RALEIGH, N.C. - #QBU was well-represented during week three of the NFL preseason. Â Russell Wilson, Philip Rivers and Mike Glennon were accurate and influential in their teams' victories.
Â
Wilson continued his stellar preseason play, going 13-19 for 200 yards and one touchdown, as the Seattle Seahawks prevailed 26-13 over the Kansas City Chiefs. Philip Rivers was also impressive in the Los Angeles Chargers' 21-19 win over the Los Angeles Rams, as he completed 6-6 passes for 85 yards and one touchdown.
Â
Â
Not to be outshone, Mike Glennon turned in his best performance of the preseason, connecting on 11-18 passes for 134 yards and one TD in the Chicago Bears' 19-7 triumph over the Tennessee Titans.
Â
Matt Dayes continued to show promise in the early stages of his NFL career, contributing 3 carries for 13 yards in the Cleveland Browns' 13-9 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Â
Steven Hauschka converted his only extra point attempt for his new team: the Buffalo Bills
Â
Preseason week three also saw two former Wolfpack defensive standouts go head-to-head, with Jack Tocho's Minnesota Vikings prevailing 32-21 over Dontae Johnson's San Francisco 49ers in a hard-fought contest. Johnson contributed two tackles, while Tocho added one assist

Also on the defensive side, Juston Burris was a bright spot for the New York Jets in a 32-31 loss to the New York Giants, finishing the contest with four tackles and an interception. Rookie Josh Jones also stood tall for the Green Bay Packers in their 17-20 loss to the Denver Broncos, as he recorded four tackles, two assists and forced one fumble in an effort that had the Cheeseheads excited about his potential.
Â
Â
Audie Cole contributed two tackles during the Jacksonville Jaguars' 24-23 loss to the Carolina Panthers, and T.Y. McGill of the Indianapolis Colts added one assist in a 19-15 win against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Earlier in the week, Cole then signed with the New Orleans Saints and Earl Wolff signed with the Indianapolis Colts.

I feel like Russell Wilson is still so underrated sometimes. Makes throws that look impossible routinely. pic.twitter.com/a2fcPqur5G
