Week 3 of the NFL season features a doubleheader on Monday Night Football. The action kicks off with the Jacksonville Jaguars facing the Buffalo Bills at 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN, followed by the Washington Commanders taking on the Cincinnati Bengals at 8:15 p.m. ET on ABC.
The Commanders-Bengals game is particularly notable as it showcases a matchup between two former LSU quarterbacks, a rare occurrence in the NFL. Cincinnati’s Joe Burrow, who won the Heisman Trophy and a national championship with the Tigers in 2019, will go up against Washington’s rookie Jayden Daniels, who secured the Heisman in 2023 before being selected second overall in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Historically, this marks just the fifth instance of two LSU Tiger quarterbacks competing against each other in the NFL, with the previous four matchups occurring between the Miami Dolphins and the Baltimore Colts in 1980 and 1981.
