Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers caught eight of 10 targets for 118 yards and a touchdown in a 24-18 win over the Tennessee Titans. Playing through a lingering hamstring injury without snap restrictions, Flowers played 73% of snaps and ran a route on 91% of dropbacks. He led Baltimore in receptions, targets, and yards, hauling in a 19-yard touchdown pass from Lamar Jackson before Jackson exited with an ankle injury.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers undrafted rookie quarterback Jalon Daniels completed 19 of 27 passes for 148 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions while rushing eight times for 55 yards in a 17-14 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Replacing injured starter Baker Mayfield, Daniels threw his first career touchdown pass to Kenny Gainwell in the fourth quarter but suffered three sacks and two turnovers.
New York Giants rookie defender Arvell Reese tallied nine tackles (one for loss), three passes defended, and a interception in a 36-24 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. Reese also forced a pass deflection that led to a team interception and added a critical fourth-down stop, continuing his breakout emergence as a key defensive playmaker for the 3-1 Giants.
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love completed 22 of 30 passes for 197 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in a 17-14 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Love threw two-yard touchdown passes to Matthew Golden and Tucker Kraft while connecting with eight different targets to move Green Bay to 3-1.
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift rushed 15 times for 58 yards, caught two passes for 16 yards, and lost a fumble in a 23-12 win over the New York Jets. Swift was stuffed twice on goal-line carries on the opening drive and ceded second-half carries to Kyle Monangai following his third-quarter fumble, though both backs remain central to Chicago's offense.
Baltimore Ravens backup quarterback Tyler Huntley completed eight of nine passes for 63 yards and rushed four times for 16 yards after entering at halftime of Sunday's 24-18 victory over the Tennessee Titans. Huntley replaced starter Lamar Jackson, who exited with a high ankle sprain, and efficiently protected a lead without turning the ball over.
Detroit Lions starting cornerback D.J. Reed is active and playing in Sunday night's Week 4 game against the Carolina Panthers. Reed cleared pre-game workouts after being listed as questionable throughout the week with a rib injury, providing a major boost to Detroit's secondary.
Denver Broncos wide receiver Pat Bryant suffered a lower leg injury late in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers and was carted off the field. Bryant sustained the injury while going down hard at the end of a 31-yard reception across midfield. The rookie's departure further depleted a short-handed Denver roster that had already lost starting cornerbacks Patrick Surtain II and Riley Moss to injuries earlier in the contest.
Jacksonville Jaguars two-way star Travis Hunter demonstrated his open-field agility during Sunday's 22-17 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, executing a juke move that dropped receiver Tee Higgins following an interception return. However, the play was ultimately negated by a penalty. Hunter continues to showcase his dual-threat ability and athleticism for Jacksonville as the team improved to victory ahead of their Week 5 London game against the Eagles.
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins hauled in 11 receptions on 16 targets for 157 yards in a 22-17 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, but was forced to exit late in the fourth quarter with an adductor injury. Head coach Zac Taylor confirmed the injury following the contest. Higgins was also involved in a play where Jacksonville's Travis Hunter juked him on a nullified interception. With teammate Ja'Marr Chase suffering a concussion, Higgins' Week 5 status is uncertain.
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson carried 14 times for 42 yards and went un-targeted on two passing attempts in a 29-26 win against the Buffalo Bills. Henderson averaged 3.0 yards per carry against an improved Buffalo front, recording one more carry than teammate Rhamondre Stevenson but generating five fewer yards. Through four games, the 2025 second-round draft pick is averaging 3.7 yards per carry as he seeks his first breakout game.
Denver Broncos defender Jordan Turner forced a fumble on the San Francisco 49ers during the opening kickoff of the third quarter in Sunday's matchup. Although San Francisco recovered the loose ball, Turner's special teams play highlighted an aggressive defensive effort for Denver.
Denver Broncos cornerback Riley Moss was ruled out of Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers after sustaining a rib injury. Moss did not return to the field for the second half after being evaluated in the locker room. His injury, alongside Patrick Surtain II's ankle issue, left Denver without both starting boundary cornerbacks and thrust Jahdae Barron and Kris Abrams-Draine into heavy defensive workloads.
Buffalo Bills cornerback Dee Alford stated following Sunday's game that the defense must adapt to the extreme crowd noise at the new Highmark Stadium. Alford noted that the loud home environment has proven challenging for defensive communication on the field. The Bills defense struggled in a 29-26 home loss to the New England Patriots, and Alford highlighted the need for adjustments moving forward into the season.
Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard carried 16 times for 48 yards and a three-yard touchdown in a 24-18 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Pollard added two receptions for two yards on four targets. The veteran back found the end zone for the first time this season in the first quarter and has handled at least 15 touches in three consecutive games. Despite averaging 3.0 yards per carry against Baltimore, Pollard continues to lead the Titans' backfield work over Tyjae Spears.
Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Cam Ward completed 20 of 31 passes for 222 yards, one touchdown, and one interception while adding 27 rushing yards in a 24-18 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Down 24-7 at halftime, Ward led a late fourth-quarter rally, connecting with Wan'Dale Robinson for a three-yard touchdown and passing for a two-point conversion inside the final two minutes. Despite a season-high in passing yards, Ward and the Titans fell to 0-4 on the year.
Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Carnell Tate exploded for a career-high performance against the Baltimore Ravens, catching nine of 12 targets for 145 yards in a 24-18 loss. The fourth overall pick dominated Tennessee's passing game, drawing 42.8% of targeted passes and accounting for 65.3% of the team's receiving yards despite losing a fumble. Tate's 145 yards exceeded his total from his first three games combined as he established himself as the team's primary wideout.
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. caught both of his targets for 17 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-17 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. Although Cincinnati's defense effectively limited Jacksonville's outside receivers, Thomas made a critical impact by hauling in a seven-yard touchdown pass from Trevor Lawrence late in the second quarter. Thomas now has nine catches for 105 yards and a touchdown on 15 targets heading into Week 5.
Houston Texans running back David Montgomery was limited to 24 rushing yards on 10 carries while adding a 19-yard reception in a 34-30 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Montgomery's 19-yard receiving gain came on a hook-and-ladder play off a lateral from Dalton Schultz, which set up Woody Marks' six-yard touchdown run. Montgomery has not reached 50 scrimmage yards or scored a touchdown since Week 1 and will look to rebound in Week 5 against Tennessee.
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jalen Nailor was ruled out of Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs after sustaining a concussion during the second quarter. Prior to leaving the contest, Nailor was unable to make further contributions to the Raiders' offense. His absence left Las Vegas short-handed at wide receiver as head coach Klint Kubiak adjusted his offensive personnel during a tight AFC West battle that stood at 13-10 early in the third quarter.
