Deep dives
Josh Allen dominates in big division win
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen had an outstanding performance, throwing for 320 yards and four touchdowns, while also adding a rushing touchdown in a dominant win against the Miami Dolphins. Allen's accuracy and playmaking ability were on full display as he torched the Dolphins defense and showcased his status as one of the league's top quarterbacks.
Ohio State quarterbacks shine in week four
Both Justin Fields and CJ Stroud, quarterbacks for Ohio State, had impressive outings in week four. Fields threw for 335 yards and four touchdowns, displaying his ability to make big plays downfield. Stroud continued his impressive start to the season with 306 yards and two touchdowns, solidifying his status as a rising star in college football. Ohio State's quarterback duo showed tremendous talent and potential, giving fans hope for continued success.
Falcons struggle due to poor quarterback play
The Atlanta Falcons' struggles can largely be attributed to their ineffective quarterback play. Desmond Ritter had a poor performance, failing to effectively utilize weapons like Kyle Pitts and Drake London. Ritter's lack of accuracy and inability to get the ball to playmakers hindered the Falcons' offense, leading to a disappointing loss. The Falcons must evaluate their quarterback position and make changes to increase their chances of success in the future.
The Rams' surprising competitiveness
The Rams have been surprisingly competitive and have played better than expected, even without their star quarterback Matt Stafford performing at his best. Pukka Nakua has emerged as a standout player, filling in for the injured Cooper Kupp. With a solid offense and a strong defense, the Rams have been able to win games and remain competitive, exceeding expectations for the season.
Mixed performances from struggling teams
The Chicago Bears' coaching decisions have come under scrutiny as they blew a 21-point lead and lost to the winless Denver Broncos. Matt Nagy's job security is in question as the team's performance has been inconsistent. Additionally, the Washington Commanders missed out on a potential win against the Philadelphia Eagles by opting for a PAT to send the game to overtime instead of going for a two-point conversion. This decision by Ron Rivera has raised some doubts about their ability to capitalize on opportunities to secure victories.
