Want to impress your pals when you gather to watch the Week 3 action Sunday? As we pored through the voluminous stack of notes prepared this week by the crack NFL Network staff for the NFL GameDay Morning crew to use, we pulled out a few nuggets you can use as fun facts or tough trivia:

Browns at Ravens:

» The Ravens outscored the Browns 50-3 in their two meetings last season and the Ravens defense outscored the Browns offense, 7-3, in those two meetings.

Cowboys at Texans:

» The last time these teams met, the Cowboys’ starting QB was Drew Bledsoe (2006). Tony Romo came off the bench in that game and recorded his first career pass attempt, completion, and TD (3-yd pass TD to Terrell Owens).

» Cowboys have the lowest percentage of run plays in the NFL this season (29.6 percent) and their 100 pass plays this season is 13 more than any other team in the NFL.

49ers at Chiefs:

» The 49ers have not won at KC since 1982, a 26-13 victory in which Hall of Fame 49ers head coach Bill Walsh defeated Hall of Fame Chiefs head coach Marv Levy.

Lions at Vikings:

» The Lions have lost their last 21 road games and with a loss at Minnesota would tie for the third longest road losing streak in NFL history. But the Lions already own the record, having lost 24 straight road games from 2001-2003.

» In his previous 18 years as a starter, Brett Favre has only started the season 0-3 once (0-4 in 2005).
