Welcome to the groups of week 5!
There weren’t a lot of offensive fireworks around the NFL through the first four weeks of the season, but that changed in Week 5 when the quarterbacks took over. Through the first four weeks, there was only one instance of a QB throwing for at least 330 yards with three touchdowns (Jordan Love), but that changed in Week 5 when FOUR quarterbacks reached those marks so far, including two in the same game.
Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow put on a show during Baltimore’s wild 41-38 overtime victory in Cincinnati. Jackson threw for 348 yards and four touchdowns, while Burrow threw for 392 yards and five touchdowns (Kirk Cousins and Joe Flacco are the other two quarterbacks to throw for at least 330 yards and three touchdowns in Week 5).
Actually, it’s been a wild week so far. Let’s take a look at the numbers for all 14 games played.
