NFL Rebels Update: Week Four
9/30/2025 | Football
OXFORD, Miss. – Here at OleMissSports.com, we are proud to update Rebel fans on the status of our former players who lace up their cleats on Sundays in the NFL.
Nineteen former Rebels played in Week Four. In Dublin, the Pittsburgh Steelers played against the Minnesota Vikings. Former Rebel DK Metcalf may be a bit bigger than your average leprechaun, but he found a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow this week, scoring an 80-yard touchdown to help lead the Steelers win, 24-21. Metcalf finished his day with five catches, 126 yards, and one touchdown. The game made history as the NFL’s first game played in Ireland.
New York Giants rookie Quarterback Jaxson Dart appeared sparingly in Week One, Two and Three, but earned his first start in Week Four. On the Giants’ first drive of the game, Dart was able to lead the offense down the field before scrambling up the middle for a 15-yard touchdown. In the end, he would finish 13-of-20 for 111 yards and a touchdown through the air, with 54 yards and a score on the ground. His effort helped to lead the Giants to their first victory of the season against the Los Angeles Chargers with a score of 21-18.
