NFL winners, losers for Week 5 include two major gaffes in NFC East
NFL Week 5 featured plenty of surprising outcomes, but none loomed larger than baffling end-of-game meltdowns by the Commanders and Eagles.
Week 5 in the NFL showcased a variety of surprises and notable performances. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers upset the Dallas Cowboys, marking their first win of the season. The Philadelphia Eagles made a late comeback against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London, only to lose in the final seconds. The San Francisco 49ers secured a narrow 32-29 victory over the Seattle Seahawks, despite both teams committing seven turnovers.
Brock Purdy's performance in late scoring drives and Mike Evans' critical catches should give the 49ers more confidence in their divisional standings. The New England Patriots dominated the Las Vegas Raiders with a 45-17 victory, with Drake Maye throwing for 374 yards and four touchdowns. The Houston Texans' 26-3 win over the Tennessee Titans provided a glimpse of their previously underperforming defense, holding Tennessee to just 187 total yards.
Kyler Murray showed signs of settling into Kevin O'Connor's offense, completing 11 of his first 11 passes and finding Justin Jefferson for 79 yards and a touchdown.
