Upsets Reorder NFL Week 5: Eagles and Bills Beaten as Broncos Stage Late Stunner

Defense proved the difference as early narratives shifted.

Overview

  • Denver erased a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat Philadelphia 21-17, with six sacks and seven forced punts backing Bo Nix’s late touchdown drives to JK Dobbins and Evan Engram before Wil Lutz’s 36-yard field goal sealed it.
  • Buffalo’s unbeaten start ended in a 23-20 home loss to New England as rookie Drake Maye led a final-minute drive for Andy Borregales’ 52-yard winner, dropping the Bills to 4-1.
  • Injury-depleted Baltimore fell to 1-4 after a 44-10 home rout by Houston, with C.J. Stroud throwing four touchdowns against a Ravens lineup missing Lamar Jackson and several defensive starters.
  • Detroit improved to 4-1 by topping Cincinnati 37-24, sparked by Jared Goff’s three touchdown passes to extend the Lions’ four-game win streak.
  • Indianapolis routed Las Vegas 40-6 as Jonathan Taylor ran for three short scores, lifting the Colts to 4-1 behind a defense that turned multiple Raiders miscues into touchdowns.
