Football is a team sport, but the NFL is a league full of individual superstars. The best of the best land gigantic contracts, and oftentimes these salaries impact the way game plans are created. If you have a running back who's making bank, you better feed him the ball. Likewise, if you have a quarterback who's due for a new deal, you better give him every chance to make sure he's worth resetting the market. The and are two teams that have to be giving this great thought coming out of Week 4.The Panthers' offense is built around running back . His usage was through the roof last season, so when he got hurt in Week 2, many expected the Panthers to sink even deeper than they already were. Instead, the opposite has been true. Circumstances have forced Carolina to take a different approach, and maybe that's a ble sing in disguise.Meanwhile, the Cowboys pre sed pause on contract talks with quarterback this offseason and instead asked him to play under the franchise tag. This wait-and-see approach has yielded historic pa sing production from Prescott, but an undesirable outcome when it comes to wins and lo ses. If this continues, the Cooper Kupp Jersey negotiations are only going to get tougher when talks resume next offseason.It was a wild Week 4 Sunday, and there's a lot to go over. John Breech, Ryan Wilson and host Will Brinson break it all down on the Pick Six Podcast; listen below andfor daily NFL goodne s fired into your eardrums.Prescott may not be to blame for the Cowboys' struggles, but the McCaffrey situation does shine an interesting light acro s the league. Perhaps it's a recipe for disaster to focus your game plan so heavily on one player, even if he is or is vying to be the most talented player at his position. Let's take a closer look at the numbers to know from Week 4 and let them decide.2The Carolina Panthers are 2-2 on the season, but they've now wontwostraight games without McCaffrey. Before their current winning streak began, the Panthers lost 10 straight games dating back to last season (McCaffrey started all 10 of those games). Sunday's 31-21 win over the was particularly shocking, as Carolina thoroughly dominated a team that looked like a legitimate contender just a couple weeks ago.McCaffrey was producing before injuring his ankle; he scored four touchdowns in two games and was averaging over 100 scrimmage yards per game. The Panthers, however, have not mi sed a beat without him. Quarterback has emerged as a bigger playmaker, after throwing for two touchdowns and rushing for a third in Week 4. Running back value has been scrutinized for quite some time, but never have we seen an example this jarring. The Panthers made McCaffrey the highest-paid running back in NFL history this offseason (four years, $64 million), and they're arguably more efficient without him. Any team considering a big extension for a running back should take a close look at the situation in Carolina and think twice.5 quarterback threw five touchdown pa ses tofivedifferent receivers in a 38-31 win over the on Sunday. Brady has played in 289 regular-season games since entering the NFL in 2000, and this was the first time he's connected with that many players for touchdowns in a single game. Even at 43 years old and with a new team, the GOAT is still setting personal pa sing records. That should be mind-melting, but it's come to be what we expect from him.Technically, Brady connected with six different players for a touchdown, as Tampa Bay's second drive of the game ended with a pick six by Chargers defensive back . This sparked a 24-0 scoring run for Los Angeles, but the Bucs never folded. Brady regrouped and led his team on a touchdown drive right before halftime, then outscored the Chargers 24-7 in the second half to secure the victory. Critics are quick to jump on the "Brady is washed" narrative when he loses in Week 1 or throws an early pick six, but he's even quicker to prove them wrong with a three-game winning streak and a marvelous comeback in Week 4.7The haveseveninterceptions in their past three games, including one in Sunday's 19-11 win over the . The Colts had zero takeaways in their season-opening lo s to the , but they've registered at least one in each of their past three outings (all wins). This streak is part of a larger defensive clampdown during which Indianapolis has surrendered le s than 10 points per game on average. The Colts have the No. 1 defense in the league. Brandon Powell Jersey Indy's dominance on defense has been key to the team's overall succe s, as the offense isn't exactly humming. Veteran quarterback has not thrown more than one touchdown pa s in a game yet this season. His arm clearly is not J.J. Koski Jersey as powerful as it once was, and he offers next to nothing with his legs. The Colts can't afford to let the takeaway well run dry, as they're going to find themselves in plenty of field-position battles this season and need to create as many short-field situations as po sible for their sluggish offense.8The have goneeightstraight quarters without scoring a touchdown. The last time they found the end zone was in the fourth quarter of their Week 2 lo s to the Bears. New York's offense lacks a bright spot without sensational running back , as the team's leading rusher is second-year quarterback (137 yards). Jones' pa sing game is just as inept. No Giants player has recorded more than 65 receiving yards in a game since went for 102 yards against the in Week 1.New York's touchdown drought was particularly painful on Sunday, as the defense actually played well enough to win in a 17-9 lo s to the . The Giants only trailed by one point until Rams quarterback hit wide receiver for a 55-yard touchdown strike with just under seven minutes left in the fourth quarter. The haple s NFC East is still wide open even for the winle s Giants but Big Blue will never be the race if they can't get in the end zone.13Sunday's 30-23 win over the marked the13th time quarterback has recorded a pa sing touchdown and a rushing touchdown in a single game. Allen is 13-0 in such performances. With his Bills off to their first 4-0 start since 2008, the third-year signal caller is building a case for himself as the NFL's most effective dual-threat quarterback.Allen now has 20 rushing touchdowns for his career. That total ties him with running back for the most rushing touchdowns among players selected in the 2018 NFL draft. Saquon Barkley (17), (14) and (13) all trail Allen in this category. The area in which he has shown marked improvement in 2020, however, is his pa sing. Allen already has 12 pa sing touchdowns through four games. He threw just 20 touchdown pa ses in 16 games last year, and only 10 in 12 games as a rookie. Once considered a raw athlete, Allen now trails only quarterback for the best pa ser rating in the NFL (122.7).25.2After hauling in four more receptions for 106 yards in a 31-23 win over the in Week 4, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf is averaging a whopping25.2yards per reception this season. He is currently tied with Buffalo Bills wide receiver for the NFL Jack Youngblood Jersey lead in receiving yards (403), despite having 10 fewer receptions. Seven of Metcalf's 16 receptions in 2020 have gone for 20-plus yards, and a quarter of them would be touchdowns if not for his lackadaisical fumble-touchback against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 3.In Year 2, Metcalf is developing into perhaps the NFL's most dangerous big-play threat. With the Seahawks letting Ru sell Wilson cook this season, the 6-foot-4, 229-pound monster wideout has emerged as his favorite ingredient. Seattle has the most explosive pa sing offense in the NFL when it comes to yards per pa s attempt (9.4) and pa sing touchdowns (16), and Metcalf's ability to stretch the field is a big reason why. It's hard to imagine how much better this unit could be, if currently suspended wideout gets reinstated by the NFL.30The Cleveland Browns went on the road and took down the Dallas Cowboys 49-38 on Sunday. This marks Cleveland's third straight game with at least30points, which is the franchise's longest streak of 30-point games since 1968. Is it time to start believing in the Browns? The last two teams that went into Dallas and put up 49 points or more made it to the Super Bowl (2004 , 2013 ).Quarterback is playing well and wide receiver Jr. enjoyed a breakthrough performance against the Cowboys, but Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski deserves the majority of the credit. Stefanski has opened up Cleveland's running game, as the Browns lead the NFL in both rushing yards per attempt (5.9) and rushing yards per game (204.5) by a fairly wide margin. Starting running back Nick Chubb is heading to injured reserve, but the Browns can survive on the ground without him. After Chubb left the Cowboys game with a knee injury on Sunday, backup went on to score two rushing touchdowns and third-stringer led the team with 95 rushing yards. On top of that, the game-sealing play was a 50-yard touchdownrushby Beckham. Multiplicity like that is the hallmark of a dominant scheme.450While the Browns were running wild, the Cowboys were trying to throw themselves out of a hole. Quarterback Dak Prescott threw for 502 yards and four touchdowns in the losing effort, Bryce Perkins Jersey making him the first player in NFL history to throw for at least450yards in three straight games. Asking Prescott to air it out hasn't been a winning formula, though, as he is also the first player in NFL history to throw for 450 yards in back-to-back games and lose both. If the knew how to recover an onside kick, he would have set that record one week earlier.The Cowboys now sit at 1-3, and their current scheme is totally unsustainable. The all-time single-season pa sing yardage record is 5,477 (set by in 2013). Through four games in 2020, Prescott is on pace to throw for 6,760 yards. The only way this will get any better is to establish a balance through improved defense. The Cowboys currently rank dead last in terms of points allowed per game (36.5) and have the NFL's second worst unit against the run (172.5). They need to stiffen up, take control of the pace of games and stop calling on Prescott to bail them out in the fourth quarter.931The Los Angeles Chargers are 1-3 overall and 1-2 with at quarterback, but the sixth-overall pick has produced some jaw-dropping highlights and eye-opening statistics. He has931yards on the season, which ranks behind only 2011 (1,012) as the second most in a player's first three NFL starts. This bodes extremely well for his future as the team's potential franchise quarterback.While his Chargers blew a ma sive lead to the Buccaneers in Week 4, Herbert withstood constant pre sure to complete pa ses to nine different receivers. He threw two huge touchdown pa ses of 72 yards and 53 yards, helping bring his season average up to 8.7 yards per pa s attempt (5th best in NFL). The interception on Los Angeles' final po se sion of the game was obviously a killer, but those are the growing pains that come with being a rookie quarterback. Through three starts, it's apparent that Herbert has the natural ability to be a show-stopping signal caller in this league.
