Most passing yards in the NFL after 4 weeks

Geno Smith is at the top of the list, followed by the likes of Brock Purdy and Dak Prescott. Check out the passing leaders.

Geno Smith leads the NFL with 1,182 passing yards

Geno Smith jumped to the league lead in passing thanks to a 395-yard performance against the Lions on Monday Night Football. The only problem is that it was a 42-29 loss for the Seahawks. Regardless, Seattle is off to a 3-1 start and is in first place in the NFC West. Smith threw for 327 yards in Week 2 and 289 yards in Week 3 before a huge performance in Week 4.

Sam Darnold defeated the Vikings 4-0

Sam Darnold and the Vikings continue to shock the NFL with a 4-0 victory after defeating the Packers 31-29 last week. Darnold has thrown for 11 touchdown passes and 932 yards this year. He threw three touchdown passes against the Packers to give the Vikings a game lead over the 3-1 Lions in the NFC North.

Joe Burrow is picking up speed after a slow start

The Bengals started 0-3 but picked up a decisive win against the Panthers in Week 4. Joe Burrow had a difficult start to the season as the Bengals were beaten 16-10 by the Patriots in the opener. Burrow only had 164 passing yards and no touchdowns in that game. Since then, Burrow has thrown fantastically for seven touchdowns and just one interception.

Last week, Burrow was 22/31 for 232 yards and 2 touchdowns in a 34-24 win over Carolina.
