Summary of NFL Week 5: Top 11 and 5 worst Sunday Times

Welcome to our first Sunday of the NFL, the scariest month. Week 5 will haunt a few teams – and most kickers in the league, especially Mason Crosby – but it was a huge day for some teams that really needed victories, like the Steelers and Vikings.

The home teams remained undefeated in the early afternoon, including the Panthers defeating the Giants in a 63-yard field goal and the Browns won a real victory on a Sunday (in overtime, of course, as this is that the Browns are doing now.).

The Chiefs and Rams remained perfect, while the last winless team, the Cardinals, finally got their first win of the year.

The Chiefs and Jaguars waged a battle between offensive and defense. As it is emblematic of today's NFL, the offensive has been won. Patrick Mahomes had his worst game yet – he had two choices and no interceptions – but he was still better than Blake Bortles in the Chiefs' 30-14 victory.

Texans and Cowboys finished the day with an extension Sunday evening football match because everything is bigger in Texas or whatever.

Find all the action on Sunday with our best and worst moments:

Best: Dak and Nuk go for a ride

Dak Prescott did not have the best statistical game against the Texans. He has made two choices – both of which have rebounded in the hands of his receivers, like all the other interceptions he has launched this year.

But has escaped from several contenders to make this big pitch:

This allowed the Cowboys to achieve their goal. They tied her up and the match was finally extended …

… where DeAndre Hopkins did that, which made the game interesting to watch:

The Texans found themselves in the end zone, and the 36 yards gave them a 19-16 win.

Worse: Attack on the Texans goal line

The Texans have Deshaun Watson, a double threat quarterback who can create imaginary games on the fly. But he's not really a bulldozer. And he has an offensive line in stamen. So why do they keep trying this on the goal line?

Again and again. Five trips in the red zone. A touchdown.

But hey, they got the win.

Best: Odell Beckham and Saquon Barkley Corrected the Giants' Offense

Beckham made waves before taking his place on the pitch in Week Five, highlighting his offense with an overly honest critique of New York's flawed performances in 2018. His coach, Pat Shurmur, heard these complaints – and gave Beckham every chance of fixing his wrongs by making him a receiver, punt and quarterback.

His comeback position was a net negative for the Giants, but the second pass of his five-year career has proven to be the longest hit, in terms of airtime. New York has had in a year:

The first touchdown of his professional career was good for Barkley. His second was great. Barkley defied the laws of physics (and, fortunately, avoided major injuries).

That should have been enough to lead New York to its biggest win of the 2018 season. But …

Best: Graham Gano would not let the Giants win

An ineffective two-minute exercise ruined the Panthers 'return to the Giants' 45-yard line with 10 seconds remaining. It was just enough time for Gano to shine. The veteran kicker has managed one of the longest goals in the league history through the amounts, leaving enough room for maneuver to propel Carolina to a 3-1 start.

Gano's kick equaled the NFL record for the longest winning shot in league history.

Presented without comment:

D & # 39; agreement. A comment. The Titans settled after the fall, costing them four points. The Bills came back to win this game 13-12. Big, big drop.

Best: Josh Allen already holds the Bills record

In four games as a starter, Allen led the Bills to a 2-2 record with wins against the Vikings and Titans – a pair of 2017 playoff teams.

Skeptics still have many reasons to remain convinced that he will be a bust. Allen has only completed 10 of 19 passes for 82 yards without any touchdowns and an interception on Sunday. It's mainly the defense that held the Titans in check for a 13-12 win.

But if there's one thing Allen proved earlier this year against the Vikings and validated even more on Sunday, it's that he can run. The only touchdown of the day for Buffalo was a rushed 14-yard touchdown by the Titans defense.

The defense of the Titans is not easy to do. The Bills are the first of the season to score on the Titans right out of the doors:

The touchdown was Allen's third in the season, giving him a franchise record for touchdowns in a season by a rookie quarterback. The Bills quarterback record of the Bills has been around for more than 50 years. Jack Kemp's eight touchdowns of the 1963 season have not been touched. Allen can have a shot.

Apart from that, not many have worked well for the Bills offense. Trick plays? Nope.

Coaching challenges? Nope.

Are field goal attempts also tips? Nope.

But Allen leads the Bills fast and it worked for two wins.

Best: James Conner put the Steelers back on track

It's hard to call a fifth-week game a winner, but falling to 1-3-1 before AFC North's 4-1 win against the Bengals would have been disappointing. The Steelers desperately needed to come back to .500 and they won with a 41-17 win over the Falcons.

At the head of the revival of Pittsburgh, there was a player who needed a personal shake. James Conner started the year with a total of 192 yards and two touchdowns against the Browns, but was limited to 97 rushing yards in 32 races over the next three weeks.

The collapse ended Sunday with 110 yards rushing, 75 yards receiving and two touchdowns. The day started with the first touchdown of the Steelers team with Conner, Conner and others Conner:

The Steelers have been pretty miserable until now in 2018, but it seemed like they were back to have fun. JuJu Smith-Schuster even gave birth to a football – which is good, I suppose?

The Packers had no impact on rookie Jaire Alexander on Sunday, but it is possible that no one could stop Golladay on his 60-yard run through Green Bay High School.

This game led to a touchdown two games later, thus extending the advance that the Lions would not give up the fifth week.

Crosby is one of Green Bay's oldest players, a man who has made a lot of big shots during a 12-year career in Wisconsin. It's a veteran who has kept his best job for the biggest moments of the game, which includes a 26-29 playoff CV.

But it turned out to be a brittle Sunday, missing four goals and one more point against the Lions in a game that the Packers lost by eight points. Only an ultimate 41-yard kick with two seconds remaining on the clock prevented him from setting the NFL record for the NFL single game.

Meanwhile, all you needed to know about Sunday's match was written on the face of Aaron Rodgers.

Best: Leaders Throw Deep Back

The best way to win games against an incredibly talented defense, like the Jaguars, is to be creative in calling. Andy Reid did just that when throwing a deep half back Anthony Sherman.

It's a perfect shot from Patrick Mahomes to bring the ball to Sherman. Andy Reid called Jaguars defensive coordinator Todd Wash a very good match. It was a creative game to get a big jackpot of yards against Jacksonville.

It's been almost 10 months since Bortles' last pick, a sequence that helped the Jaguars go beyond expectations and make their way to the AFC title game last winter. A rejuvenated quarter could have been the difference between a Super Bowl race and a bitter disappointment. A big performance against the unbeaten Chiefs could put Jacksonville's claim on the AFC squad to the test.

Instead, the Jags got what Arrowhead Pride called "one of the worst shots of all time".

It was Bortles' 13th career choice – or as much as Tom Brady did in a career nearly four times longer. He ended his day with 430 yards passing, which is good, but also four interceptions, including that he removed from his helmet of lineman, which is extremely bad.

To add a cherry on the shit sundae that was a disappointing game between Chiefs and Jaguars, Jones, the man who made the choice of six, will then be kicked out for hitting a Jaguar at the foot of an attempt. adding points.

Best: Jets' offense has life after all!

After three consecutive weeks of scoring 17 points or less and three consecutive losses, the Jets found the same speed ratio that helped them crush the Lions in the first week.

Against the Broncos, it was a huge match after an offensive match for New York. It started with Isaiah Crowell who broke through the defense for a 77-yard touchdown:

In a way, this was the only touchdown for Crowell, despite the fact that he was setting a new franchise record with 219 rushing yards in the day. But Sam Darnold is also involved in this magnificent 76-yard touchdown to Robby Anderson – the longest hit of the Jets in 20 years.

There was another Darnold-Anderson connection for a 35 yard second quarter. Darnold also pitched the 20-yard pass to Terrelle Pryor, who brought it back with one hand to score his first touchdown with the Jets.

In total, the Jets totaled 512 yards, including more than 200 in their four touchdowns. The Broncos' defense is certainly not the same as it has been, but it's an impressive offensive day against all units.

Best: The Browns won on a Sunday!

For the first time since December 13, 2015, the Browns have won a North AFC victory – and a win on a Sunday. And they did it the same way: in overtime against the Ravens.

It was not without drama because it's the Browns. Just two seconds from the end, Greg Joseph – whom they signed after Zane Gonzalez missed several winning attempts – lined up for 37 yards. Despite the fact that he missed two kicks earlier in the match and that the blow was blocked, the goal was maintained:

And the Browns won 12-9. (Hopefully Hue Jackson got a "2" at the end because it was their second win and not because he thought the game, which was in sudden death, still had two seconds left. )

Worse: Derek Carr did not give the ball to Marshawn

Down 20-3, the Raiders were on the 1-yard line, about to score their first touchdown of the game. Derek Carr simulated the transfer to Marshawn Lynch and threw on a very open Melvin Ingram, who is, as you know, a defender of the Chargers:

If you had flashbacks at Super Bowl 49, you were not alone. As you can see after the choice, Lynch was very upset and tore his own helmet.

Worse: Carr had promised last year that he would give Lynch the ball at the starting line. SMH.

Listen, we know that the Piesman Trophy is a university award, but can there be an exception for Linval Joseph of 323 pounds?

Watch how the Vikings' defensive tackle accelerated at the end of this 60-yard touchdown:

And then after:

We would say he won that.

Best: Bold workout moves pay off

Here is something you do not see very often – but you should. The Eagles lost eight points following a touchdown by Wendell Smallwood:

Rather than pulling the extra point (a potentially dangerous shot on Sunday with all the missed shots). Pederson decided to try a two-point conversion. And it worked! Smallwood has integrated it to make it a 20-14 match.

Pederson's decision goes against conventional wisdom, but here's why it made sense: even if the Eagles had missed their match, they could have attempted a two-point conversion later if they scored a touchdown.

Now down six, they could take the lead with a touchdown and extra points, or tie the game with two goals.

Shortly after, the Rams were rewarded for such a bold game. Los Angeles led 33-31 when he faced his opponent with 42 seconds. The delivery of the ball would trap the Seahawks in their own territory with about 90 seconds to play. If we were stuck in fourth place, it would mean reversing the situation in a situation where Seattle would only need to gain 10 yards to constitute a decisive winning goal.

But head coach Sean McVay was confident in his team's ability to take six inches. He managed to sneak out as a quarterback, then celebrate Jared Goff's victory in the scrum with a two-yard dive. From there, the Rams got on their knees and went to 5-0.
