Chiefs and Vikings stand 4-0 as NFL Week 4 closes
Kansas City rallies past Raiders 30-27. Minnesota tops Dolphins 15-10. Panthers stun Lions 32-26 on Sunday night.
Why this match matters
NFL Week 4 has concluded, leaving just two undefeated teams across the entire league: the Kansas City Chiefs and the Minnesota Vikings, both standing tall at 4-0. Late-window victories and a wild Sunday Night shootout shaped the early playoff landscape before Monday night closed out the fourth week of the campaign. The slate now turns towards Week 5, starting with Thursday Night Football between the Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
What actually happened
In the Sunday late window, Patrick Mahomes guided a clutch fourth-quarter comeback drive to push the Chiefs past the Las Vegas Raiders 30-27 at Allegiant Stadium. Meanwhile in Minneapolis, the Vikings relied on their stifling defense to turn back the Miami Dolphins 15-10, dropping Miami to 0-4. Elsewhere, the San Francisco 49ers pulled away from the Denver Broncos 24-14, and the Seattle Seahawks outlasted the Los Angeles Chargers 30-23. On Sunday Night Football, the Carolina Panthers pulled off a 32-26 upset over the Detroit Lions for their first victory of the season.
What it changes
The Buffalo Bills’ earlier 29-26 defeat to the New England Patriots leaves Kansas City as the lone unbeaten franchise in the AFC. In the NFC, Minnesota leads the North at 4-0, ahead of the 3-1 Chicago Bears and 2-2 Lions and Packers. With all 16 games of Week 4 accounted for in the standings, Thursday Night Football at Mercedes-Benz Stadium between the Falcons and Buccaneers marks the immediate start of Week 5.
