Nathan’s unbeaten start ended on a back who needed 25.

Nathan needed Kyren to outscore Adams by about 25 points in the same game, and that is not what happened. Kyren finished at 13.6. Adams finished at 17.1. Holden won it, 138.14 to 110.24, and the 4–0 is over. Both of them are 4–1. The hole Nathan took into Monday was already 24 points, and the night made it a little wider instead of closing it.

The rest of his card had already told you what kind of week it was going to be. Gibbs had 32.7 and Evans had 19.3, then CeeDee managed 0.9 and the Dallas defense came in at minus 2. Pickens had 19 on the bench, which stings and still would not have covered a 24-point hole by itself. Holden got there with Goff at 29, the Jets defense at 18, and Adams doing just enough. Bijan had 11.8, so the hammer was quiet again, and Stafford had 27 sitting on the bench next to a Goff week that was basically the same number. The sit was not the story. The lead was.

Through four weeks Nathan had been the first 4–0 on the tape who never posted the league’s high score. He still has not posted one. Fuss just made it four weeks on top. The unbeaten start is gone, and the thing underneath it is still true. Week 6 is Devyn.
