NFL Research spotlights the best nuggets from each slate of games. Here are the most eye-popping statistical accomplishments from Week 3 of the 2025 NFL season.

The Colts lead the NFL with 103 points through three weeks. That’s right, the No. 1 scoring offense in the NFL is led by Daniel Jones.

Those 103 points are more than any Peyton Manning-led Colts team ever scored through the first three games of a season.

On top of that, Indianapolis has punted just once, the fewest punts through three games by any team in the Super Bowl era. The only clubs to start 3-0 and punt fewer than five times while doing so are the 2025 Colts and the 2007 Patriots. it’s still to be determined if Jones texted Rigoberto Sanchez anything about not needing to punt much this year, but if he did, that has aged pretty well so far.

Speaking of the man under center for the record-breaking Colts, the Giants (and briefly Vikings) castoff has looked like the perfect fit in Shane Steichen’s system. Through three weeks, Jones has three passing touchdowns, three rushing touchdowns and — most importantly — zero giveaways. No player in the Super Bowl era has ever began a season hitting those marks.
