Week 4 of the NFL season featured dramatic fourth-quarter comebacks, quarterbacks who redeemed themselves, quarterbacks who continued to struggle and three teams left standing with undefeated records.Here’s all the action you need to know about from Sunday.Redemption for Drake MayeThe first three weeks of the season were forgettable for New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye.
