Survivor pool horror show: More than 70% of players knocked out in Week 3 with Broncos, Panthers, Giants wins

For the third straight week of the NFL season, the survivor pool favorite has gone down.

Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos stunned the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a dominant 26-7 win at Raymond James Stadium in Florida on Sunday afternoon. The win marked the Broncos’ first of the season and the first of Nix’s career in the league.

Perhaps more importantly, the upset win eliminated almost 30% of Yahoo Sports survivor pool entries. An incredible 29.99% of entries still alive in Yahoo Sports survivor pools selected the Buccaneers to win on Sunday in one of the biggest picks of the weekend.
