NFL Week 5 is kicking off Sunday at 1:00 PM Eastern, and while the Philadelphia Eagles already did their thing in London, the rest of the day is absolutely packed with early action that’s gonna set the tone for a bunch of teams across the league. This isn’t just another Sunday, folks, this is where teams prove what they’re made of as the season gets rolling.
Early Season Shakers and Shockers
The Minnesota Vikings are rolling, sitting at a perfect 4-0 coming into this week, facing off against the 1-3 New Orleans Saints. Can anyone stop them? On the flip side, what is going on with the Miami Dolphins? They’re sitting at a dismal 0-4 and desperately need to turn things around when they face the 2-2 Cincinnati Bengals. But the real high-stakes drama? That’s gotta be the Houston Texans vs. Tennessee Titans game. Both these squads are at 0-4, which means one team is finally getting off the zero in the win column. Talk about pressure!
We also see some solid 3-1 teams like the Chicago Bears, New York Giants, Las Vegas, and Cleveland Browns, all looking to keep their momentum. The Bears are up against the 2-2 Green Bay Packers, the Giants are in an NFC East battle with the 1-3 Washington Commanders, Las Vegas takes on the 2-2 New England Patriots, and the Browns are playing the 1-3 New York Jets. Other teams trying to find their footing include the 1-3 Washington Commanders, New Orleans Saints, and New York Jets. Then you’ve got the middle-of-the-pack teams like the 2-2 Indianapolis Colts and Pittsburgh Steelers battling it out.
