Best NFL Pictures From Week 4: Dallas Collapses, Kansas City Victorious, And Colts Still Miss Peyton

Best NFL Pictures From Week 4
|

If there is one enduring image from the fourth week of the NFL season it is Tony Romo brushing off Cowboys owner Jerry Jones in the closing minutes of Dallas' franchise-record 24 point collapse to the Detroit Lions. While this game may have been the story of Week 4, Romo wasn't the only quarterback who struggled. Mark Sanchez of the Jets had a QB rating of 0.6 during his game against the Ravens, the lowest rating attained by a player with at least 40 snaps since 2008.

But what served as a setback week for some proved to be a breakthrough for others. The injury ravaged Kansas City Chiefs finally got into the victory column with a win over Minnesota and Redskins running back Ryan Torain may have locked down the starting tailback position in Washington with a remarkable 135-yard breakout performance.

Below, we have compiled some of our favorite images from the week that was in the NFL for you to browse and vote on.
