Football season is in full swing, and the NFL’s Week 5 is just about in the books after a weekend of great action around the league. There were plenty of close games and thrilling finishes to watch on Sunday, as nine of this weekend’s 13 games were decided by seven points or less.
The Bengals, Broncos, Falcons, Packers and Patriots all came away with victories to remain undefeated (along with the Panthers, who had a Week 5 bye) and atop the league’s standings. The Lions were blown out by the Cardinals, leaving them as the league’s only remaining team without a win thus far into the season.
Maybe the most interesting story of this season so far has been the New York Giants, who beat the 49ers in a thrilling Sunday Night Football match-up that came down to the wire with a great last-minute touchdown. It was the third-straight victory for the G-Men, who now sit atop the NFC East at 3-2 despite starting the season in historically awful fashion.
So, without further ado, here are some the must-see highlights from this weekend around the league.
Gary Barnidge basically used every part of his body to make this absolutely insane TD catch.
Robert Woods took out two Titans with a single block on this Tyrod Taylor TD run.
Aaron Rodgers threw his first interception at Lambeau since 2012.
Nick Foles had a really rough day behind center.
Still not sure how this wasn’t called for a penalty, though…
Foles completed maybe the shortest touchdown “pass” in NFL history…
Jamaal Charles went down with a non-contact knee injury.
This is not good coverage, Bengals defense.
John Brown got flagged for being too good a dancer.
The Patriots are difficult to tackle.
Like, really difficult to tackle.
Like, really, really. difficult to tackle. Byron Jones thrown out the club.
Greg Hardy celebrated his first sack of the year with a “Shhhh” celebration. Nice.
Julian Edelman out here giving out free roller skates.
Tom Brady, who was supposed to be suspended through this week, moves to 4-0 with 1,387 passing yards, 11 TD, and 0 INT.
Somehow, this was ruled an incomplete pass instead of a touchdown.
This is the great Larry Donnell catch that gave the Giants a last-minute victory.
The victory made Odell Beckham, Jr. pretty emotional.
