🔗 Share this article Week 5 NFL Shocker: Eagles Fall to Broncos while Patriots Stun Bills The final pair of undefeated teams in the NFL saw their perfect records broken during the fifth week as the Philadelphia Eagles and Buffalo Bills suffered shocking home defeats. The Denver Broncos evolved from underdogs to headline-makers following an spectacular comeback victory against the reigning Super Bowl title holders Philadelphia, before hopping on a plane for Sunday's London matchup. New England's squad then traveled to Buffalo and halted the Bills' perfect record with a statement win of their own in their initial primetime game in twelve months. The Baltimore Ravens experienced a third consecutive loss - their defensive struggles could be fatal for their play-off aspirations - while Dallas, Indianapolis, and Detroit enjoyed blowout wins on yet another action-packed Sunday. Denver Downs Champions It wasn't just defeating the reigning title holders, but the manner of their 14-point comeback that made the Broncos' win by 21-17 in Philadelphia such a defining achievement. The Eagles had secured 10 games in a row, 12 in a row at home and 20 out of 21 overall before Denver's signal-caller Bo Nix orchestrated two scoring drives in five fourth-quarter minutes and a last-minute field goal. Philadelphia are currently 4-1 but there exists significant concern about the offence, which sits among one of the worst in the league. Receiver DaVonta Smith says they are not "on the same page" with QB Jalen Hurts. Denver's defence, which tackled Hurts six times, had much to contribute with it, and, combined with a genuine franchise quarterback in Nix and top head coach in Sean Payton, they possess all the components to mount a legitimate playoff push. The Broncos meet New York's Jets at Tottenham Stadium on Sunday. Patriots on National TV Upset Bills Should the Broncos' victory was somewhat anticipated, few predicted New England traveling to Buffalo and beating Josh Allen's Bills, but they did so with tremendous resilience. Their initial national television appearance for Drake Maye delivered a breakout performance as he directed a game-winning scoring drive in the dying seconds to win 23-20. Maye was resilient and made the right throws at crucial moments, many to ex-Buffalo wideout Stefon Diggs, who had a big game for Mike Vrabel's side. The head coach was expected to turn things around in New England, but such a significant victory arrived sooner than many predicted. New England's defensive squad contained the Buffalo Bills attack during their upset away win. Baltimore Postseason Hopes Over? The season is turning into a disaster for the Ravens, who were without multiple defensive stars as they were hammered 44-10 by Houston's team. It matched their largest home defeat, and dropping to 1-4 for the season means one of the pre-season Super Bowl contenders have only a slim opportunity of making the play-offs. The Ravens are currently 4-11 when missing star QB Lamar Jackson, who was hurt, but it is a historically bad defensive unit that is the real problem - for a team that have been synonymous with defensive toughness over the years. The Texans coasted to the win as Baltimore became the first team in the Super Bowl era to allow at least 37 points in four of their first five contests. Their season is effectively in tatters. Detroit, Tampa and Indianapolis Reach 4-1 Detroit's running back duo Gibbs and Montgomery registered six points in one contest for the fourteenth occasion - a shared NFL record - as Detroit put away Cincinnati 37-24. Victory made it four victories consecutively for the league's top scorers Detroit, but not one against teams with positive records. A more surprising 4-1 side are Indianapolis. With Jonathan Taylor scoring a hat-trick in their 40-6 rout of the Las Vegas Raiders and quarterback Daniel Jones appearing as a transformed player, they will be a tough match for any team. Tampa Bay entered the four-win group with a mesmeric 38-35 victory in Seattle in which the sides traded nine touchdowns in 10 impressive drives before the Seahawks cracked first with a late turnover. Chase McLaughlin booted the winner with the final play of the contest for his second occasion this season. All four of the Bucs' victories have been secured in the final moments. Saints and Titans Get Help for Initial Victories Given how New Orleans and Tennessee Titans started this campaign, they needed help to get their first wins, and they received ample due to several comical mistakes from the New York Giants and Arizona Cardinals. Following a strong opening from New York rookie Jaxson Dart, New York made five giveaways - including one decisively taken back for six points - while additionally permitting Rashid Shaheed to find the end zone on an 87-yard reception as New Orleans won 26-14. The Cardinals were even worse as they squandered a substantial advantage primarily thanks to two huge blunders. Initially, Emari Demercado unexplainably fumbled the football just before crossing the line for a 72-yard score. Worse was to come when the Cardinals intercepted Cam Ward close to their own goal line, then lost the football across the goal line for Tyler Lockett to score as Tennessee snapped a 10-game losing streak with a narrow victory. The receiver scored among the most bizarre scores we'll see this season. That left New York's Jets as the sole victory-less team left in the league after their bruising 37-22 defeat by the Cowboys. Jayden Daniels became the first player in NFL history to eclipse 4,000 passing yards and 1K on the ground in his first 20 career games as he returned from injury to steer the Washington Commanders to an impressive 27-10 victory at Los Angeles. Rico Dowdle was the standout performer for the Carolina Panthers with over 200 yards on the ground in their exciting 27-24 victory over the Miami Dolphins.
