Recaps, Highlights & Top Performers From Week 5

Week 5 in the NFL reiterated a few things we already knew. The NFC East is next-level good and the AFC is cannibalizing itself. Here are a few notes from Sunday as well as the top performers and scores in Week 5.

The NFC Beasts: The Eagles (5-0), Cowboys (4-1) and Giants (4-1) were all winners again on Sunday. The Giants used a late comeback to beat the Packers in London before the Eagles and Cowboys knocked off NFC West opponents. After years of mediocrity, the NFC East is hands-down the best division through five weeks.

The AFC War of Attrition: Week 5 featured a lot of intra-divisional matchups, and while the NFC’s top teams separated themselves, the AFC just got muddy. The Texans got their first win of the season. The Jets flew past the Dolphins. Two AFC teams are on their third-string QBs. And every game in the AFC North is a toss-up.
