The Las Vegas Raiders suffered their first loss of the 2026 season in Week 4, falling to the Chiefs by just three points. But let's check in on a few old friends and see how Sunday fared for Khalil Mack, Davante Adams and Robert Spillane.

Khalil Mack

Score: 30-23 Chargers lose

Stats: 6 tackles, 2 TFLs, 1 sack

The Los Angeles Chargers are spiralling, losing their fourth game in as many tries on Sunday. However, Mack has quietly been having a good season, collecting his third sack and fourth TFL in the loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Ahead of the game, ESPN's Adam Schefter named the 35-year-old pass-rusher as a player to monitor ahead of the NFL trade deadline. Given the loss and his performance, one has to imagine those talks will only get louder moving forward.

Davante Adams

Score: 24-20 Rams win

Stats: 4 catches, 32 yards

This game was crazy, as the Los Angeles Rams were down by two possessions about halfway through the fourth quarter and managed to find the end zone on their final drives to pull out the road victory. Meanwhile, Adams wasn't much of a factor with Puka Nacua returning to the lineup, finishing as the team's fourth-leading receiver. Adams has been boom-or-bust so far in 2026, posting two games with more than 130 receiving yards and two games below 35.

Robert Spillane

Score: 29-26 Patriots win

Stats: 8 tackles (5 solo), 1 FF

Another contest that saw a lot of drama at the end. The New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills had five lead changes to give the Patriots a much-needed W'. That keeps New England in contention for the division title, while Buffalo still leads the AFC East at 3-1. Spillane tied for the team lead in tackles, bringing his total up to 28 in four games on the season. The linebacker also had a forced fumble right before the half, his first of the campaign.
