Four weeks into the 2026 season, the league has sorted itself out in a hurry. The AFC has one perfect team left, and it is the one nobody ever doubts. The NFC still has two, though one of them needed 98 yards and less than five minutes to stay that way. Sunday alone produced a stack of one-score finishes, a walk-off field goal on Thursday night, a 17-catch afternoon in Houston and a goal-line stand in New Jersey, which means the playoff picture and the jersey charts both moved in a big way.
Below is the full Week 4 board: the games that decided it, the injuries that will shape Week 5, the trades that keep reshaping rosters, and what all of it means for the players fans are shopping right now.
Chiefs 30, Raiders 27: Kansas City Escapes Vegas at 4-0
The game of the weekend lived up to the billing. The 3-0 Raiders led 19-17 with under five minutes left after Matt Gay's second field goal of the fourth quarter, and Allegiant Stadium was ready to party. Then Kenneth Walker III took over. His 76-yard run late in the third quarter — the longest rush by any player this season — set the tone, and after Tyquan Thornton's 55-yard catch set up a 2-yard touchdown with 3:21 left, Dareke Young fumbled the ensuing kickoff. Nineteen seconds later Walker was in the end zone again from 22 yards, and a 30-19 lead was suddenly safe. Kirk Cousins hit Brock Bowers for a 20-yard score with 1:46 left to make it 30-27, but Xavier Nwankpa intercepted Cousins' fourth-down heave with ten seconds on the clock.
Walker finished with 22 carries for 177 yards and two touchdowns, and his 537 rushing yards lead the NFL. Patrick Mahomes was uncharacteristically inefficient — 15 of 30 for 225 yards — but both scoring throws found Thornton, who had a career day of five catches for 111 yards before a left leg injury on that 55-yard catch ended his afternoon on a cart. Cousins threw for 365 yards and two touchdowns, with Bowers catching six for 86 and a score while playing through an illness. Travis Kelce's first grab was the 1,095th catch of his career, seventh most in league history, and Mahomes stayed unbeaten at Allegiant Stadium. The cost beyond the scoreline: Rashee Rice pulled up with a hamstring injury in the first quarter and did not return. Chiefs gear stays the hottest ticket in the division — the Patrick Mahomes jersey collection and the full Kansas City Chiefs shop are the place to start.
Patriots 29, Bills 26: Buffalo's Perfect Run Ends in Orchard Park
Buffalo had been winning games it kept trying to give away, and the bill finally arrived. The Bills took a 26-21 lead with 4:27 left when Josh Allen hit Keon Coleman for a 34-yard touchdown, but New England answered one last time. Romeo Doubs had earlier put the Patriots in front 21-17 with a one-handed end-zone grab, and with the game on the line it was Efton Chism III's turn — a one-handed go-ahead touchdown catch, a converted two-point try, and then a game-sealing interception of Allen to close out a 29-26 win that nobody in the AFC East will forget.
For Drake Maye, this was the response week. After a first three games defined by turnovers, he walked into a 3-0 buzzsaw and left with a statement win, while Buffalo slipped to 3-1 despite another productive Allen afternoon. The division race is suddenly alive, and both fan bases are buying — the Josh Allen jersey collection is still the top seller in the East, while the New England Patriots shop is moving again after a quiet two years. For the player-form backdrop to this game, our Week 4 player spotlight flagged Maye's turnover problem and Allen's five-turnover survival act in Buffalo the week before.
Rams 24, Eagles 20: Los Angeles Steals It in Philadelphia
The Eagles led 20-10 with the game all but wrapped up. Then the Rams drove 98 yards for a touchdown, forced a punt, and marched back down the field for Kyren Williams' go-ahead score with less than a minute remaining. Williams and Puka Nacua combined for all three Los Angeles touchdowns in a 24-20 win that both salvages the Rams' season at 2-2 and drops a talented Eagles team to the same record amid audible boos at home.
The scale of Philadelphia's problems is hard to overstate. Jalen Hurts finished 12 of 27 for 93 yards and two touchdowns, the offense went 0 for 12 on third down, and the injury list is brutal: DeVonta Smith, Lane Johnson, Landon Dickerson, Zack Baun and Dallas Goedert were all ruled out before kickoff, and Saquon Barkley left in the first half with a hamstring injury. Los Angeles is not perfect either, but a 98-yard game-winning drive on the road buys Sean McVay and Matthew Stafford a week of breathing room. Rams colors are trending — browse the Los Angeles Rams collection while the bandwagon still has room.
Cowboys 34, Texans 30: CeeDee Lamb Catches Everything in Houston
The Texans led most of the afternoon and went back in front 30-27 on a C.J. Stroud scoring drive late in the fourth quarter. It did not matter. Dak Prescott took over with 1:43 on the clock, drove Dallas 74 yards, and found CeeDee Lamb on a 12-yard winner with under a minute left. Lamb finished with 17 receptions for 189 yards and the touchdown — one of the great catching afternoons of the season — while Javonte Williams ran for three scores. Dallas moves to 2-2; Houston, a playoff team a year ago, is suddenly 0-4 and staring at a deep hole. After a game like that, the CeeDee Lamb jersey page writes its own marketing copy.
Around the League: Browns Walk Off, Three Teams Stay Perfect
Thursday night set the tone for the week. Cleveland beat Pittsburgh 27-24 on Andre Szmyt's 56-yard field goal at the gun, capping a three-game winning streak for the first time since 2023. Aaron Rodgers threw for 299 yards and three touchdowns but was sacked five times and picked off twice, the last on Grant Delpit's game-sealing grab of a final Hail Mary. DK Metcalf's 115 yards kept the Steelers in it, but Cleveland's 14 penalties nearly gave it away.

Elsewhere, the Vikings beat Miami without Justin Jefferson to move to 4-0, with Aaron Jones churning out 94 rushing yards and Kyler Murray making the plays that mattered. San Francisco is also 4-0 after a 24-14 win in which Brock Purdy threw two more touchdowns — 11 scoring passes through four weeks — before George Kittle iced it with a long fourth-quarter catch-and-run. The worry in the Bay: Trent Williams and Mike Evans are the latest names on a long injury sheet. Jacksonville edged Cincinnati 22-17 behind an efficient Trevor Lawrence, despite Burrow piling up 428 yards on 54 attempts. Chicago dismissed the Jets 23-12 to reach 3-1 behind another steady backup-quarterback performance, Green Bay edged Tampa Bay 17-14 with Tucker Kraft scoring, and Indianapolis rolled to a 30-13 win in Washington against a Commanders team resting Jayden Daniels. In New Jersey, the Giants survived a goal-line stand to beat Arizona, with Deonte Banks ending the game the most dramatic way possible — a 98-yard pick-six on the final play.
That leaves exactly three unbeaten teams after four weeks: the Chiefs, the 49ers and the Vikings. Two of them were preseason afterthoughts in the Super Bowl conversation, which is exactly why the San Francisco 49ers shop keeps adding new arrivals.

The Injury Wire and the Trade Board After Week 4
Week 4 was expensive. The headliners:
- Tyquan Thornton (Chiefs) — carted off with a left leg injury after his 55-yard catch; his status beyond this week was not immediately clear.
- Rashee Rice (Chiefs) — hamstring, exited in the first quarter against the Raiders.
- Justin Jefferson (Vikings) — ruled out before the Miami game as he works back from the ankle injury suffered in Week 3; monitor practice reports.
- Jayden Reed (Packers) — placed on injured reserve and will have season-ending neck surgery, a crushing blow to Green Bay's receiving corps.
- Brian Burns (Giants) — tore both his ACL and meniscus and is scheduled for surgery, a massive loss for the league's surprise 3-1 defense.
- De'Von Achane (Dolphins) — torn ACL in the Week 3 loss to Kansas City and out for the season.
- Jayden Daniels (Commanders) — sat out the Colts game with an elbow issue; his timeline remains week to week.
- Baker Mayfield (Buccaneers) — ruled out before the Green Bay loss, and Tampa Bay's winless start deepened.
- Pat Surtain II (Broncos) — left the San Francisco game with an ankle injury; fellow corner Riley Moss hurt his ribs.
On the trade front, the deadline board we tracked last week is already moving. Dallas completed its trade for cornerback Joey Porter Jr., sending a 2028 second-round pick and a 2027 sixth-rounder to Pittsburgh, while the Giants — after losing Jaxson Dart to knee surgery — swung a trade for Minnesota quarterback J.J. McCarthy. Rosters are far from settled before the November deadline; the full picture is in our trade deadline watch. Week 4 wraps up Monday night in New Orleans, where the Falcons visit the Saints.
What Week 4 Means for Jersey Demand
Big weeks move jerseys, and Week 4 created a fresh wave of names worth shopping:
- CeeDee Lamb, Cowboys — a 17-catch, 189-yard game-winning afternoon is the single biggest demand spike of the week; the Lamb collection is the pick for Dallas fans.
- Kenneth Walker III, Chiefs — the league's leading rusher on a 4-0 team; pair him with the evergreen Mahomes jerseys.
- Kyren Williams and Puka Nacua, Rams — three combined touchdowns in a statement road win.
- Drake Maye and the Patriots — a first signature win has New England colors moving again.
- Chicago Bears — 3-1 and winning ugly with backup quarterbacks; the Bears shop is a sneaky value play before November.

What happened to Chiefs receiver Tyquan Thornton?
Thornton had a career day — five catches for 111 yards and two touchdowns — but suffered a left leg injury on the 55-yard reception that set up Kansas City's go-ahead score and was carted off. His availability beyond Week 4 had not been announced as of publication.
