NFL Week 4, Fastest 2 Minutes, Patriots Big Win, Eagles Hit Rock Bottom, Bryce Young Is Elite Plus Who's Back Of The Week And MLB Playoffs

Episode of Pardon My Take · October 5, 2026 · 2 h 56 min

The Pardon My Take crew recaps every NFL Week 4 game of 2026, from the Patriots beating the Bills to the Eagles' collapse, plus MLB playoffs and Who's Back.

Summary

Dan Katz, PFT Commenter and producers Max Delente, Hank Lockwood, Memes and Zach recapped Week 4 of the 2026 NFL season, opening with their pun-filled Fastest Two Minutes segment. PFT Commenter lamented the Commanders' London loss to the Colts and criticized the officiating, while Hank celebrated the Patriots' 29-26 win in Buffalo on a late Drake Maye touchdown to Efton Chisholm. Katz argued Josh Allen's late interception was an unnecessary hero-ball throw and said he was buying stock in the winless Texans after their loss to the Cowboys, in which CeeDee Lamb caught 17 passes.

Max Delente described a miserable sports week capped by the injury-depleted Eagles blowing a 10-point fourth-quarter lead to the Rams, though he argued they would have lost regardless; a clip of him knocking down a sponsor sign was replayed. Katz praised Ben Johnson for winning games with three different quarterbacks as the Bears beat the Jets, while Memes said Aaron Glenn may need to be fired if the Jets do not start winning. Zach discussed the 0-4 Buccaneers and Todd Bowles's job security, and Katz defended Matt LaFleur against an anonymously sourced article.

The group also covered the Ravens, Giants, Vikings, 49ers, the dysfunctional 0-4 Chargers, the Chiefs' win over the Raiders, and Bryce Young's strong Sunday night performance against the Lions, with a tangent on How I Met Your Mother and corgi mixes. In Who's Back of the Week, Hank discussed a disputed fly ball off the Milwaukee roof in the Brewers-Padres series, Katz predicted the Brewers would win the World Series and argued Tony Romo deserved a second chance after leaving CBS following a drunk-driving arrest, PFT celebrated a U.S. win over Mexico, and Zach noted Tom Kim's Asian Games gold medal earning him a military exemption.
