Three months ago Sean Payton said what Nathaniel Hackett did was “one of the worst coaching jobs in the history of the NFL”; Hackett started 2-1 last year. This year, the Broncos are the first team in NFL history to allow 5 rushing TDs and 5 passing TDs in a game. Dolphins broke 13 team or individual records in Week 3; they are averaging 43.3 points per game and 550.3 yards per game; they ran 71 plays meaning on average they scored a point almost every play. Andy Reid passed Tom Landry for 4th all-time in head coaching wins; Pete Carroll passed Mike Holmgren for 15th. Keenan Allen became the first player in NFL history to have 200 receiving yards and a passing touchdown in the same game. Sam Howell threw an interception in each quarter; this has only happened 4 times and this is the first time it wasn’t Jameis Winston. The oldest player on the Packers offense in Week 3 was Jon Runyan Jr. at 26 years old. There are currently four 0-3 teams in the NFL, they all play each other in Week 4 (CAR/MIN, DEN/CHI). With 458 yards Justin Jefferson has tied Wes Welker’s record for the most receiving yards in the first three games of a season. Browns have allowed an NFL-low 3.2 yards per play, best by an NFL defense through 3 games since 2000; they are also a +41 point differential which is their best start since 1989; they have also allowed -36 rushing yards before contact whereas the league average is +94.22 Since 2020 the Texans are 6-1 against the Jaguars and 6-37-1 against everyone else. Travis Kelce jersey sales spiked by nearly 400% after Taylor Swift attended the Chiefs game. Jalen Hurts passed Cam Newton for most rushing touchdowns by a QB in his first 50 NFL games. Matt Gay is the first kicker to make four 50+ yard FGs in one game. Gaming on the go doesn't have to mean resorting to playing on a small screen with your phone or using something like the Nintendo Switch. The Razer Blade 15 gaming laptop has more grunt than most, but it can also be an expensive addition to your gaming arsenal. Unless you take advantage of this new deal, that is. The deal in question will get you a new Razer Blade 15 for just $1,895, a price that is a massive $1,105 off the original $3,000 asking price.

Things start with the Intel Core i7 chip and continue to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti and then move on to the 16GB of RAM and 1TB solid-state drive that ship inside this gaming laptop. The large 15.6-inch display is a great addition, as is the fast 360Hz refresh rate, too.The laptop itself is surprisingly svelte, given its gaming prowess, and it comes with all the RGB lighting that you might expect from something with the Razer logo on the lid.The whole thing is powered by Windows 11, and there are plenty of ports to go around, including three Thunderbolt 4 ports, an HDMI 2.1 port and a DisplayPort 1.4... port.If that all sounds like something that you could work with, be sure to get your order in before it's too late. We don't know how long Best Buy will keep this deal around. Jokes for the Road Q: Whats the difference between Amy Winehouse and Captain Morgan? A: Captain Morgan comes alive when you add coke! Q.
