It was a Sunday of records and highlights-reel performances in week four as Patrick Mahomes celebrated his 100th regular season start with a win, while Jayden Daniels announced himself as a new star of the league.
The Kansas City Chiefs keep finding ways to win as the Jacksonville Jaguars find new ways to lose, while the Washington Commanders continue to surprise with record-setting rookie Daniels pulling the strings.
The Minnesota Vikings warmed up for their trip to London with a win, but Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets head to the UK with a bitter defeat to swallow.

Mahomes celebrated his 100th regular season start with a record 78th victory – two more than Tom Brady and Roger Staubach’s previous best – while he also holds the records for the most completed passes, touchdowns and passing yards in the first 100 games of a career.
Mahomes has now won all 12 career games when the Chiefs have trailed by exactly 10 points with Sunday’s 17-10 victory at the Los Angeles Chargers – their 10th in a row.
The three-time Super Bowl champion had gone 30 games with a 50-yard TD pass before hitting speedster Xavier Worthy with a 54-yarder during the comeback, which again was built on the back of the team’s solid defence.
Injury problems are mounting though as Mahomes himself impaired his own top receiver Rashee Rice when trying to make a tackle, which just added to what in many statistical categories has been his worst four-game start to a season.
The only stat that really counts though is that the Chiefs are 4-0.
