore them 14-3 to drop Los Angeles to 0-3 to start the season, dealing a massive blow to their playoff hopes.

Justin Herbert had another shaky game, finishing 20 of 34 passing for 226 yards with a touchdown and an interception. Herbert hasn't gotten a ton of help from his rushing attack, but he needs to play better if this team has any hope of turning things around.

6 Oregon Ducks who won the NFL's Week 3

Juwan Johnson strikes twice in close loss

The Saints had a great chance to move to 2-1, but fell to the Las Vegas Raiders in wild back and forth game. One of the biggest stars for the Saints was Oregon alum Juwan Johnson who caught 8 passes for 53 yards and a pair of touchdowns. While the Saints are 1-2, this team has more than enough talent to win the NFC South which has been a mess.

Kenyon Sadiq's big day

This season for the New York Jets is less about wins and more about seeing some promise from the young talent the team has quietly assembled. One of the most exciting pieces is rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq, who flashed his ability on Sunday. Sadiq hauled in 7 passes for 105 yards and his first receiving touchdown as the Jets offense is starting to look very exciting.

Marcus Mariota knocks off the defending champs

Jayden Daniels' injury last week thrust Marcus Mariota back into a starting role, and on Sunday he was tasked with facing the Seahawks. Mariota didn't post eye popping numbers, but he took care of the football while throwing for 3 touchdowns. The Commanders needed a win badly after a 0-2 start, and Mariota is going to help keep this team afloat.

Jevon Holland continues hot start, securing victory for Giants

After a shaky season last year, Jevon Holland has rebounded and is making an early case to be an All-Pro this season. Jevon Holland called game in the 4th quarter, picking off Cam Ward on 1st and goal to help the Giants hang on for a win in a Nor'easter. Holland already has 3 picks and 2 forced fumbles to start the year, and he's helped mask some major holes in the Giants secondary.

Derrick Harmon calls game

The day was filled with Oregon Ducks calling game as some of the best defenders in the league rose to the occasion. Derrick Harmon had a quiet game, but showed up in a big way with a strip sack of Joe Burrow to secure a massive divisional win for the Steelers.

Bo calls game

The first half for the Denver Broncos was an absolute mess, and it looked like the team may need to make a change at offensive coordinator. Instead, the Broncos came alive in the second half, even if it wasn't Bo Nix's best game. In the final minute, Bo Nix punched in the game winning touchdown, marking his 3rd of the game to stun the Rams.
