The fourth week of the 2024 National Football League regular season is now finished. Here are the top five headlines.
5) Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams requests to be traded.
The Las Vegas Raiders beat the Cleveland Browns 20-16 on Sunday, but it appears Raiders star receiver Davante Adams of Redwood City, California is not satisfied and wants to move on. Adams did not play against the Cleveland Browns because of a hamstring injury. So far this season he has 18 catches for 209 receiving yards and a touchdown. Teams that Adams could be traded to are the New York Jets (reacquainted with Aaron Rodgers) or the New Orleans Saints (reacquainted with Derek Carr).
4) Broncos win as an eight point underdog.
We did not see much at all from the Denver Broncos’s offense on Sunday. Heck, Bo Nix only had 60 yards passing. However, the Broncos defense was spectacular. They limited the Jets to only 64 yards rushing in a 10-9 win. With the victory, Denver improved to a record of 2-2.
3) Two teams undefeated.
Only two teams are 4-0. They are the Minnesota Vikings and Kansas City Chiefs. The Vikings beat the Green Bay Packers 31-29 at Lambeau on Sunday, while the Chiefs beat the Los Angeles Chargers 17-10. However the Kansas City win came at a cost, as wide receiver Rashee Rice injured his knee, and is expected to be gone for the season.
2) Ravens win statement game.
After a slow start to the season, it appears the Baltimore Ravens have things back on track. On Sunday, they defeated the previously undefeated Buffalo Bills 35-10. The Ravens star was Derrick Henry of Yulee, Florida, who had 199 yards rushing.
1) Jared Goff makes NFL history.
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff of Novato, California has made NFL history. On Monday night in a 42-29 win over the Seattle Seahawks, Goff set the NFL record with the most completions in a game (18) without an incompletion. Goff had 292 yards passing and two touchdowns, and even had a touchdown catch.
