Red Raiders in the NFL: Week 4
October 06, 2020 | Football
Patrick Mahomes II – QB, Kansas City Chiefs
It wasn't the cleanest performance by Mahomes and the Chiefs, but they earned a 26-10 Monday night win over the Patriots after the game was postponed earlier in the week due to COVID-19 related issues. Despite a slow start, Mahomes put up 236 yards and two touchdowns on 19-of-29 throwing and added another 28 yards on the ground on eight carries. With the win, the Chiefs are the only franchise in NFL history to start 4-0 in four consecutive seasons.
Kerry Hyder Jr. – DL, San Francisco 49ers
Hyder continued his impressive season so far recording four tackles and assisted on sack in the 49ers 25-20 loss to the Eagles on Sunday night. Hyder leads the team with 2.5 sacks on the season.
Danny Amendola – WR, Detroit Lions
Amendola hauled in two passes for 57 yards, including a 50-yard reception early in the first quarter to set up a Lions touchdown as the Lions fell to the Saints 35-29. For the year, Amendola has made 10 catches for 177 yards and leads the Lions with 17.7 yards per reception.
Dakota Allen – LB, Jacksonville Jaguars
Allen saw more playing time in the Jaguars 33-25 loss to the Bengals on Sunday following an injury to starting linebacker Myles Jack during the game. Allen finished with six tackles, including a tackle for loss.
Jakeem Grant – WR, Miami Dolphins
Grant hauled in three passes for 36 yards on Sunday's 31-23 loss to the Seahawks. Grant also returned a punt 11 yards and recorded a tackle, providing value in the special team's department.
Terrence Steele – OL, Dallas Cowboys
The undrafted rookie made his fourth straight start for the league's top offense on Sunday as he went toe-to-toe with talented Brown's pass rusher Myles Garrett. The Cowboys nearly overcame a large deficit once again before falling to the Browns 49-38.
Jordyn Brooks – LB, Seattle Seahawks
Brooks was inactive for Seattle on Sunday after suffering a knee injury last week. Brooks started his first game a week ago and will look to recover quickly for the 4-0 Seahawks.
Broderick Washington – DL, Baltimore Ravens
Washington played 21 snaps during the Ravens 31-17 win over Washington on Sunday, but he did not record a tackle.
Le'Raven Clark – OL, Indianapolis Colts
Clark played just four snaps in the Colts 19-11 win over the Bears on Sunday.
Sam Eguavoen – LB, Miami Dolphins
Eguavoen did not play against the Seahawks on Sunday.
Cameron Batson – WR, Tennessee Titans
Batson was inactive this week to COVID-19. Batson was among 10 players that were listed for COVID-19 on the Titans.
Cody Davis – S, New England Patriots
Davis was placed on IR this week for a rib injury. Davis is on of the team's core special teams players, recording three tackles through three games.
Keke Coutee – WR, Houston Texans
Coutee was inactive again Sunday during the Texans 23-31 loss to the Vikings.
HEAD COACHES
Kliff Kingsbury – Arizona Cardinals
Kingsbury and the Cardinals fell to 2-2 on the year after dropping a 31-21 decision to the Panthers. The Cardinals are tied for third in their division behind the Seahawks and Rams.
Anthony Lynn – Los Angeles Chargers
With starting quarterback Tyrod Taylor out for the third straight week, Lynn and the Chargers gave Tom Brady and the Buccaneers all they could handle in a 38-31 loss. Rookie QB Justin Herbert continued to impress, going 20-for-25 passing for 290 yards and three touchdowns.

All eyes to begin Cowboys-Browns game today should be on the Cowboys' offensive tackles. DE Olivier Vernon to test where LT Tyron Smith (neck) is physically. On other side, DE Myles Garrett draws undrafted rookie RT Terence Steele. Brandon Knight staying on ready from sideline.
