Omaha Omaha, Hut Hut Hut! It’s been an exciting start to the NFL season with plenty of great action
and a number of top teams, and some not so familiar faces, being amongst the teams to make the early season running across the eight divisions of the NFL. A number of teams have achieved the coveted 3-0-0 record after their three games and the question here is how long can they keep that unbeaten run going?
With so many teams heading into week four with a solid start behind them, they will all have strong hopes of the playoffs, but with a number of crucial games for these teams coming up over the next six weeks or so, keeping that record intact as long as possible will be their best chance of reaching the end of season playoffs and hopefully, topping their division.
It’s certainly been an exciting start to the season in the NFL and as well as the teams that have made a better than expected start, fans have also been enjoying the action especially if they have enjoyed a flutter or two on the teams doing most of the winning.

Let’s take a look now at some of the teams that have started the season very well in the NFL and who have that longed for 3-0-0 unbeaten record.
NFL 3-0-0 Teams 2020 Season
AFC East – Buffalo Bills
Could the Bills dethrone the Patriots in the AFC East for what would be the first time in what seems to be a millennium? Josh Allen and his team have made a good start and with the Pats facing some very tough games in the next few weeks, the Bills could capitalise. The Bills have beaten the Jets, Dolphins and most impressively, the Rams, but after this week’s game with the Raiders it gets markedly tougher with back to back games against the 3-0-0 Titans and Chiefs.
AFC North – Pittsburgh Steelers
According to many experts, this was the division the Ravens were meant to stroll, but the Steelers have started the season well with wins over three 0-0-3 teams in the Giants, Broncos and Texans. Things get tougher this week against their old rivals the Tennessee Titans, but they then face two more teams in poor form in the Eagles and Browns before a potentially division-deciding clash with the Ravens on the 25th October.
AFC West – Kansas City Chiefs
A stunning win over the much-fancied and previously unbeaten Baltimore Ravens on Monday night 
propelled the Chiefs to 3-0-0 and has made then the clear Superbowl favourites once again. The Texans and Chargers have also been despatched, the latter only in overtime, but with games against the Patriots and Bills in the next few weeks, in amongst games against lesser teams, I think that the Chiefs unbeaten bandwagon could roll on for a good few more weeks yet.
AFC South – Tennessee Titans
Tennessee have not won any of their three games by big scorelines, indeed in two they have needed last gasp field goals to claim the win (against the Broncos and Vikings). They have also beat divisional rivals the Jaguars in a close one, but the Titans have come through all these tests with the win and that can only stand them in good stead going forward. Virus issues aside this week, they face a very tough test with games against the Steelers, Bills, Texans, Bears, Colts and Ravens in the next seven weeks which will likely decide their season.
NFC West – Seattle Seahawks
I think apart from the Chiefs, the Seahawks have been the most impressive team in the NFL so far this season. Wins over the Falcons, Patriots and Cowboys is an impressive CV heading into two relatively easy games against the Dolphins and Vikings, but then the action picks up with games against the Cardinals, 49ers, Bills, Rams and the Cardinals once again in successive weeks. How they go over that period will determine this division I feel.
NFC North – Green Bay Packers
The big scoring Packers have scored 122 points in their three games so far, averaging over 40 per game but their defense is a worry as they have shipped 85 points. That may be an issue against a team that can stop Aaron Rodgers and that could well come in the next few weeks with games with the Bucs, Texans 49ers and Colts on the horizon. However if they can outscore those teams, they could be set up for a very positive season.
NFC North – Chicago Bears
Perhaps the team that is the most surprising inclusion on this list after many tipped them not to enjoy a great season this year. However, the Bears have put together three fine performances to beat the Lions, the Giants and then the Falcons in three tightly fought contests. However, they will be much more tested in coming weeks with games against the Colts, Bucs, Rams, Saints and Titans all coming within a six week spell of matches that could well decide their season.
Will any of these teams go 4-0-0 after Matchday 4?
Let’s now take a look ahead to the Matchday 4 fixtures for all teams in the NFL to see who we think could start Matchday Five still holding an unbeaten record.
