Ep. 183 - Blowouts & Blocked Kicks: NFL Week 4 Recap

Week 4 had everything: international games, rookie firsts, defensive heroics, and plenty of chaos.

We kick things off at MetLife Stadium, where Jaxson Dart earned his first NFL win as Chargers QB in a gritty 21–18 victory over the Giants. The win was huge for L.A., but the Giants suffered a major loss with rookie star Malik Nabers going down.

From there, we move to Kansas City, where Patrick Mahomes carved up Baltimore in a 37–20 statement game that reasserted the Chiefs as the AFC’s gold standard. Meanwhile, Jacksonville shocked the 49ers 26–21 on the road, though the win came with bad news as Travon Walker underwent wrist surgery.

Across the pond, the Steelers edged the Vikings 24–21 in Dublin, marking the NFL’s first regular-season game in Ireland. The Seahawks won a thriller over the Cardinals on a walk-off field goal, and the Falcons topped the Commanders in an under-the-radar shootout.

But maybe the wildest ending came in Las Vegas: the Bears blocked a potential game-winning field goal to beat the Raiders 25–24. At 2–2, Chicago suddenly feels alive again, but is this a real turning point, or just a lucky bounce?

We also spotlight the Eagles staying unbeaten against the Bucs, the Bills rolling the Saints, and the Lions dismantling the Browns. Monday night closed with the Dolphins saving their season against the Jets and the Broncos crushing the Bengals.
