beat in week 3 has now become the talk of the town amongst loyal fans that have
seen 6 teams play more poorly than ever before. Week 3 of the NFL season has
proven that even a fan favorite team can fall from grace.
Here is a recap on the top 6 worst beat down week 3 NFL
games.

St.
Louis Rams
7 – Dallas Cowboys 31
The Cowboys defense shut down a sluggish Rams offensive
line, and their QB faired no better on his own accord. Tony Romo rebounded back
from taking a beating in week 2 against a stout Kansas City defense in which
the Cowboys were defeated by only one point.
Houston Texans 9 – Baltimore Ravens 30
It came to no surprise to Ravens Fans that it would be a
matter of time before the Ravens defense would rise to the occasion, but it
came at an unfortunate time for the Texans – as they shut down Matt Schaub air
attack.
Arizona Cardinals 7 – New Orleans Saints 31
Drew Brees air attack proved to be doom for a struggling
defensive line in week 3. The Saints are getting back to their old style of
whip ‘em up defense and that only means trouble for their next opponent in week
4.
New
York
Giants 0 – Carolina Panthers 38
The New Giants whole team put on a pitiful display in week 3
– as their lackluster performance against the Panthers is one of their worst outings
since Eli Manning took over the QB helm in 2004. The Panthers defense played a
sparkling game, and they will have time to cherish this whip down as they take
this upcoming bye week to study film for their bout against the Arizona Cardinals.
Jacksonville Jaguars 17 – Seattle Seahawks 45
When you have a quarterback such as Russell Wilson that can
throw on the run, and is also very mobile in the pocket, it was a disaster in
the making for the Jaguars offensive linemen. The Seahawks are a complete team
both on offense and defense, but their next matchup against a solid Houston
Texans defense in week 4 will be another test for Russell Wilson.
Chicago Bears 40 – Pittsburgh Steelers 23
Jay Cutler has taken a lot of flak throughout his playing
time in Chicago, but somehow he has
managed to help his team win some really thrilling games in 2013. The Bears
defense has risen to the occasion several times this season, and that is why
they remain undefeated.
