The early window for Week 4 is closed, and we saw some close games. In the grudge match between the New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons, the Falcons won on a huge field goal from Younghoe Koo, the longest of his career. The Minnesota Vikings took a big early lead over the Green Bay Packers, but were then challenged by the surging Packers late in the game. The Vikings did manage to pull out the win, and with the Pittsburgh Steelers’ loss to the Indianapolis Colts, are now the NFL’s last undefeated team

Colts QB Anthony Richardson won’t return with hip injury
Indianapolis quarterback Anthony Richardson has taken some hard hits vs. Pittsburgh. (AP Photo/Michael Conroy) Anthony Richardson left Sunday’s game twice on the same drive. And he won’t return to the game.
Richardson, who was knocked out early in three of his four games for the Indianapolis Colts last season, left with another injury against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He left the game briefly during a drive, after he was hit as he went down at the end of a run and grabbed at his hip, and was replaced by Joe Flacco. Later in the drive Richardson was back, and tried to run to his left. It seemed his leg gave out and he awkwardly slid down.
Richardson limped a bit and then came back out. He headed straight back to the locker room with the athletic training staff. Flacco came back in and threw a touchdown right away to Josh Downs. The Colts said Richardson had a hip injury. He was initially announced as questionable to return, but was later downgraded to out.
It wasn’t good news for the Colts, whose focus all offseason was how to keep Richardson healthy. Richardson had struggled through three games but at least he had stayed healthy. That changed Sunday, bringing up bad memories of his injuries last season and all the talk offseason about his durability.
