Kenny Pickett's charge & Dallas Cowboys controversy?: 5 big takeaways from NFL Week 4

The NFL has finished Week 4 of operations, and just like any other week, there are plenty of storylines to go through.

Reports are that Pickett is expected to start moving forward, and if he can kick start the team in the long-run the way he did on Sunday, then the Steelers might be on track to
