NFL Round Five Action: Texans vs Ravens and More Matchups

Real-time Football Coverage

Welcome, NFL enthusiasts! Welcome to week five of the National Football League action, as I deliver all the action from the opening window. This is a convenient mid-morning affair on the Pacific coast at 10am (PST), running to an late afternoon 6:00 PM (BST) in England. We just saw, the Vikings mounted a comeback to beat the Browns by four points thanks to a short receiver touchdown grab with just 25 seconds remaining at the London venue. Minnesota move to 3-2, while the Browns drop to 1-4. Today's lineup is underway.

We have a impressive selection of six games to follow:

  • Baltimore Ravens v Houston Texans

  • Panthers v Miami Dolphins

  • Indianapolis Colts v Las Vegas Raiders

  • New Orleans Saints vs Giants

  • Jets against Dallas Cowboys

  • Eagles vs Broncos

Key Game: Philadelphia Face Broncos

A highlight contest is going down in Philly with the unbeaten reigning champions hosting from the Broncos. Theoretically, you might anticipate an straightforward victory, but a brief look pops up reports questioning whether the Eagles are the least impressive undefeated squad in history. It's unclear. What we do know, is they have benefited from some luck on special teams with three blocked kicks, one of which secured a victory against the Rams. A crucial factor will be how Denver defensive coordinator their coordinator dials up his defense to stop Philadelphia’s versatile QB Jalen Hurts from marauding down the field. If they can force the pass, then a significant victory might result for the Broncos, now with two wins and two losses, which would have many analysts, including me, who said the Broncos would finally depose the Chiefs in the AFC West looking a little happier.

Additional Matchups to Follow

In other games, a number of one-win wonders are eager to move nearer to a winning record with a win, or exactly there in the case of the Dallas Cowboys after their madcap 40-40 tie with the Packers has them at one win, two losses, one tie. A trip to the Meadowlands to face the winless Jets should do the trick as they aim to keep the offensive fireworks going between QB Dak Prescott and receiver George Pickens. Ultimately, top receiver Lamb's injury might actually help the Cowboys as Pickens’ expanded duties since will have sped up his progression, making the attack stronger when Lamb does return. In the here and now, the New York's defense needs to be on their toes and even more to prevent a disappointing fall to zero wins and five losses.

Ravens Face Houston in Surprising Clash

A pair of surprising 1-3 merchants go head-to-head in Baltimore as the banged-up Baltimore Ravens are led into action with the Houston Texans by reserve QB Cooper Rush. When these teams met last season, we saw Beyoncé’s stupendous performance surrounded by Houston enduring a horrendous one-sided defeat at their stadium on Christmas Day, then a 34-10 whipping in the playoffs a month later at their venue. However, without the hurt two-time MVP Jackson on the field, who threw four touchdowns, ran in additional TDs, and racked up massive yardage in the previous games, the Texans' defense will be prepared.
