The fans are back, the crowds are loud, but home-field advantage still isn’t a factor early this NFL season.

Baltimore Ravens fans cheer during the second half of an NFL football game against the Denver Broncos, Sunday, Oct. 3, 2021, in Denver.

The .484 winning percentage for home teams is the sixth-worst since the merger through four weeks of game action. This is the third straight season that home teams failed to have a winning record through four weeks, something that hadn't happened before that since 1983.There was some expectation that would change this season when road teams would once again have to deal with loud crowds that forced silent counts and made running offense more difficult.

Chicago's Justin Fields and Zach Wilson of the Jets came out on the winning side last week, marking the first time this season a rookie QB won a game started against a non-rookie. It also marked the first time since Week 3 in the 2019 season that two rookie QBs earned their first win in the same week. Daniel Jones and Gardner Minshew did it that week.

Only third-rounder Davis Mills struggled with four interceptions and 87 yards passing in Houston's 40-0 loss to Buffalo. The Bills were also the first team since the 2009 Jets to have two shutouts of 35-0 or better in the same season. New York beat the Raiders 38-0 and Bengals 37-0 that season.Kansas City's dynamic coach-QB duo of Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes hit a couple of milestones in Philadelphia last week.

Mahomes also had his 25th game with at least three TD passes, including all four this season. Only Tom Brady , Steve Young , Dan Marino and Kurt Warner have done that.
