Throughout the 2024 season, NFL Network analysts will provide one bold prediction heading into each week’s slate of games (see the full Week 4 schedule).
The Seahawks prove their 3-0 start isn’t a fluke with offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb and Geno Smith showcasing their new passing attack in Detroit on Monday Night Football. The veteran quarterback tosses four touchdown passes — with DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba all getting in on the action — to lead the ‘Hawks to an upset win over the Lions, making Seattle 4-0 for the first time since 2020.
Sunday Night Football is the game everyone is looking forward to this weekend, mainly due to the Josh Allen–Lamar Jackson matchup. But it won’t be a quarterback making the ultimate difference in the game’s outcome. The historically automatic Justin Tucker has shockingly missed three field goals in three weeks, failing to convert each of his two attempts from 50-plus yards. On Sunday evening, Tucker perfects his technique to make three field goals, including a game-winner from more than 50 yards out.
The Bears discovered a downfield passing game last week. While their offensive problems are far from solved, Caleb Williams‘ 363-yard outing reaffirmed that Chicago’s potential franchise quarterback has (ahem) potential. This week, Caleb and the Bears take aim at a Rams secondary that has been abused through its first three games. If Williams and fellow rookie Rome Odunze can continue their deep-ball magic, Chicago’s new QB hope could have the most productive day of his young career with three touchdown passes.
Fresh off spearheading the best offensive performance in recent Panthers history, Andy Dalton will host his former franchise, the still-winless Bengals, in an epic, feline revenge game. With Lou Anarumo’s defense struggling mightily so far in 2024, the Red Rifle will come out firing and feed Diontae Johnson for a Carolina-record 15 catches (passing Steve Smith Sr.) en route to a shocking 26-24 upset in Charlotte.
In a battle of dual-threat Heisman Trophy winners, Jayden Daniels and Kyler Murray put on a show in the desert. The Commanders rookie, coming off a breakout performance in prime time, continues to dazzle with his arm and legs, out-rushing AND out-passing the Cardinals veteran.
