NFL Week 4 takeaways: Does Rice injury derail Chiefs’ offense? Commanders best in the NFC East?
New York TimesThe Chiefs got another tight win but lost Rashee Rice, the NFC East-leading Commanders got their second road win in six days, and things are getting very interesting in the NFC South, as the Bucs bounced back in a big way against Philly and the Falcons stole a close one against New Orleans. The Commanders’ second half of the season will feature five divisional matchups in nine games, and that stretch could wind up telling the truth about this young team. The Chiefs managed to put the Chargers away despite scoring only 17 points, but going forward, they’ll need players to step up to compensate for the loss of Rice. The Falcons, who bounced back from last week’s loss to Kansas City, are probably the division’s second-best team right now as their win over the Saints would suggest. I’m also not sure who is calling plays for the Jaguars, but the last time that their offense looked good, Pederson was unquestionably the main play caller.
