NFL Preseason Week 3 Highlights: Mendoza Ready, Richardson Settles In

The third and final week of NFL preseason action concluded with notable performances from several players. Fernando Mendoza demonstrated readiness for play, although the Las Vegas Raiders are expected to start Kirk Cousins as their quarterback. Mendoza's preseason statistics may not reflect his potential, but he has shown improvement in his footwork and decision-making.

Meanwhile, Anthony Richardson Sr. appears to have found his footing with the Indianapolis Colts after a challenging period. His performance in the final preseason game against the Lions was marked by accuracy and control, completing 7 of 10 passes for 80 yards. Richardson's development is crucial as he remains a key player for the Colts.

In Green Bay, Jordan Love had the opportunity to call plays during a comeback victory against the Cardinals, leading to 18 points in the second half. This experience is expected to benefit both Love and head coach Matt LaFleur as they navigate future game situations. Additionally, the NFL is facing a center shortage, prompting teams to seek depth in this position as the season approaches.
