NFL Nation reporters react to all the action, answering the biggest questions coming out of each game. Here's what we learned from Week 3.

— Rookie Joshua Karty hit a 37-yard field goal with 2 seconds to play, and the Los Angeles Rams staged a spectacular late rally for a 27-24 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.

Led by a resurgent Sam Darnold, the Vikings pummeled the Texans 34-7 on Sunday to move to an unexpected 3-0 and up their margin of victory through three games to +55, second best in franchise history.
