Cover 32: Chargers 0-3 start inches toward full reset, plus game balls, biggest gaffes from Week 3
CBS Sports recap column flags the Chargers' 0-3 start, Marcus Mariota's strong Week 3 outing, and a developing Drake Maye problem in New England.
Tyler Sullivan dives into all the biggest items from Week 3 in the NFL, including the Chargers' egregious start, Marcus Mariota shining, and the Patriots' Drake Maye problem
Sharp take
Sharp SixHoldA recap column doesn't change your lineup, it just narrates it. Maye is at 8.8 points a week ago on the road as a 7-point underdog, and that's the actual problem, not the framing of it. Mariota's 22.2 was a nice one-off but he is still a streamer, not a QB1 you plan around. Hold Maye if he's your guy, there's no bench alternative worth the churn, but stop expecting weekly ceiling from a team getting run off the field.
