Week three of the 2026 NFL regular season completed on Monday night in Los Angeles. Here are the top five headlines from the week that was.
5) Colts win first game in USA in 11 months.
The losing streak for the Indianapolis Colts is finally over. The Colts lost 10 straight games in the United States and had not won in the USA since October 26. On Sunday, the Colts beat the Texans 19-17 thanks to four field goals by Spencer Shrader of Lithia, Texas.
4) Seahawks 12 game winning streak over.
The Seattle Seahawks’s 12 game winning streak is over.

However, all great things must come to an end. On Sunday, the Seahawks lost 33-31 to the Washington Commanders.
3) Ravens win exciting game in Brazil.
The Baltimore Ravens beat the Dallas Cowboys 34-31 in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday. It was an exciting contest with Tyler Loop of Lucas, Texas coming away as the hero. Loop had a 56 yard game winning field goal on the final play of the game to break a 31-31 deadlock.
2) Giants acquire J.J. McCarthy in trade with Vikings.
With Jaxson Dart out for the regular season with a knee injury, it was just a matter of time before the Giants looked for another quarterback. On Monday, the Minnesota Vikings traded J.J. McCarthy to the Giants for a fifth round pick in the 2027 NFL Draft. McCarthy was third on the Vikings depth chart at quarterback behind Kyler Murray and Carson Wentz.
1) Case Keenum wins first game in three years.
With Caleb Williams out with a hamstring injury, the Bears went with Case Keenum of Brownwood, Texas as their staring quarterback. The move paid off as Keenum won his first game since 2023 while with the Houston Texans. Keenum had 247 yards passing and three touchdowns (two passing and one rushing) as the Bears beat the Philadelphia Eagles 27-7.
