Previous: . Atlanta Falcons. 18. team. 44. . 2-2

Arthur Smith’s club played host to the Browns. The Falcons got off to a strong start thanks in part to Cordarrelle Patterson’s 13-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. But Atlanta would eventually trail 13-10 after three quarters.

Smith’s team wound up running for 202 yards with help from Tyler Allgeier (84 yards), as well as Caleb Huntley (56 yards) – the latter scoring a TD as well. And Dee Alford picked off Jacoby Brissett late in the game.

13. . 2-2. Previous: . Los Angeles Chargers. 17. team

Off a humbling home loss to the Jaguars, the Bolts headed to Houston for the second consecutive year. And Brandon Staley’s team jumped out to a 21-0 second-quarter lead. Justin Herbert threw for 340 yards and two scores.

The biggest contributor to the scoring fest was running back Austin Ekeler, who ran for a pair of TDs in the second quarter and added a 14-yard touchdown reception with 2:28 to play to give the Chargers a little insurance.

Previous: . Cincinnati Bengals. 16. team. 56. . 2-2

The reigning AFC champions looked to even their record as they hosted the 3-0 Dolphins on Thursday night. The Cincinnati running game was stymied for the most part, limited to 67 yards on 30 attempts with a long run of seven yards.

Joe Burrow threw for 287 yards and a pair of TDs and was sacked only once. Cincinnati came up with two interceptions and played turnover-free ball. And the Bengals were the only AFC North team to win in Week 4.
