NFL Week 4 standouts: Puca Nacua, Ashton Jeanty, and Omarion Hampton steal the show
The 2025 NFL season has been nothing short of sensational, and Week 4 was no exception. From two rookie running backs’ breakouts to quarterback-to-receiver combos that delivered huge numbers, the weekend had a little bit of everything.
Here are the five standouts who made Week 4 their own.
Matthew Stafford and Puka Nacua, Los Angeles Rams
Calling what Stafford and Nacua have achieved in the last three years impressive would be a massive understatement.
On Sunday, the 24-year-old posted a career-high 170 yards, becoming the third player in league history to record at least eight receptions in each of his team’s first four games of a season, and proved the difference in helping the Rams power to a 3-1 record to start the current campaign.
Stafford deserves much of the credit. At 37, the veteran looks as sharp as ever, throwing for 375 yards and three scores, while showing no trace of the back injury that was meant to hold him back this year.
Ashton Jeanty, Las Vegas Raiders
The heralded rookie was a non-factor through the Raiders to start the year, held back by poor run blocking by Las Vegas's offensive line.
That all changed this weekend, when Jeanty nearly matched his rushing output from the first three games combined. He carried 21 times for 138 yards at 6.6 yards per clip, added two receiving touchdowns, and came agonisingly close to dragging the Raiders to victory in a 25-24 loss to the Bears.
Jordan Love and Romeo Doubs, Green Bay Packers
We couldn't ask for more than what Packers vs Cowboys gave us: a huge scoreline, constant lead changes, overtime tension, and the second-highest tie in league history.
Love amassed 337 yards and had three touchdowns, all of which were caught by Doubs. Granted, the Cowboys' secondary has been one of the most favourable matchups for opposing receivers, but it doesn't detract from what was an incredible performance from the Packers' pair.
Omarion Hampton, Los Angeles Chargers
The season-ending injury to Najee Harris thrust Hampton into the Bolts' lead-back role, and the results were outstanding in Week 4.
The first-round running back couldn't help the heavily-favoured Chargers from being upset by the New York Giants, but it wasn't for lack of effort. He amassed 128 yards at over 10 yards a carry and caught all five of his targets for 37 yards.
George Pickens, Dallas Cowboys
With CeeDee Lamb sidelined, Pickens was always going to be the Cowboys’ go-to target - and he duly delivered. His eight catches for 134 yards and two touchdowns marked his best game for his new team, and they couldn’t have come at a better time in a wild shootout.
