In Week 3 of the NFC East season, quarterback Marcus Mariota of the Washington Commanders delivered a significant upset by leading his team to victory over the Seattle Seahawks. Mariota's performance included three touchdown passes and efficient play, positioning him atop the division's quarterback rankings for the week. This surprising win highlighted the unpredictable nature of the NFL.
Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys experienced a narrow defeat against the Baltimore Ravens. Despite a solid statistical performance from Prescott, a critical error on the final offensive drive contributed to the loss. Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles faced offensive struggles, managing only seven points in their game, which dropped Hurts in the rankings.
Jameis Winston, leading the New York Giants, secured a win to improve the team's record to 2-1. However, his individual performance was statistically the least impressive among the NFC East quarterbacks for Week 3. Despite the win, Winston ranked last in the divisional quarterback evaluation for the week.
