There is almost a week of football on the schedule, with only the Chiefs and Saints still to play on Monday evening.

That means it’s time to take a look at some of the Week 5 winners and losers highlighted by Bills coach Sean McDermott and his late-game decision-making.

The Bills coach acknowledged his responsibility for Josh Allen going into the air three times late in the game with the score tied, instead of running out the clock to force OT.

The call allowed the Texans to get the ball back and win with a 59-yard Ka’imi Fairbairn field goal.

It’s uncertain to say what would have happened had they reached overtime, but the decision-making this late in the game is hard to ignore, especially when it leads directly to the Bills’ demise.

Week 5 winners

Jaguars

A win is a win and although the Jaguars came a little close to beating the Colts on Sunday, they did just that and ultimately picked up their first win of the season.

The Jags QB took the Jacksonville offense down the field on an eight-play drive with the game tied at 34, setting up the game-winning 49-yard field goal.

Isaiah Simmons

The Giants veteran made one of the biggest plays in Sunday’s win over the Seahawks. The block he had on Jason Myers’ 47-yard field goal attempt sealed the Giants’ victory as Bryce Ford-Wheaton was able to scoop up the loose ball and run it back 60 yards for a touchdown late in the game.

Simmons seemed to enjoy the moment after the game as he told reporters, “Just being able to go out there and call it what it is, win the game for the team, shoot, it felt good.”

Those who tuned into Ravens-Bengals

The AFC North rivals gave football fans a very exciting match that had a little bit of everything as Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson put in a pair of electric performances and the match ended with a dramatic finish in favor of the Ravens.

Losers from week 5

Aaron Rodgers

Jets fans have become accustomed to misery, especially in recent seasons, but with Aaron Rodgers healthy, there was optimism that things would be different this year. But Sunday’s loss across the pond pushed the Jets to 2-3 and Rodgers didn’t look great in the loss. Rodgers seemed out of sync with his receivers and three interceptions on the day didn’t help anyone.

Panthers

The atmosphere in Carolina probably isn’t great, regardless of who is at quarterback. Andy Dalton earned a win in his first start replacing sophomore Bryce Young, but Carolina has now dropped two in a row after being throttled 36-10 by the Bears. The loss is a harsh reminder of the ill-fated trade between the Bears and Panthers before the 2023 NFL Draft that saw Carolina get the No. 1 pick, which turned into Young. Chicago got the No. 1 pick this year, including Caleb Williams and star receiver DJ Moore. The duo combined for two touchdowns on Sunday.
