What happened: Sam LaPorta, Dalton Kincaid and Juwan Johnson are tied for second with seven receptions of 15-plus yards. Isaiah Likely and Mike Gesicki follow with six apiece.

Why it matters: The five-catch gap in only three games played separates Bowers from every other tight end. That volume of chunk plays stretches defenses and opens underneath routes.

What to watch: Whether Bowers extends the lead with a fourth game will set the early separator.
