There are only four unbeaten teams left in the NFL heading in to Monday night, and three of those teams won again on Sunday afternoon. Starting out west, the Los Angeles Rams rolled again at home, winning the battle of Los Angeles with a 35-23 victory over the Chargers. Jared Goff threw for 354 yards and three touchdowns, while Todd Gurley ran for 105 yards and a touchdown in the first meeting between the two teams since they relocated to L.A.
Goff completed 29-of-36 passes for the Rams, who recorded 521 yards as a team, as Robert Woods had two touchdown catches and Cooper Kupp had one. The Rams got going early on with a blocked punt by Cory Littleton in the end zone, which was recovered by Blake Countess for a score. Phillip Rivers threw for 226 yards and two touchdown passes to Mike Williams, but the Chargers dropped to 1-2 on the season.
Meanwhile, another high-powered offense is found in Kansas City, as the Chiefs improved to 3-0 on Sunday with a 38-27 win over the San Francisco 49ers. Patrick Mahomes stayed hot with 314 yards passing and three touchdowns without turning the ball over, as he now has 13 touchdowns without an interception this season. He surpassed Peyton Manning for the most touchdown passes in the first three games of a season, as Manning set that mark in 2013.
Mahomes found Sammy Watkins, Chris Conley, and Demetrius Harris in the end zone on Sunday, as the Chiefs' offense continued to produce in a major way. Kansas City is now just the third team in NFL history to score at least 38 points in each of their first three games, joining the 2007 New England Patriots and the 1967 Baltimore Colts. The Niners trailed by as many as 28 points, and they did lose starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo late in the contest. The team feared it was an ACL injury after the game, as they dropped to 1-2 on the year.
And one of the more surprising teams early on this season is the 3-0 Miami Dolphins, as they remained unbeaten with a 38-20 win over the now 0-3 Oakland Raiders. Ryan Tannehill threw for 289 yards and three touchdowns, and was helped out in a unique way by his receiver, Albert Wilson. The receiver not only threw a touchdown pass 52 yards early on in the fourth, but then sealed it with a 74-yard touchdown catch late in the fourth.
The trick plays late in the game helped the Dolphins improved to 3-0 for just the third time since 1998, as this win comes despite trailing by 17 minutes in the time of possession category. The win for Miami sends the Raiders to 0-3 for the first time since 2014, which is the season they started 0-10. The loss for Jon Gruden's team comes even with 345 passing yards for Derek Carr. Wilson took over the headlines for the Dolphins, as he is just the fourth player with a receiving touchdown and throwing touchdown of at least 50 yards in the same game.
