NFL Week 3 was absolute chaos — and Maggie Gray has a LOT to say about it.
The biggest question: WHAT HAPPENED TO DRAKE MAYE?
The Patriots quarterback was an MVP runner-up and led New England to the Super Bowl last season. Three games into 2026, Maye has just one touchdown and six interceptions after a brutal 35-6 loss to Jacksonville. Is his shoulder still affecting him? Could the injury become a bigger issue? Or has the weight of expectations started to affect Maye’s confidence and decision-making?
Maggie also gives a STOCK DOWN to the Dallas Cowboys after their stunning 34-31 loss to the Ravens. Dallas had seven seconds to defend Lamar Jackson — and still allowed Jackson to hit Zay Flowers for 27 yards, setting up a 56-yard game-winning field goal.
The Los Angeles Chargers also get a STOCK DOWN after falling to 0-3 despite forcing FIVE turnovers from Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. Maggie asks whether Justin Herbert is making enough winning plays when the pressure is highest.
Then there’s a STOCK UP for Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy. The former Packers quarterback and head coach reunited in Pittsburgh, and the Steelers offense finally showed some explosiveness in a wild 30-27 win over Cincinnati.
Plus:
• The Houston Texans fall to 0-3 and the offense looks completely lost
• The Tampa Bay Buccaneers drop to 0-3 and Baker Mayfield suffers a dislocated right thumb that will be evaluated with an MRI
• The Las Vegas Raiders are 3-0 with Kirk Cousins — but Maggie is reserving judgment until they face Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in Week 4
• The biggest winners, losers and questions coming out of NFL Week 3
This is A Must Win Game with Maggie Gray, a podcast for sports fans who want strong opinions, big questions and honest conversations about the biggest stories in sports.
