It’s hard to say that Week 4 is critical in the NFL, but there will be significant playoff ramifications for a lot of the top teams.
On this week’s slate of games, five of them pit two teams with winning records (either 3-0 or 2-1). All five of them are division games (Lions-Packers, Dolphins-Bills, Buccaneers-Saints, Ravens-Browns and Commanders-Eagles).
Week 4 won’t even put us 25 percent of the way through the 2023 season, but many will point to those Week 4 games as the game that put one of the teams in the driver’s seat when division titles are won and lost.
