Terps in the NFL Week 4: Banks pick-6 seals Giants win over Cardinals

October 6, 2026

Week 4 action featured several standout performances from former Maryland standouts across the NFL, highlighted by a dramatic defensive play that clinched a victory for New York. Deonte Banks provided the defining moment by intercepting a late pass and returning it nearly the length of the field for a touchdown, securing a 36-24 win over Arizona at MetLife Stadium.

The cornerback also contributed four deflected passes and tackles following his return from a calf injury, helping push his club to a 3-1 record and the top spot in the division. Elsewhere, various alumni impacted their respective matchups, though some battled health setbacks.

Buffalo wide receiver DJ Moore exited early with a shoulder injury after recording a reception and a rush against New England, while teammate Ty Johnson added modest rushing and receiving totals. Washington wide receiver Stefon Diggs hauled in five catches, and tight end Chig Okonkwo returned from a hamstring absence to catch two passes against Indianapolis.

Other contributors included kicker Chad Ryland supplying a long field goal for the Cardinals, safety Dante Trader Jr. making five tackles for Miami, and linebacker Josh Woods logging three stops for Atlanta, while Jacksonville safety Jalen Huskey was inactive and New Orleans lineman Alan Herron stayed on the practice squad.
