Kicking off week 5 are the Cleveland Browns; one of this season’s big surprises, as they look like legitimate contenders in the AFC North, well, for the moment at least; they host the Buffalo Bills. This promises to be a close game (01:25 Fri – Sky Sports). Sunday Night Football begins with the Baltimore Ravens, hoping they can jump start their anaemic-looking offence, taking on the big-spending Miami Dolphins (18:00 Sun – Sky Sports). Up second are the seemingly unstoppable Denver Broncos playing at the Dallas Cowboys (21:25 Sun – Sky Sports). Later the Houston Texans travel to the San Francisco 49ers (01:30 Mon – C4), where the winners are most likely to be whichever team’s QB steps up to the challenge. The final game of the weekend sees the New York Jets at the Atlanta Falcons (01:40 Tues – Eurosport) – the Falcons are desperate to make up for a slow 1-3 start, whereas some might say that the Jets are punching above their weight at 2-2.
NFL Week 5
Published by Will Davies on
If there are any gluttons for punishment not satisfied with the usual 3 back-to-back games on Sundays, then there is some good news for this weekend!
The Chargers @ Raiders game has been moved later... to 0435 (UK) on Monday morning - meaning there is going to be >12 hours of NFL from Sunday evening onwards.
Anyone else around for the early games?
I am!
Calvin Johnson is inactive, so in the last day my matchup has swung from heavily favouring me to now heavily favouring Kai.
I haven't looked s my team since week two
Hahaha - you'd better hope you've not got Byes this week!
Pats 3 and out in Cincinnati, Bengals in NE territory, Indy also 3 and out, Seattle close to red zone,. That's what I'm watching.
I'm late to the party, and am yet to decide.
Bengals punt, Seattle to kick an FG
I think I'm going for Saints-Bears & Seahawks-Colts
3-0 Seahawks
Ooops - your choices of Garcon and Morris are on Byes (you can still swap them out) and Bradshaw is inactive.
Brady sacked twice alrready
Damn - should've picked up the Bungals' D.
Dalton sacked now
Shaping up to be a battle of the defenses?
Seahawks TD...??
Missed it, sorry, sorting out my VPS. But yes.
Pats o-line looking shaky
I only just caught it myself
Seahawks safety
Dalton picked off at the NE 5. Brandon Spikes.
The board accidentally gave the points to the Colts
Hahaha
Ahh a blocked punt - was it a safety or a TD?
Still under review
Did yuo see in New England's game last weekend, the review booth was broken?
Ahh yes, thought it had finished.
I think it should be a TD
Yup - they were watching Breaking Bad weren't they?
but they've given a safety
Seahawks just need a TD + 2PC and they'll have the set
Unless you count a free kick field goal
And if you get the full set you automatically win, yes?
you'd be disappointed to lose!
Wow, only 11:00 left in second quarter in Cincinnati. Quick stuff
Pats have punted four times.
The AFC W+S are looking like the strongest divisions in the conference. SHOCK!!
Congrats on last place in the FantasyF1 btw
Really?! hahaha
Luck just threw a TD pass that looked like it was going to the moon. 73 yards.
TYHilton is on my bench :(
Seahawks D just got burned.
Hawks away from home are far less solid a proposition
Blount fumbled. Bengals' ball
Wilson rushed for 19 yards. He's a great player.
Whereas there's nothing much happening in Saints-Bears 6-0
Brandon Marshall is being double-covered all day
Colts TD... blocked punt
what?!
Bengals lead 3-0
blocked FG!
Seahawks punt was blocked, caught and taken to the hOuse
so a safety off a punt block and a TD off a blocked FG!
ohh yeah, one of thoise
the Pats game is pretty dull in comparison
advert on American TV for some tablets: "in some cases, Eloquis can be fatal" - might pass.
Brilliant goal-line routes drawn up by the Bears - crossing pattern bumps both CBs off their coverage = TD Jefferies.
Pats gave Bengals the ball back with 1 minute left. Pats suddenly have 4th & 6?
Haha - Bungals
3-3 game.
NO 20 - 7 CHI
Brees is on fire (is he ever not?)
Hello.
Saints drop 8 into coverage, to prevent a pre-HT hail mary - including Jimmy Graham
Hey Dan
My favourite play of the season is still the Chargers tossing it about to each, trying to find that gap.
Bengals lead 6-3. 5:43, 3rd quarter
Pats' longest drive today: 35 yards.
I missed a Seattle FG
Clemons forces a fumble, Seattel first down
Colts trail by 2 - TD + failed 2PC
Bengals lead by 10, we finally got a TD
No TDs for Brady in the game, so Brees' TD record looking safe
13-6. Pats FG
Seahawks FG, lead by 5.
Bears successful with a 2PTer.
Brady intercepted in a monsoon that appeared inside the two minute warning. Crazy end to a scrappy game.
Colts lead vs Seatytle!
This game is a great showpiece for Luck and Wilson
Saints win 26-18 (over the Bears)
AT&T stadium? I thought they still called it Cowboys Stadium even though it is not the same stadium
Colts win.
Dallas take a 7-0 lead
Now begins the Peyton-show.
Good start to it
or not
Flagged?
Yep. Holding.
40 yard pass was overturned
Ouch.
FUMBLE Decker
Denver eventually get the first down and no sooner got there than Decker dropped the ball
Romo almost screwed that up
Should've just faked it and continued.
Incredible play by Romo
Just showed both sides of Romo in a few minutes
Romo is the new Big Ben
Dallas about to go 2 TDs up...
This game wasn't supposed to be like this
Huge pass by Manning but a flag on the play
That is more like it
3 plays - 50 seconds - TD Denver
Noticed a Cowboy helmet rolling on the ground on the TD play
The Denver D are not going to get me many points tonight
Even the flag signal on the data at the top of the TV screen is pink!!
Sorry, was away for a while. Have Redzone on now.
How long does it take to sack a QB? Romo must have had 10 seconds and coulldn't find anyone to pass to
I wonder if Peyton will need more than 50 seconds to get a TD this time
That must have taken a couple of minutes. Broncos 14 Cowboys 17
Cowboys lose the ball in the first play of the drive. Turnover
I've switched to the absolute radio coverage.
Is the turnover confirmed? Only saw a replay - Redzone were away at Arizona at the time.
I haven't come across that before
Oh yes. Broncos have made 3 plays since them
cool. I'm on Gamepass on iPad, so I'm a bit behind. Carolina now lead 6-3.
Cowboys sacked Peyton but overturned for a ridiculous facemask penalty
Broncos on 22 where I am
More like the 8
6:45 to go here
5:49
TD Broncos. Can't believe how quickly it has gone from a 4 point Dallas lead to a 4 point Broncos lead
well, can't argue with it really. Can't stand the guy, but it was a blatant foul
It couldn't have been more blatant. He must have known he was never going to get away with that
They have the 2125 game, as the beeb pulled out if nfl.
Pass interference against Dallas #50. Could not be any more blatant. Never looked at the ball and was in the receiver's face for 15 yards
Offside Dallas. Another penalty
Great play by Peyton to run a bootleg for a TD. First running TD in 5 years
Denver gave Dallas a 14 point start and are 28:17 up and there are still 46 seconds left in the first half
One reason why Peyton is so good. He just ran in a touchdown and there is no time till half time but he went straight back to the sidline and started looking at photos
Dallas end the half with a 48 yard field goal.
Half time score Denver 28 Dallas 20. Ridiculous considering Dallas led 14 nothing. Denver had 5 possessions in that half and scored 4 touchdowns
I am watching, but I'm also trying to set up my VPS which is proving tricky at the moment!
Every time they say Moreno I think Marino.
Another Broncos posession = another Broncos TD. 6 possessions 5 TDs
Fabulous long pass and catch. Defender switched his brain off and Cowboys get a TD. Cowboys coaching staff will be really happy fpr 2 seconds until they realise that means Manning is back on the field again
Surprise onside kick required. Manning will get a TD wherever he gets the ball
Unusual onside kick. It went straight therough the end zone
Commentator just suggested the Cowboys should have thought about the onside kick
haha, I should work for the networks.
Shocking. The Broncos are forced into going for a field goal
Made the 48 yard field goal. 38-27
Dallas TD. Going for the 2 point conversion
Looks like a very odd decision
Now it looks like a very bad decision.
Denver 38 Dallas 33
Peyton threw an interception.
Dallas take the lead. Weird game
Coqboys make 2 point conversion this time to take a 3 point lead. This game is turning into an F1 qualifying session.
Last team to have possession will win
Broncos score a field goal to tie the game. 9 minutes 48 left in the game
Cowboys go 79 yards on 3rd and 6 to the Denver 3
TD Cowboys.
Romo has now thrown for 506 yards today to Peyton's miserable 316
Broncos score yet another TD. 48-48 with 2:39 on the clock
Romo sacked for a loss of 6
Interception on 2nd and 16. Broncos have 1:57 to score from the Dallas 10 yard line
Broncos on the Dallas 25 not the 10
One play and they are now on the Dallas 10
Broncos need a foot for the first down and a yard for the TD. They make the first down. 1 minute 35 to go and DAllas are out of TDs.
I guess the Broncos take a few knees then kick the FG with a few seconds left
Manning tried to fake the knee and looked like he was going for the bootleg. Lost 4 yards
4th and goal with 2 seconds to go. Broncos go for the field goal
Broncos win 51-48
It has to be hard to take to lose after scoring 48 points.
920 yards of passing between the two QBs. 1075 yards of total offence
