October 6, 2026

Former Arizona Wildcats continued to make an impact across the NFL in Week 4, with standout performances from multiple players. Carolina Panthers wide receiver **Tetairoa McMillan** delivered a career-high game with 16 receptions for 192 yards and two touchdowns in a 32-26 victory over the Detroit Lions.

His receiving yards mark the best single-game total of his professional career, following a strong collegiate track record that included a 304-yard outing for the Wildcats. McMillan’s breakout performance also earned him a 93.5 grade from Pro Football Focus, cementing his role as a key playmaker for the Panthers.

Meanwhile, Baltimore Ravens kicker **Tyler Loop** set a franchise record with a 64-yard field goal in a 24-18 win against the Tennessee Titans, the longest in M&T Bank Stadium history. Despite missing a late 40-yard attempt, Loop’s leg strength and clutch moment highlighted his growing reputation as a reliable long-range threat.

On defense, Los Angeles Chargers safety **Genesis Smith** stood out with a PFF grade of 67.9, the highest on a struggling Chargers unit that fell to 0-4. Arizona Cardinals defensive tackle **Roy Lopez** also chipped in with six tackles and two tackles for loss, putting him on pace for a career-high 60-tackle season.

Washington Commanders running back **Jacory Croskey-Merritt**, however, faced a tough outing with just 15 rushing yards on nine carries in a 30-13 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, continuing a season marked by limited impact.
