Is C4 a good move here? Or does white risk overextending? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

c4 Nxb4 c5 Qe7 h4 Na6

After c5 Qe7

Nxe6 and it's hard to find a response. Not taking the knight sacrifices the exchange of a rook for a knight and taking the knight runs into an infiltrating rook while also losing the b4 knight. I don't think Nxb4 is a move honestly.
