  • Jonathan Taylor is facing a Commanders run defense that ranks third in the NFL through three weeks.
  • The Colts defense has been among the league's worst in terms of yards and points allowed but also takeaways.
  • Derrick Henry left the Titans in 2024 as they downsized, and little of the regime that 'shipped' him out remains.

Will Taylor Break 100 Yards?

Taylor hasn't broken 100 yards in a game this season, and the Commanders' defense is looking to continue their strong play against the run.

  • The Commanders have been careful with the ball on offense, committing just one giveaway all year.
  • The Titans have been competitive against the run, allowing just 3.6 yards per attempt.
  • Jeffery Simmons has vowed to 'hit his ass' when Derrick Henry plows into the teeth of the Titans front on Sunday.

The Ravens' Resurgence

The Ravens are rejuvenated by their resounding win in Rio, and they're looking to continue their strong play against the Patriots in Week 4.

The Patriots' Struggles

The Patriots have struggled on offense this season, scoring just 29 points in 30 drives.

The Bills' Dominance

The Bills have dominated on offense, scoring 101 points in 32 drives.

According to Pro Football Focus, the Ravens' resurgence can be attributed to their improved pass defense, which has allowed just 5.5 yards per attempt this season. This improvement has allowed their offense to thrive, with Lamar Jackson leading the way with 7 touchdowns and 2 interceptions.

The Patriots' struggles on offense can be attributed to their lack of depth at wide receiver, with DeVante Parker being the only reliable target for quarterback Mac Jones. The Patriots' running game has also struggled, with Rhamondre Stevenson averaging just 3.5 yards per carry.

The Bills' dominance on offense can be attributed to their strong play from quarterback Josh Allen, who has thrown for 7 touchdowns and 2 interceptions this season. The Bills' running game has also been effective, with James Cook averaging 5.5 yards per carry.

As the NFL season continues to heat up, these key storylines will be crucial in determining the outcome of Week 4 matchups. The Ravens' resurgence, the Patriots' struggles, and the Bills' dominance will all be on display in Week 4, making it a must-watch weekend for NFL fans.
