Metlife Stadium became the epicenter of major injuries again in Week 4, which has occurred often in years past.

This time, it started with the Dallas Cowboys’ 20–15 win over the New York Giants on Sept. 26, when two star players, Micah Parsons and Malik Nabers, sustained injuries on back-to-back plays. Then, Denver Broncos running back Tyler Badie’s head hit the turf on a hit by Jets linebacker Quincy Williams on Sept. 29, and Badie was carted off during the Broncos’ 10–9 win over the New York Jets.
