NFL.com has released their Week 4 Power Rankings. Brock Purdy, 2026 stats, 789 pass yards, nine touchdowns, one interception. Mahon Boy, 812, seven pass TDs, two interceptions. Dak Prescott, seven TDs, one interception.
Josh Allen, 786, five TDs, two interceptions, six rush touchdowns, but also has three fumbles. Trevor Lawrence, 616 passing yards, seven TDs, two interceptions. Three of these quarterbacks are undefeated. The others are two and one, are undefeated, and the others are two and one. And the other just lost a heartbreaker in Brazil. Damn. Look, your quarterback plays well. More times than not, you're gonna win. It's really that simple.
It's unlike, I guess you could say it's kind of like, well, it's not like baseball because you're starting pitch, you could have a rough three or four innings, and then, you know, the rest of your pitchers could close the door and not let anybody get hit in your offense, take over, knock it. This guy don't play well? It's hard to overcome a bad quarterback play in the NFL now.
Chad Johnson (1:13)
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe (1:14)
It's really hard.
Chad Johnson (1:15)
It's damn impossible. And most of the time when quarterback do play bad, you can survive, you know, bad quarterback play. And if you have one hell of a defense, one really, I'm talking about really good defense, but they have to be very, very good, very good. So most of the time, I mean, I'm surprised the culprits that are in the top, that are playing right now, it's expected.
Shannon Sharpe (1:39)
Yeah.
Chad Johnson (1:39)
I expect Brock Perdy to play well. I'm expecting Patrick Mahomes even coming off ACL at 80%. He's still better than almost, almost everybody.
Shannon Sharpe (1:48)
Yeah.
Chad Johnson (1:49)
You know, so I expect, I expect Dak to throw for the numbers he's throwing for because he's done it countless times and time and time again. That's never been his issue. Never been his problem.
Josh Allen has been Josh Allen for who knows how long.
Shannon Sharpe (2:03)
Sometimes, Ocho, your quarterback can play bad, but the opposing team quarterback plays just as bad, if not worse, and you'll win, a la Buffalo.
Ain't no way in hell Buffalo's supposed to win that game on Sunday. But because Justin Herbert was just as bad, maybe worse, Josh Allen was able to play as bad as he did and win the ball game.
Chad Johnson (2:32)
That's crazy.
Shannon Sharpe (2:37)
Oh, Dak, hello.
What Dak doing number three? Well, hello, man. You see, what you mean? Seven touchdowns, one interception. What you mean? What he doing number three? He ain't won by one game. But he didn't do that because the quarterback got hurt. Then we ain't won by one game because our defense been sus. We cleaning that up, but don't act like he been out there.
Chad Johnson (2:56)
How y'all cleaning up?
Shannon Sharpe (2:57)
What y'all got? Ajax?
Chad Johnson (2:59)
What y'all got?
Shannon Sharpe (3:00)
What y'all cleaning up with?
We getting better. We getting better. Don't worry about that. Huh? Who? Who we got this week, man?
My Cowboys, bro, what you mean? Y'all got, y'all losing, don't matter. Cardinals, I think y'all got the Cardinals. Oh boy, you know that. Oh, the Texans. Oh, you know y'all not winning.
Chad Johnson (3:22)
Hey, Joe, and that's the funny thing about it, too. Just, if you understand the way football goes, right? If you understand how the football guards work in general, they're not going to allow the Texans to go 0-4.
Shannon Sharpe (3:31)
Yeah, why come they ain't? Why come, who you is? So what make you think they ain't go, what you?
Chad Johnson (3:36)
No, I'm just saying, Joe, listen, I'm not talking about the Cowboys in general. I'm just saying the way the game is slated and the fact that the Houston Texans are 0-3. The football gods aren't going to allow them to be 0-4.
That's just the way it works, Joe. I'm telling you. Joe, I tell you what, if you're a bet man, and that's anybody, listen, if you're a bet man, I understand, guarantee you the Texans win this game. And there's nothing against the Cowboys. It's just the way the game goes. It's just the way the game is.
Shannon Sharpe (4:02)
Hold on, didn't the other night, didn't all of us just bet against the damn Bears the other night, cause Caleb Williams didn't play? Then we all bet, we all said that, who was it they played the other night?
Chad Johnson (4:13)
Philly.
Shannon Sharpe (4:13)
Who the Bears?
Philly. Philly. We said that Philly was gonna walk the dog on them.
