NFL Week 4 delivered drama, debuts, and devastating injuries. The spotlight belonged to Jaxson Dart, who led the New York Giants to a gritty 21–18 win over the previously undefeated Chargers in his first-ever NFL start. Dart showcased poise, mobility, and maturity far beyond expectations, giving the Giants and their fans hope for a fresh future under center. But the win came at a heavy cost. Star wide receiver Malik Nabers suffered a suspected torn ACL, dampening the post-game celebration and reigniting criticism of MetLife Stadium’s turf. Around the league, Week 4 revealed growing pains for top teams, the brutal cost of physical play, and the emergence of young stars — all while injuries continued to pile up at an alarming rate. From defensive domination and rookie QBs stepping up to coaching decisions under fire, this week didn’t just shift standings — it altered the outlook for half the league. If Week 4 taught us anything, it’s that in the NFL, triumph and tragedy often walk hand in hand.
