NFL Week 4 Tidbits: Jags, Texans, Giants, Ravens, Raiders, Broncos Patriots

Cam gives tidbits on week 4 from the NFL: Jags, Texans, Giants, Ravens, Raiders, Broncos Patriots

BALTIMORE, MARYLAND, JANUARY 20: Quarterback Lamar Jackson #8 of the Baltimore Ravens throws the ball in the AFC Divisional Playoff game against the Houston Texans at M&T Bank Stadium on January 20, 2024 in Baltimore, Maryland. The Ravens defeated the Texans 34-10. (Photo by Kirby Lee/Getty Images)
Jags to get their first win: 

The Jaguars have too much talent to be 0-4, and they certainly have too much talent to be 0-5. Even bad teams win the occasional game. In fact, the other 31 teams have all won at least one game so far; even the Patriots, Cardinals, Giants, and Panthers have a win under their belt. The Jaguars are facing the Colts at home and will prevail. 

Put up or shut up in Houston: 

The Texans are in first place in the AFC South, and the Bills are in first in the AFC  East…something has to give. I’d like Houston much more if the Bills won on Sunday, but not only did they lose in Baltimore, they got embarrassed. There’s a new movie in the theaters about the beginning days of Saturday Night Live. They were called the “Not Ready For Primetime Players.”  In many ways, this game will determine whether or not Houston is ready for Primetime.

Will Ravens continue to prove themselves?: 

The Ravens had a tough schedule to start the season. They have rebounded nicely from their 0-2 start. They went into Dallas and then came back home to play the Bills, winning both games. They are sitting at 2-2 and now have a divisional road game against the Bengals. The Bengals finally got their first win and are playing much better than they did in their first three games. Both teams are looking up at the Steelers, and both badly need the game. The Bengals need it more because 2-3 looks much better than 1-4.

Brian Daboll’s last game?: 

The Brain Daboll watch is on. After starting 0-2, they went into Cleveland and won fairly decisively. And the Daniel Jones to Malik Nabors connection was in full force. They came back home and laid an egg against the Cowboys. They are now 1-3 and have a tough road game against the Seahawks. There are already whispers about Daboll’s future, and a 1-4 start will turn the whispers into full-throated calls for his job.

Either the Raiders or Broncos will be 3-2: 

It is almost impossible to believe, but the Raiders and the Broncos are each 2-2 this year. And they are facing off against each other in Denver. Unless they end in a tie, one of these will leave the field winning the game to get to 3-2. With the turmoil surrounding Davante Adams, and the way the Broncos defense is playing, I think HC Sean Payton will have his team begin 3-2.

Something has to give in New England: 

The Patriots lost 24-3 to the Jets two weeks ago and then 30-13 in San Fransisco. They are sitting at 1-3 on the year. The Dolphins lost 24-3 to the Seahawks two weeks ago and then 31-12 this week at home against the Titans. They are sitting at 1-3 on the year. One of these teams has to win on Sunday, but it may be the dullest game in NFL history…and I actually think that without Tua Tagovailoa at the helm for the Dolphins, this is a winnable game for the Pats.
