Around The NFL breaks down what you need to know from all of Sunday's action in Week 5 of the 2025 NFL season. Catch up on each game's biggest takeaways using the links below: Next Gen Stats Insight for Vikings-Browns (via NFL Pro): The Vikings limited Myles Garrett to two pressures on 35 pass rushes (5.7%), his second-lowest pressure rate in a game since 2021. The Vikings slowed him down by chipping Garrett on 42.9% of his rushes (15 of 35), the third-highest chip rate Garrett has faced since at least 2018. Justin Skule , who entered the game having allowed a 14.3% pressure rate, held Garrett without a pressure on 14 pass rush matchups. NFL Research: Sunday's win marked Carson Wentz’s 14th career game-winning drive (his first since Week 18, 2023 as a Ram against the 49ers).

Next Gen Stats Insight for Texans-Ravens (via NFL Pro): Nick Chubb rushed for 61 yards on 11 carries with one touchdown, generating +33 rushing yards over expected. This marks his highest RYOE output this season and his most since Week 17, 2022. NFL Research: The Ravens have now allowed 35 or more points in four games (most such games in a season in team history). Baltimore became the first team in the Super Bowl era to allow 37-plus points in four of their first five games. The 32 things we learned from Week 5 of the 2025 NFL season: 0.

The number of wins for New York Jets rookie coach Aaron Glenn, whose team was embarrassed at home 37-22 by the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. With Kellen Moore’s New Orleans Saints getting off the mat against the New York Giants, Glenn is the only first-year coach among this year’s seven to remain winless – and his team is now... 1. As in who’s the No. 1 contender to win Super Bowl 60 after the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles lost their first game of the season Sunday a few hours before the previously unbeaten Buffalo Bills also went down? It seems like an unusually large field at the moment given the number of questions that abound around the league, so let’s explore.

2. As in the number of losses Philly has now suffered over the last 365 days. The Eagles obviously remain a bona fide championship threat, yet they also have issues to redress – particularly on offense. WR A.J. Brown had another quiet game (5 catches for 43 yards) Sunday, and even RB Saquon Barkley undermined Philadelphia. On a day when he rushed for 30 yards (on a mere six carries), Barkley also committed an illegal shift infraction that nullified a fourth-down conversion in the fourth quarter and forced the team...

2a. The Bills also remain right there, even if their icy "Cold Front" uniforms won't get them closer to any championship ice at season's end. The sky isn't falling in Western New York, though the New England Patriots' win there Sunday night was a clear announcement that the AFC East probably won't be a walkover. For a change. It was a Sunday of comebacks across the NFL. Week 5 saw an 18-point lead crumble in Arizona, a 17-point lead vanish in Carolina and a 14-point lead disappear in Philadelphia.

After the dust finally settled, there wasn’t an unbeaten left. Both the Buffalo Bills and Philadelphia Eagles — the league’s only undefeated teams heading into Week 5 — were upset at home Sunday. The Bills dropped an AFC East battle with the New England Patriots, who rode an excellent night from Drake Maye (273 passing yards), a revenge game from Stefon Diggs (146 receiving yards on 10... New England’s 23-20 win was quite a statement from Mike Vrabel’s team. This isn’t the Patriots of the past few years. This team can play — and beat — the best in the league.

Meanwhile, the Eagles were upset at home, 21-17, by the Denver Broncos. A 14-point second-half lead ended with the Eagles’ first loss of 2025 and just their second in their last 22 contests. Broncos quarterback Bo Nix led two fourth-quarter scoring drives, completing nine of 10 throws for 127 yards and a touchdown in the final quarter, in an impressive road win for Denver. Around The NFL breaks down what you need to know from Sunday's action in Week 11 of the 2025 NFL season. They still have six games to go and the Patriots already have their most wins since the 2021 season. New England took down the New York Jets to kick off Week 11, running a winning streak that dates back to Sept.

28 to eight games. The Philadelphia Eagles survived a surprising defensive battle against the Green Bay Packers to keep things rolling out of the bye with a third straight victory. Around The NFL breaks down what you need to know from Sunday's action in Week 10 of the 2025 NFL season. The 32 things we learned from Week 5 of the 2024 NFL season: 0: Number of winless teams following the Jacksonville Jaguars’ – dare we say it – thrilling 37-34 defeat of the undermanned Indianapolis Colts. 1: Number of wins Jags QB Trevor Lawrence has had over his past 10 starts, Sunday’s victory snapping his personal nine-game skid – which followed the team’s 8-3 start to the 2023 campaign.

Nice way for Lawrence to celebrate his 25th birthday. 2: Number of plays covering at least 45 yards Sunday by Colts WR Alec Pierce, who finished with 134 receiving yards and a TD – on three hookups with backup QB Joe Flacco. 3: Sacks by Jacksonville DE Travon Walker, establishing a career high, in Sunday’s win. The No. 1 pick of the 2022 draft continues to show steady improvement and is projecting toward what would be personal-best 17 sacks in 2024. Around The NFL breaks down what you need to know from all of Sunday's action in Week 10 of the 2025 NFL season.

Catch up on each game's biggest takeaways using the links below: Next Gen Stats Insight for Falcons-Colts (via NFL Pro): Jonathan Taylor rushed for 228 yards after contact in Berlin, the only game since at least 2017 with more than 200. Taylor forced 11 missed tackles and gained 165 extra yards, the most by any player this season. NFL Research: Jonathan Taylor joined Jim Brown, Adrian Peterson and Derrick Henry as the only RBs with multiple career games with 200-plus rushing yards and 3-plus rushing TDs. Taylor's 286 scrimmage yards on Sunday are the most in a game by a player in Colts history, overtaking Marshall Faulk’s 267-yard game in Week 13, 1998. Next Gen Stats Insight for Saints-Panthers (via NFL Pro): Much of Tyler Shough’s production was directed outside the numbers, as he finished 11 of 16 for 202 yards and both of his touchdowns on...

His yardage total outside the numbers was the second-most by a Saints quarterback in the last eight seasons and most by any rookie in 2025. NFL Research: The Panthers had their sixth game of the season with seven or fewer points in the first half. Carolina is 2-15 when Bryce Young starts at QB and has less than 70 yards in the first half in his career. • The Miami Dolphins passing attack is back: Jaylen Waddle achieved his second 100-yard game of the season, De’Von Achane caught two touchdowns, and Jonnu Smith caught nine passes. • The Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back hat trick: All three Buccaneers running backs found the end zone in their first victory in over a month. • Unlock your edge with a PFF+ subscription: Get full access to all of our in-season fantasy tools, including weekly rankings, the Start-Sit Optimizer and more.
