Week 5 brings a full NFL slate, headlined by a Sunday night trip to Atlanta and a Monday night showdown in Los Angeles.
The action already got rolling with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ 24-16 win over the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday Night Football, and Sunday opened with the Philadelphia Eagles meeting the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. From there, the league rolls through an overloaded afternoon window before the Baltimore Ravens and Atlanta Falcons take the national spotlight at 8:20 p.m. ET.
The late-game stage belongs to the Ravens-Falcons matchup, and the numbers tell part of the story: Baltimore enters as a 3-point underdog, with quarterback Lamar Jackson out because of an ankle injury. On Monday night, the Buffalo Bills travel west to face the Los Angeles Rams, who are listed as 3-point favorites as they try to get over .500 for the first time this season.
There are plenty of other games worth watching along the way. The Chicago Bears are expected to keep leaning on backup quarterback Tyler Bagent in a rivalry matchup with the Green Bay Packers.
The Las Vegas Raiders and New England Patriots meet in a surprise early game between teams trying to position themselves as AFC playoff contenders. And the week’s most intriguing matchup could be in Seattle, where the reigning Super Bowl champion Seahawks face the unbeaten San Francisco 49ers.
Sunday’s 1 p.m. ET slate is packed, with eight games kicking off in that window. Among them are Houston Texans at Tennessee Titans, Cincinnati Bengals at Miami Dolphins, Minnesota Vikings at New Orleans Saints, Cleveland Browns at New York Jets, Indianapolis Colts at Pittsburgh Steelers, New York Giants at Washington Commanders, Denver Broncos at Los Angeles Chargers, Detroit Lions at Arizona Cardinals, plus Philadelphia Eagles at Jacksonville Jaguars and Chicago Bears at Green Bay Packers.

Eagles Fans Would Have Strong Feelings About This Jalen Hurts Trade Idea
With Aaron Rodgers planning to retire after the 2026 season, the Steelers are being viewed as a team that will eventually need a long-term answer at quarterback, and that has opened the door to some outside speculation about what Pittsburgh might do next. One hypothetical proposal has Philadelphia involved in a future deal centered on Jalen Hurts, a name that instantly gets attention in any Eagles conversation because of what he means to the team and the way the position shapes everything around it.
The idea is simply a thought exercise at this point, not a move with any traction behind it, but it still lands with the kind of force that makes Eagles fans bristle. Hurts is too central to Philadelphias present and future to be treated lightly in trade chatter, which is why even an offseason-style hypothetical can spark a real reaction long before there is anything concrete to debate.

Eagles Offense Faces Early Pressure In A Game Fans Can't Ignore
After a frustrating trip to London, the Eagles return home for a Week 6 matchup with the Carolina Panthers in a spot that already feels easy to measure by how their offense responds. Philadelphia is still a 1.5-point home favorite, but there is little cushion in the way the game is being framed: the Eagles have had trouble finding rhythm on offense, injuries are part of the conversation, and the pressure is building for a group that needs a cleaner performance in front of its own crowd.
Carolina does not arrive as a simple bounce-back opponent either. Bryce Young has the Panthers passing game moving at a level that has caught attention around the league, and the extra rest from last weeks bye only adds to the challenge for Philadelphia. For an Eagles team trying to steady itself after the London loss, this is the kind of home game that can either reset the narrative or deepen the concerns. [Read more 🡒]
Eagles Let An Upset Slip Away In Brutal Final Seconds
A wild afternoon in Jacksonville turned on the kind of late-game sequence that can sting a locker room for days. Philadelphia had done enough to survive plenty of self-inflicted trouble and still walk away with a chance to steal a road win, which made the closing moments all the more frustrating for a team trying to stay in the thick of the early-season picture.
The Eagles were on the edge of escaping with a hard-earned result when the final possession flipped the script in dramatic fashion. Jacksonville answered the pressure with a burst in the return game, setting up the kind of long field goal attempt that can erase all the noise from the previous three hours and leave Philadelphia with a loss it will be thinking about for a while.
