So what were some of the big NFL stories in week 3? The Ravens pulled off a last-second victory over the Cowboys in Rio de Janeiro thanks to the heroics of kicker Tyler Loop, while the Bengals lost a closely contested game against divisional rivals the Steelers. Elsewhere, the Raiders march on unbeaten with TE Brock Bowers pivotal in a 35-27 win over the Saints, and the 49ers overpowered the Cardinals thanks to the precision throwing of Brock Purdy. So did the performances on the NFL Retro Bowl '27 Championship leaderboard match the real-world?
Well, the Ravens-Cowboys matchup wasn’t as nearly as close as it was in real-life with the Ravens comfortably outscoring the Cowboys on the leaderboard, keeping their second place and knocking the Cowboys down one place to sixth. While the Bengals lost to the Steelers in real-life, on the leaderboard their fans powered them to an extremely close win over the Steelers that saw them climb a single place on the leaderboard. And they may be 3-0 in real-life, but on the leaderboard the Raiders are finding the going a little tougher, dropping three places to 28th after being comfortably out-scored by the Saints.
At the top of the table the 49ers continue to set a blistering pace, hugely out-scoring the Cardinals to keep a tight grip on the top spot. The chasing pack isn’t close behind though, with the Chiefs and the Lions both posting impressive scores to climb places. It’s still only week 3, and you the players can change everything as we enter Week 4! Show your support for your team & move them up the leaderboard by playing next week's game and setting the highest score you can.
Our weekly special mention for this week's highest individual score on the leaderboard goes to the Vikings fan who posted a score of 14,196! That might be the highest this season, so a round of applause and the title of week three MVP to you! Congratulations!
