Breaking down the NFL standings coming out of Week 4

The NFL is headed into prime time for its final two games of Week 4. Tom Brady and the Bucs head into Foxboro to face the Patriots on Sunday Night Football and then the Raiders and Chargers face off in LA to close things out on Monday Night Football.
