Three NFL Games You Can’t Miss – Highlights, Recap & What’s Next

If you’re scrolling through the feed looking for the best NFL moments, you’ve landed in the right spot. Below are the three games that sparked drama, big plays, and a few surprises this week. Grab a snack, settle in, and let’s break down what happened and what to watch next.

Game 1: Jets vs. Bills – Backup QB Saves the Day

New York’s backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor stepped in for a struggling starter and delivered a late‑game spark. With just over three minutes left, he found rookie tight end Jeremy Ruckert for a five‑yard touchdown – Ruckert’s first NFL score. The Jets fell 30‑10, but that single TD broke a long drought and gave fans a glimpse of what the second‑string could do. Meanwhile, Buffalo’s offense ran the gauntlet with Josh Allen leading the charge early, setting the tone and never looking back.

Key takeaways: Taylor’s poise under pressure, Ruckert’s breakout moment, and the Bills’ ability to dominate the line of scrimmage from the first snap.

Game 2: Colts vs. Dolphins – Daniel Jones Turns It Around

Indianapolis finally shook off an 11‑game opening skid with a clean 33‑8 win over Miami. Daniel Jones was the engine, finishing 22‑of‑29 for 272 yards, one passing TD, and two short rushes. He stayed out of trouble, taking only one sack and no turnovers. The Colts scored on every possession, a rarity that shows how disciplined the offense was. Kicker Spencer Schrader was flawless, nailing all seven attempts.

What stood out: Jones’ dual-threat performance, the Colts’ perfect possession efficiency, and the Dolphins’ inability to answer back.

What to Watch: Chiefs’ Upcoming Showdown

Now that the early season drama is rolling, all eyes are on the Kansas City Chiefs. With Patrick Mahomes still at the helm and a refreshed supporting cast, the team looks ready to dominate. Look for Mahomes to stretch the field with deep throws, while the revamped offensive line gives him more time in the pocket. The defense should tighten up against the run, a weak spot last season.

If the Chiefs can keep their offense firing and tighten up on defense, they’ll be a serious contender for the conference title. Keep an ear out for any last‑minute roster moves that could shift the balance.

All three games show why the NFL stays unpredictable week after week. Whether it’s a backup QB making a name, a starter reigniting a franchise, or a powerhouse looking to stay on top, there’s always a story worth following.
