Regular Season Week 4 — Thu 25 Sep to Mon 29 Sep 2025
UK flavoured. Big energy. All killer, no filler.
Week 4 gave us walk-offs, a rare tie and a rookie QB debut upset. Seattle opened the slate with a walk-off 52-yarder in the desert to beat Arizona 23–20. Sunday swung on big moments: Buffalo moved to 4–0 by handling the Saints 31–19; Jacksonville’s defence and specials mugged the 49ers in Santa Clara, 26–21; and Kansas City looked properly sharp at Arrowhead, 37–20 over Baltimore. The upset? New York started first-rounder Jaxson Dart and the Giants clipped the previously perfect Chargers 21–18. Spicy.
Tampa Bay’s perfect start ended against the Eagles 31–25 as Philly stayed unbeaten with a fake tush-push and a special-teams score. Houston put up a 26–0 shutout on Tennessee (first Texans shutout in ages), while Chicago survived in Vegas thanks to a last-minute blocked field goal. Then Sunday Night went full circus: Cowboys and Packers played to a 40–40 draw after trading overtime field goals. Yes, ties still exist. Monday’s double header closed it out with Miami’s first win (27–21 vs the Jets) overshadowed by a grim Tyreek Hill knee injury, and Denver stomping Cincinnati 28–3 behind Bo Nix and a legit ground game. September done; pretenders exposed, strutters still strutting.
UK view: RedZone remains your Sunday anchor at 6 pm BST. Late window kicks 21:05/21:25. Monday’s double-headers start after 1 am BST. Caffeine + snacks = survival.
