Chiefs and 49ers remain unbeaten – five things from NFL week four

The Chiefs’ victory was highlighted by Kenneth Walker’s impressive performance, scoring two touchdowns in quick succession. Meanwhile, the 49ers secured a 24-14 win over the Denver Broncos, thanks to key plays by Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle. The Vikings continued their surprising unbeaten run with a 15-10 victory over the Miami Dolphins, relying on Will Reichard’s five field goals.

The Patriots’ quarterback, Drake Maye, bounced back after a tough start to the season, showing resilience after being benched the previous week.
