Familiar faces, new places Week 4

The Buffalo Bills don't seem to miss their former players or coaches early in the season. Buffalo sits at 3-1 after back-to-back upsets over the Denver Broncos and Atlanta Falcons. Although the Bills are doing just fine without some familiar faces, here's a look at how former players fared in Week 4.

Stephon Gilmore, New England Patriots

Stephon Gilmore had a poor game on Sunday. The cornerback was responsible for blown coverage on a touchdown to Fozzy Whittaker during New England's matchup against Carolina. Gilmore was temporarily benched after the mistake, but came back into the game after an injury to Eric Rowe.

After New England came back to tie the Panthers, Gilmore was penalized for a hands-to-the-face penalty on a play that saw the Patriots sack Cam Newton. It was one of two hands-to-the-face penalties on Gilmore on Sunday. Carolina would go on to kick a game-winning field goal with four seconds remaining.

Sammy Watkins, Los Angeles Rams

The Los Angeles Rams picked up another big win on Sunday, but Sammy Watkins was rather quiet. After picking up two touchdowns in Week 3, Buffalo's former No. 1 wide receiver caught one pass against the Dallas Cowboys for 17 yards.

Robert Woods, Los Angeles Rams

Much like Sammy Watkins, Robert Woods didn't have much to show in Week 4 after a big week three outing. Woods was held to two catches for 17 yards in the Rams' win.

Nickell Robey-Coleman, Los Angeles Rams

Nickell Robey-Coleman recorded two tackles on Sunday against the Cowboys. Through four games, Robey-Coleman has 14 tackles, one interception, one forced fumble and three passes defensed.

Doug Marrone, Jacksonville Jaguars

One week, the Jacksonville Jaguars look like AFC South contenders, but they can't seem to build off of that momentum. After blowing out the Ravens in Week 3, the Jaguars lost 23-20 in overtime to the New York Jets. Jacksonville is 2-2 on the year and head to Pittsburgh in Week 5.

EJ Manuel, Oakland Raiders

Buffalo's former first round pick was called into action after Derek Carr suffered back ispasms against the Denver Broncos. EJ Manuel played well when called upon and completed 11-of-17 passes for 106 yards and one interception. Manuel's receivers and tight ends dropped a few passes on Sunday. The biggest drop came on a well thrown pass into the end zone to Jared Cook. The Raiders ultimately fell to the Broncos 16-10, but Manuel gave Oakland a shot at winning.

Anthony Lynn on defensive tackling: "Tackling is an attitude, tackling is a mindset" #Chargers pic.twitter.com/U8dMLiptyn — NICK HAMILTON (@NickHamiltonLA) October 1, 2017

Anthony Lynn, Los Angeles Chargers

The Bills' former interim coach fell to 0-4 on the year after a 26-24 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Lynn has to be disappointed with the Chargers' start, but they've lost by 3 points or less in three of their four losses. Los Angeles needs to find a way to win close games quickly if they hope to have any chance of turning their season around.

Marquise Goodwin, San Francisco 49ers

Marquise Goodwin caught one pass for 18 yards in the 49ers' overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Goodwin was targeted twice during the game.

Reggie Ragland was active for the first time all season in Week 3, but he never stepped foot on the field. Will Ragland play in Week 4? We'll see on Monday Night Football when the Chiefs take on Washington.
