Opinion·Monday night
Nathan is down 24, and the back who could save it has not played.
Holden is sitting at 121 with Adams still to go. Kyren is the only thing left on Nathan’s card.

Had Nathan first this week and isn’t looking for a reason to move him.

Nathan is at 96.64 and Holden is at 121.04, which is a 24-point hole with one football game left. Both of them still have a Rams player who has not taken a snap. Kyren is at zero for Nathan, Adams is at zero for Holden, and they play each other tonight at 8:15. For Nathan to keep the 4–0, Kyren has to outscore Adams by about 25 in the same game. That is a lot to ask one back. It is also not a result yet.
The rest of Nathan’s card already had its Sunday, and it was quieter than the month that got him here. Gibbs had 32.7 and Evans had 19.3, then CeeDee managed 0.9 and the Dallas defense came in at minus 2, with Dak as the starter. This is the quiet week the trophy pick had not seen yet. There is a second thing sitting under it. Through four weeks he was 4–0 without ever posting the league’s high score, and that had not happened on the weekly tape. Hefner started 4–0 in 2019 and again in 2022, Lucas did it in 2023, and each of those teams had the high score at least once along the way. Tonight can take the unbeaten start. It cannot rewrite those four weeks.
