NFL Week 4 was the wildest yet in the 2019 season and we’re covering it all from crazy games to unforgettable performances to weekly awards and more.
Did anyone else see that? That weird NFL Week 4? Excuse my overuse of the word, but everything from the plays to the scores was just weird.
Raise your hand if you thought the Buccaneers would beat the Rams, let alone by double-digit points. Who would have thought that the Chiefs-Lions game would be a shootout defined by offensive mistakes?
Did anyone say the Broncos would outscore the Patriots? Tell me if you predicted that games would end in 40-25 and 55-40, the first time those scores have ever been recorded. Did you predict Ricky Seals-Jones scoring more fantasy points than Tom Brady, DeAndre Hopkins and Odell Beckham Jr. combined?
Guess what, that’s just what happened on the field. Adam Thielen called out his passing game for not being able to throw, Vontaze Burfict got suspended for the season (finally) and Melvin Gordon is back.
I wish I could talk about all of it, but I do plan on sleeping this week. Never fear, for I’ll you can still expect the following in this week’s NFL Notebook:
- Challengers to the Dolphins’ ‘Tank For Tua’ campaign
- A game of “Who Wants a Quarterback?”
- A game of “Hot Potato”
- The (best friend of the) next great wide receiver
- A mini mock draft!
- Weekly awards and so much more.
Let’s start with the quarterback situations around the NFL after Week 4.
