2026 3GML Season - Week 4

Maye Runs Wild as Texans Beat Cowboys 21-13

HOUSTON — Apparently the solution to Houston's quarterback problems was to let Drake Maye become a running back.

Maye rushed for 106 yards and two touchdowns, providing the difference in the Texans' 21-13 victory over Dallas. Houston has now won two straight following its disastrous 0-2 start, climbing back to 2-2.

After firing offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey, the Texans have found new life under interim OC Dino Babers. Maye's development as a passer remains a question, but his legs gave Dallas plenty of answers it didn't like.

Packers Abandon Tank, Improve to 4-0 With 29-11 Win Over Buccaneers

TAMPA, Fla. — The tank is officially dead. Long live the playoff push.

Green Bay improved to 4-0 with a convincing 29-11 road victory over Tampa Bay, forcing GM SD to confront an unexpected reality: His rebuilding team might actually be a contender.

Malik Willis threw for 280 yards and a touchdown while adding 35 rushing yards, continuing to exceed expectations as the Packers' supposed bridge quarterback.

With the league's only undefeated record, Green Bay's front office is reportedly shifting its attention from accumulating 2027 draft picks to figuring out how to make a legitimate postseason run.

Somewhere, a meticulously organized 2027 draft board just got shoved into a desk drawer.

49ers Win Third Straight, Cruise Past Broncos 34-10

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The 49ers' Week 1 loss in Australia feels like a distant memory.

San Francisco dismantled Denver 34-10, winning its third consecutive game to improve to 3-1.

Jordan Love threw for 294 yards and a touchdown, adding 64 rushing yards and another score as the Broncos struggled to contain San Francisco's multidimensional offense.

After scoring 137 points over their last three games, the 49ers are beginning to resemble the offensive juggernaut that reached consecutive Super Bowls. The challenge remains proving they can finish the season as strongly as they've started this winning streak.

McCaffrey Powers Chargers Past Seahawks for First Win, 20-13

SEATTLE — The defending champions can finally exhale.

Los Angeles earned its first victory of the season with a 20-13 road win over Seattle, improving to 1-2-1 after a frustrating September.

Christian McCaffrey accounted for 127 total yards and two touchdowns, providing the offensive production the Chargers needed in a hard-fought victory.

After allowing 75 points in their first two games, the Chargers' defense held Seattle to just 13, offering an encouraging sign that last season's championship formula hasn't completely disappeared.

GM BD probably won't be planning another parade just yet.

But at least he can stop explaining why the defending Super Bowl champions haven't won a game.

2026 3GML Season - Week 3

Packers Stay Perfect, Beat Falcons 27-20

GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Packers' rebuilding season continues to go terribly wrong — at least according to the tanking plan.

Green Bay improved to 3-0 with a 27-20 home victory over Atlanta, powered by Ray Davis' 91 rushing yards and a touchdown. The Packers remain the 3GML's only unbeaten team, leaving GM SD with an increasingly awkward question: How do you rebuild a team that refuses to lose?

Chargers, Bills Battle to Wild 38-38 Tie

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — The defending champions finally avoided a loss. Unfortunately, they also avoided a win.

Los Angeles and Buffalo played to a 38-38 overtime tie, with both teams finding the end zone in the extra period. Matthew Stafford threw for 313 yards and three touchdowns, helping the Chargers improve to 0-2-1.

After a Super Bowl season defined by finishing games, the Chargers have now gone three weeks without finishing one with a victory.

Woolen's Pick-Six Lifts Texans Over Colts, 25-23

INDIANAPOLIS — Houston finally has a win, and once again, the defense deserves much of the credit.

Riq Woolen returned an interception 71 yards for a touchdown, providing a decisive spark in the Texans' 25-23 road victory over Indianapolis. After two frustrating home losses and an offensive coordinator change, Frank Ross' team improved to 1-2.

The offense remains a work in progress under interim coordinator Dino Babers, but Houston can finally spend a week discussing something other than a loss.

Warren Strengthens MVP Case as 49ers Beat Cardinals 37-19

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The 49ers have officially shaken off their Australian hangover.

San Francisco defeated Arizona 37-19, improving to 2-1 behind another dominant performance from Jaylen Warren, who rushed for 145 yards and two touchdowns.

After posting 152 yards and three scores against Miami, Warren has amassed 297 rushing yards and five touchdowns in just two weeks.

The early 3GML MVP front-runner isn't a quarterback. He's the running back who keeps making Kyle Shanahan's offense look unfair.
