NFL Week 5: Recap & Review

Buccaneers def. Cowboys 24-16: In this upset, Dallas just couldn’t get anything going on either side of the ball. Tampa’s backup rookie quarterback Jalon Daniels helped give the Bucs their first win of the season. 

Jaguars def. Eagles 19-17: In this last second thriller, Philadelphia needs to make major decisions very soon if they want to compete. Jacksonville didn’t look great, but they got the job done. 

Giants tie Commanders 27-27: The NFC East might as well be called the NFC Least this season. With poor clock management, Washington lost this opportunity to win. 

Jets def. Browns 17-12: The Jets defense has been lowkey incredible this year, and they held Cleveland to a very stagnant offense. New York’s future could be bright. 

Steelers def. Colts 34-22: This was Pittsburgh’s best all around game this season. Aaron Rodgers turned back the clock and posted three touchdowns in the victory.

Texans def. Titans 26-3: Houston finally got their first win of the season and traded for Marvin Harrison Jr after the game. For Tennessee, this is one of the clear cut worst teams in football. 

Vikings def. Saints 23-13: Minnesota’s defense this year has been the best in the NFL. They held Tyler Shough to 96 passing yards and two interceptions. The problem is, the Vikings offense has to be better if they want to win a championship. 

Patriots def. Raiders 45-17: New England seems to be getting their groove back, and the Raiders seem like they are coming back down to earth. 

Bengals def. Dolphins 31-24: Miami is battling with Tennessee for worst team in the league, and giving Malik Willis $67.5 million dollars is a joke. 

Packers def. Bears 31-7: Chicago desperately needs their franchise quarterback in Caleb Williams back. Green Bay had a field day against this Bears team.

Broncos def. Chargers 23-17: The Chargers now fall to 0-5, and their schedule isn’t going to get any easier. For Denver, this was a big divisional win. 

Lions def. Cardinals 45-21: Detroit’s offense can explode at any point in time, and that is exactly what happened against the Cardinals Sunday. 

49ers def. Seahawks 32-29: In this classic NFC West matchup, as expected, it was a shootout. Both defenses forced turnovers, both offenses did their part, but San Fran had the upper hand. 

Ravens def. Falcons 30-23: After a costly injury to Michael Penix, Tua Tagovailoa came in the game and immediately threw a game sealing interception. For Baltimore, winning without Lamar Jackson is a huge positive.  

Bills def. Rams 37-34: This could honestly be a potential Super Bowl matchup if both teams continue to play like this. Both offenses were nearly unstoppable. Josh Allen had 210 yards in the air and 121 yards on the ground in his first career overtime win.
