1. Week 3 Takeaways -DKrom: Ben Johnson showed us how special he is, plus Sean Payton got revenge against Sean McVay in eerily similar fashion…and it proves why every penalty called on the field needs to be reviewable via Replay Assist -Hal: So many things we thought would happen did not, and vice versa 2.

Challenge Flags: -DKrom: Broncos...start getting leads and building them earlier...or else you won't even sniff the playoffs/Raiders...SHOCK THE WORLD!! -Hal: All five 3-0 teams (49ers, Bills, Chiefs, Vikings, Raiders)...PROVE ME WRONG and stay undefeated
