Turnovers Define Week 5: Patriots Hand Bills First Loss as Jets Drop to 0-5 and Eagles Blow Late Lead

Turnover-driven miscues are forcing rapid adjustments across the league.

Overview

  • New England beat Buffalo 23-20 in Orchard Park, with Drake Maye going 22 of 30 for 273 yards and leading a final drive capped by Andy Borregales’ 52-yard winner as Stefon Diggs posted 10 catches for 146 yards.
  • Josh Allen called the Bills’ performance “sloppy” after three turnovers and 11 penalties, and coach Sean McDermott framed the setback as a needed lesson following Buffalo’s first regular-season home loss since 2023.
  • The Jets became the first team since turnover tracking began in 1933 to start 0-5 with zero takeaways; Aaron Glenn pressed players to “earn your keep,” and Breece Hall accepted blame for a red-zone fumble in the 37-22 loss to Dallas.
  • A first-quarter ‘SkyCam’ sequence in Jets-Cowboys was ruled incorrectly, per the NFL rulebook provision that calls for a dead ball and a replayed down when a loose ball strikes broadcast equipment.
  • Philadelphia squandered a 14-point second-half lead in a 21-17 home loss to Denver, with six sacks and stagnation on offense, while the turnover-prone Giants (eight giveaways) host the Eagles on Thursday night.
