But only one player can be "him."

Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott
Stats to know: 31-of-40, 319 yards, 3 TDs; 1 carry, 2 yards, 1 TD
Micah Parsons' hyped return to Dallas set the stage for the Cowboys' matchup against the Green Bay Packers on "Sunday Night Football." And Prescott put on a show at AT&T Stadium.
He completed 77.5% of his passes for three touchdowns, added a rushing score and passed Troy Aikman as the franchise's all-time completions leader with No. 2,901. He hit eight different targets, led by George Pickens with eight catches for 134 yards and two scores, yet the Cowboys and Packers finished knotted at 40-40 in Dallas' first tie since 1969. To start overtime, Prescott memorably escaped Parsons' rush and dropped a 34-yard dime to Jalen Tolbert to the Green Bay 5, but the deadlock held.
Pittsburgh Steelers WR DK Metcalf
Stats to know: 5 receptions, 126 yards, 1 TD
The first-year Steeler shined against the Minnesota Vikings at Dublin's Croke Park, delivering his best outing since joining the team. Metcalf notched his first 100-yard game with Pittsburgh and piled up 122 yards before halftime -- the most he has had in any half during his seven-year career.
His biggest play was an 80-yard catch-and-run touchdown where Aaron Rodgers hit him on a crossing route, and Metcalf sped past Viking safety Theo Jackson to put the Steelers up 14-3 early in the second quarter.
New York Giants QB Jaxson Dart
Stats to know: 13-of-20, 100 yards, 1 TD; 10 carries, 54 yards, 1 TD
Dart jump-started the Giants with a rushing touchdown on their opening drive -- coincidentally against the chargers and Justin Herbert, the last quarterback to do it in a debut back in Week 2 of 2020.
The Giants rookie added a passing score and cleared 50 rushing yards, joining Tim Tebow to become just the second player since 2000 to post a passing touchdown, rushing TD and 50 rush yards in a first start. Dart also delivered New York's first win of the season and the league's first instance since 2008 of a team 0-3 or worse getting its first win over an undefeated opponent.
Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua
Stats to know: 13 receptions, 170 yards, 1 TD
Nacua rolled into Week 4 as the NFL's receiving leader and torched the Indianapolis Colts for 170 more yards. He's up to 42 receptions and 503 yards, which comfortably leads the league. The catches match his former teammate Cooper Kupp (2022) and Michael Thomas (2018) for the most through four games in NFL history.
Sunday marked Nacua's sixth career outing of 150-plus receiving yards (including playoffs), which trails only Justin Jefferson (8) and Randy Moss (7) through a player's first three seasons. Keeping his current pace for 17 games would land Nacua well past the NFL single-season records of 149 receptions and 1,964 yards.
