Despite a 24-point loss to Monday Night Football, the Redskins remain in first place in the NFC East.
Is NFC East the new AFC South? The Browns are back? Will rams or bosses silence Mercury Morris?
Let's take a look at the best NFL scenarios after the fifth week.
The biggest NFL stories of the 5th week
1. Eagles still have a hangover
It did not seem like the Eagles were celebrating like the Capitals after their championship, but it looks like it's like that after five weeks. Philadelphia is 2 or 3 years old and also needs a running back (Jay Ajayi is out for the season with a torn ACL).
Even with Ajayi on the field, the Eagles struggled to score. Philadelphia has scored more than 24 points in his matches. Last season, they scored 24 points or more in 12 games.
That being said, the Eagles remain half a game away from the Redskins for first place in the NFC East.
2. The champagne stays on the ice
The Miami Dolphins in 1972 still have plenty of time to make waves, but there are still two undefeated teams in the last five weeks in the NFL, the Chiefs and Rams.
Handing over the keys to Patrick Mahomes worked very well for the chefs. Mahomes finally launched an interception in the Chiefs victory over the Jaguars on Sunday (he even launched two). Nevertheless, a ratio of 14 to 2 hit per intercept is quite strong.
Do you remember when we thought Jared Goff was going bankrupt? Well, he is not. Goff leads the NFL by the way and is a budding superstar. The Rams have a wealth of trouble in attack and Sean McVay (I know it hurts fans of the Redskins) can not be wrong in orchestrating things on the sidelines.
What is surprising is that the Rams defense has had difficulties over the last two weeks, giving 31 points to the Vikings and Seahawks.
3. Everyone is a winner!
Are the 2008 Browns and Lions celebrating when the last NFL team wins? Probably not.
But if they did, they would have celebrated Sunday because the Arizona Cardinals signed their first win of the season, a 28-18 victory for the 49ers.
When will the Rams officially win the NFC West? L.A is three parts on 2-3 Seattle. Arizona and San Francisco are 1-4.
I think it's safe to say that the Rams are going to win this division.
4. Latest news: the patriots will be fine
If the ardent takers had proclaimed that the Patriots were dead, they would have lost twice in a row.
When will they stop doing this? In the past two weeks, the Patriots have destroyed the Dolphins and scored 38 points in a win against the Colts on Thursday night.
Will the Patriots win another Super Bowl this year? I do not know. But do not forget that their home remains the most beautiful of the most unpleasant neighborhoods (it is an analogy with the fact that the AFC East is bad).
Another game in January in Foxboro seems likely.
5. What happened to Dak Prescott?
It was not so long ago that Dak could do nothing wrong. After replacing Tony Romo, injured, Prescott helped the Cowboys to record a 13-3 record and a title at NFC East. He was selected for the Pro Bowl and was named NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.
Prescott now ranks 24th and the completion rate is the lowest (61.8%).
After the 2016 season, people would have looked at you as if you had three heads if you had told them that Jared Goff would be better than Prescott.
Dak is not the only problem in Dallas. The Cowboys have a lot of problems, including a head coach who decided to attack the ball on the 42-yard line in overtime.
It does not look like a team that will win more than five or six games.
6. Kickers.
It was a strange season for kickers. Daniel Carlson and Zane Gonzalez both lost their jobs after dreadful performances in the second week. On Sunday, former Redskins kicker Graham Gano recorded a 63-yard game win in Carolina! Panther Cam Newton said of his kicker: "A wise man once said to me that super-quarters are as good as their kickers."
Then there was the Packers veteran kicker, Mason Crosby. He missed four goals and one more point in the 31-23 loss to the Lions in Green Bay. Crosby became the first kicker to miss four goals and one more point in the same game since Cole Ford of the Raiders in 1997, according to research by ESPN Stats & Information. From now on, the Packers will stay with Crosby.
And who said that kicks have to be pretty to be effective …
HE…
EAST…
GOOOOOOOOOD !!!!!!
