NFL Week 5 Rundown: Key Highlights from the Weekend
This past weekend in the NFL was filled with thrilling moments and standout performances. Starting off in San Francisco, Nick Bosa led the charge for the 49ers in their defensive match against the Seattle Seahawks. Bosa managed to generate 14 pressures over just 49 pass rushes, which tied him for the most pressures by a pass rusher in a single game over the last four seasons. Interestingly, he previously achieved the same feat against the Rams in Week 4 of 2022.
Meanwhile, Deebo Samuel made history during this matchup as well. With his impressive 76-yard touchdown reception, Samuel became the very first wide receiver in NFL history to join the exclusive “20-20 club,” boasting 20 receiving touchdowns and 20 rushing touchdowns in his career.
In Kansas City, the Chiefs continued their winning ways as they improved to a perfect 5-0 season with a victory over the New Orleans Saints on Monday night. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes played a crucial role in maintaining the team’s success.
The excitement didn’t end there. On Thursday night, Kirk Cousins led the Atlanta Falcons to an incredible overtime win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This game showed the resilience and determination of the Falcons, getting the victory in dramatic fashion.
In other games, the Buffalo Bills, led by Josh Allen, continued their strong performance by rolling over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Washington Commanders also showed they mean business by taking care of the Cincinnati Bengals in the second Monday night game. This marked the Bills’ third win of the season and the Commanders’ second consecutive victory, proving their respective strengths.
