Top 10 NFL Week 3 Takeaways

10) The first play that Brandon Jacobs was on the field ended with a pick, the second in a brawl, and as the Giants commited multiple idiotic unsportsmanlike penalties and turnovers in a remarkably ugly home loss to the Titans, it's fair to say that he's infused them all with his warrior spirit

9) If the Ravens want to be considered as a big-time defense and Super Bowl contender, they really shouldn't be giving up 144 yards rushing to the immortal Peyton Hillis

8) Not only does Bill Belichick hate you and your fantasy football team, but as the use of eight different runners shows, he's actively trying to end the game entirely

7) After two weeks of utter uselessness, CJ Spiller scored two touchdowns against the Patriots, mostly to make his (former?) fantasy owners finish the suicide attempt

6) The most shocking part of the Niners 31-3 loss to Matt Cassel and the Chiefs is that it actually diminished their chances to win the NFC West

5) The Saints overjoyed every NFL fan who hates that whole Icing The Kicker timewaste by having their blocked field goal disallowed, leading to the Falcons' game-winner

4) Fox's Jimmy Jackson appeared on camera with a rasping and ill voice, which made the quality of his braying jackassery poignant

3) Garrett Hartley is learning that multiple 40-yard field goals to win a Super Bowl don't mean a whole lot much when you miss game winners in the following year

2) San Diego showed that you can lose to a terrible team when you have nearly 250 more yards of offense, if you just give up multiple touchdowns on special teams, have three times the amount of penalties, turn it over 5 times, fail repeatedly in the red zone, and just generally embrace your inner Norvness

1) The Raiders and Cardinals combined for 4 turnovers, 18 penalties, 227 penalty yards, insane play-calling, overwhelming stupidity and three missed field goals, the last two possible game-winners, in a game that, sadly, someone had to win
