With most of the NFL’s Week 4 schedule in the books, it is time to take a look at some of the biggest winners and losers from Sunday’s action.
It was a tough day for some big-name quarterbacks, and a big day for some wide receivers.
NFL Week 4 winners
CeeDee Lamb, WR, Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys offense looked unstoppable at times on Sunday, and it was Lamb who did most of the damage. He not only caught the game-winning touchdown in their 34-30 win over the Houston Texans, but he also caught 17 passes for 189 yards. The Cowboys needed that win, and they needed their offense to lead it given the state of their defense. It delivered.
Puka Nacua, WR, Los Angeles Rams. Running back Kyren Williams had a huge day in the Rams’ come-from-behind 24-20 win against the Philadelphia Eagles, but Nacua’s return was a serious game-changer. After missing the past two games, the Rams’ No. 1 target returned with nine catches for 125 yards. His presence opens up the entire offense.
Arvell Reese, LB, New York Giants. No Jaxson Dart? No problem for the suddenly 3-1 Giants. While cornerback Deonte Banks had the walk-off 98-yard interception return for a touchdown to clinch their 36-24 win against the Arizona Cardinals, Reese, the team’s first-round pick this season, was a non-stop force all day. He finished with nine tackles, a tackle for loss, three pass deflections, and an interception. That is why you make him a top-five pick.
Efton Chism III, WR, New England Patriots. Drake Maye had something of a redemption game for the Patriots, throwing three touchdowns and overcoming another interception and some more fumbling issues in a 29-26 win over the Buffalo Bills. But this catch by Chism III deserves some love in the winner category.
