NFL Week 4 Sunday winners and losers: Vikings keep it up, Jets quiet down originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

With September coming to a close, NFL teams are starting to figure themselves out.

The fourth week of the 2024 season has already brought about several upsets, last-second surprises and more.

Here are all the winners and losers from Sunday’s action:

WINNER: Vikings just keep rolling

The Minnesota Vikings won’t stop winning.

Sam Darnold came out firing at Lambeau Field on Sunday as the Vikings jumped out to a 28-0 lead. Jordan Love — returning from an MCL sprain — helped get the Packers within 28-22 early in the fourth quarter. But Minnesota answered with a field goal to put the game out of reach and seal a 31-29 win.

He now has 11 touchdowns in four games for the undefeated Vikings, who will head overseas to London next week for a date with the New York Jets. Love and the Packers are 2-2 after his four-touchdown, three-interception performance.

The Buccaneers earned a 33-16 win over the Eagles after jumping out to a 24-0 lead in the opening 23 minutes. Baker Mayfield finished the game with 347 passing yards and three total touchdowns as Tom Brady watched his successor slice and dice the Philly defense. Temperatures felt like over 100 degrees throughout the hotly-contested game.

Tampa Bay is now 3-1 and in sole possession of the NFC South lead, while the Eagles dropped to 2-2.

WINNER: Bengals on the board, finally (AND JAGS?)
