Here are 10 things from NFL Week 4 that intrigue me:
1. Will Dak Prescott continue to make a case to be the starter when Tony Romo returns? Prescott has done some really good things, and he hasn't turned it over, which is really important. But now there are three games of tape on him, which defensive coordinators say is needed to figure out trends and tendencies. It will be interesting to see if this shows up in San Francisco against the 49ers this week.
2. Does it matter who plays quarterback for the Patriots? Don't you get the feeling that even if Julian Edelman had to play quarterback, the Patriots would find a way? Bill Belichick has put on a coaching clinic the past three weeks. With Rex and Rob Ryan coming to town, what's to think that will change -- no matter who plays quarterback?
3. The Vikings defense against Eli Manning and the Giants offense: The Vikings beat Aaron Rodgers and Cam Newton in successive weeks behind the play of their power defense. They sacked Newton, who is mobile, eight times last week. Manning isn't nearly as mobile, so the pressure will be on that Giants offensive line. Can it hold up?
4. Will the Falcons' top-scoring offense keep it rolling against the Panthers? Matt Ryan is off to a fast start as the Falcons have beat up on some bad defenses. Now they get a tougher test in division rival Carolina. The Panthers aren't great rushing the passer, which should help Ryan continue to stay hot throwing it around.
5. Can Carson Palmer bounce back against a good Rams defense? Palmer hasn't been good in two of his three games this season and is coming off a stinker in Buffalo. He has to get the deep ball going since it's such a big part of the Cardinals offense. It hasn't been there so far in 2016. Is this the game it shows up? It won't be easy against that Rams front since those plays take time to develop.
6. Can Russell Wilson tough it out through a knee sprain against a good Jets front? He is one of the toughest quarterbacks in the league, which is why he will play this week even though the Seahawks have a bye next week. Should he play? Hey, it's on the player to decide that. The big question is how limited will he be in terms of movement since that's a huge part of his game.
7. Will the Jaguars open it up against the Colts? The Jaguars took a lot of heat this week for being way too conservative in Week 3 against the Ravens. They might be going to more up-tempo stuff, and they should. They can't run it the way they are constructed and they have so many weapons in the passing game. Blake Bortles has struggled because of the way they are playing -- as much as compounding those struggles with his own issues.
8. How will the Texans defense play without J.J. Watt? Watt wasn't playing like himself in the first three games, but he will still be missed. He's a force even when he's not himself. It means guys like Jadeveon Clowney and Whitney Mercilus have to pick it up in the pass rush. They also re-signed Antonio Smith to help the run defense. Watt will be missed, even if he wasn't the same J.J Watt in the first three games.
9. Will the Raiders' Khalil Mack get a sack? It's hard to believe he doesn't have one in his first three games. He has been getting pressure, and teams have helped on him a lot in terms of double teams, but he has to get home at some point. Does it happen against the Ravens this week?
10. The Chiefs secondary and Marcus Peters against the Steelers passing game and Antonio Brown: Peters is an aggressive ball hawk who had two of Kansas City's six picks last week. He gambles at times, which could also lead to some big plays. You do that against Brown, and he will kill you. He is such a good route runner.
