đŸ”— Share this article Week 5 NFL Surprise: Eagles Fall to Broncos while Bills Succumb to Patriots The final pair of unbeaten teams in the NFL watched their flawless starts shattered during week five as both the Philadelphia Eagles along with Buffalo Bills endured shocking home defeats. Denver's football team transformed from underdogs to headline-makers following an impressive rallying win against the reigning Super Bowl title holders Philadelphia, prior to boarding a plane for Sunday's London matchup. New England's squad then visited Buffalo and ended the Bills' perfect record with a statement win of their own in their initial primetime game in a full year. Baltimore's team experienced a third straight defeat - their defensive struggles could be fatal for their play-off aspirations - while Dallas, Indianapolis, and Detroit celebrated blowout wins on yet another eventful Sunday. Denver Downs Champions Not only was it beating the Super Bowl champions, but the manner of their comeback from 14 points down that made the Broncos' 21-17 victory in Philadelphia such a signature success. The Eagles had won 10 contests in a row, 12 in a row at home and 20 out of 21 overall before Denver's signal-caller Bo Nix engineered two scoring drives in five fourth-quarter minutes and a last-minute three-pointer. The Eagles are currently 4-1 but there is significant concern about the offence, which ranks as the poorest performing in the NFL. Receiver DaVonta Smith stated they are not "in sync" with quarterback Jalen Hurts. Denver's defence, which tackled Hurts on six occasions, had a lot to do with it, and, together with an established starting QB in Nix and elite coach in Sean Payton, they possess all the components to launch a serious challenge. The Broncos face New York's Jets at Tottenham Stadium on Sunday. Primetime Patriots Upset Bills Should the Broncos' victory was somewhat anticipated, few predicted New England marching into Buffalo and defeating Josh Allen's Bills, but they accomplished it with tremendous resilience. Their initial national television appearance for the rookie quarterback delivered a star-making showing as he led a decisive scoring drive in the final moments to secure victory 23-20. The young QB was tough and executed accurate passes at crucial moments, several to ex-Buffalo wideout Stefon Diggs, who delivered a big game for Mike Vrabel's side. The head coach was anticipated to turn things around in New England, but such a significant victory came sooner than many predicted. The Patriots defence bottled up the Buffalo Bills attack during their surprising road victory. Baltimore Postseason Dreams Dashed? The season is turning into a disaster for Baltimore, who were without multiple defensive stars as they were hammered 44-10 by Houston's team. It equaled their largest home defeat, and falling to 1-4 for this year means one of the pre-season Super Bowl favourites have only a slim opportunity of reaching the postseason. The Ravens are now 4-11 when missing superstar quarterback Lamar Jackson, who was hurt, but it is a historically bad defense that is the real problem - for a team that have been synonymous with defensive toughness historically. The Texans coasted to the win as the Ravens became the first team in modern NFL history to concede at least 37 points in four out of five games. Their season is effectively in tatters. Detroit, Tampa and Indianapolis Go 4-1 Detroit's running back duo Gibbs and Montgomery scored six points in the same game for the fourteenth occasion - a shared NFL record - as the Lions defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 37-24. The win made it four victories in a row for the league's top scorers the Lions, but not one against teams with positive records. A more surprising 4-1 team are Indianapolis. With Jonathan Taylor scoring a hat-trick in their 40-6 rout of the Las Vegas Raiders and signal-caller Daniel Jones looking like a transformed player, they will be a tough match for any side. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers entered the four-win group with a mesmeric 38-35 victory in Seattle in which the sides exchanged nine scores in 10 impressive drives before the Seahawks cracked first with a final-minute turnover. The kicker booted the game-winner with the last kick of the contest for the second time this season. Each of Tampa Bay's wins have been clinched in the last minute. New Orleans and Tennessee Get Help for Initial Victories The way New Orleans and Tennessee began the season, they needed help to get their initial victories, and they got plenty due to several comical mistakes from the New York Giants and Arizona. After a good start from New York rookie Jaxson Dart, the Giants made five turnovers - one was decisively taken back for six points - while additionally permitting Rashid Shaheed to find the end zone on a long reception as the Saints prevailed 26-14. The Cardinals were even worse as they blew a substantial advantage primarily due to two huge mistakes. First, Emari Demercado unexplainably fumbled the football just before reaching the end zone for a long score. Worse followed when the Cardinals picked off Cam Ward near their end zone, then lost the ball across the goal line for Tyler Lockett to score as the Titans snapped a 10-game slide with a narrow victory. The receiver registered among the most bizarre touchdowns we'll see this season. This left New York's Jets as the only winless team left in the league after their bruising 37-22 loss by Dallas. The quarterback became the first player in NFL history to eclipse 4K through the air and 1,000 yards rushing in his initial twenty career games as he returned from injury to guide Washington to an impressive 27-10 win at the Los Angeles Chargers. Rico Dowdle was the standout performer for Carolina with 206 rushing yards in their thrilling 27-24 victory over Miami.
