Welcome to the Week 3 grades!

The third week of the NFL season has turned into one of the wildest weeks of the year. During Sunday’s action, there were NINE non-offensive touchdowns scored. If you’re wondering how that happened, here’s the breakdown: 

• Four pick sixes
• Two blocked field goals returned for a touchdown
• Two punt return touchdowns
• One fumble return TD

This marks the first time in NFL history where there has been at least two blocked field goals returned for a touchdown, at least two punt return touchdowns and at least two pick sixes all on the same day. 

One of those blocked field goals came in Cleveland, where the Browns pulled off the most stunning win of the day with a 13-10 upset win over the Green Bay Packers.
