NFL scores Week 3: Live results, highlights from Sunday's games image

This week will be one of the first in quite some time where none of Drew Brees, Ben Roethlisberger or Eli Manning starts under center in the NFL. 

All three quarterbacks are out, with Roethlisberger sidelined the rest of the season with an elbow surgery, Brees out for a few weeks with thumb surgery  and Manning benched in favor of the rookie. Instead, Pittsburgh will play Mason Rudolph, New Orleans will play Teddy Bridgewater and New York will play Daniel Jones.
