Bills & Titans Go For 5-0, Giants 4-0; Eagles-Redskins Clash, In NFC East; Ex-Division Foes Square Off
Three teams seek to remain spotless?two keep a division steaming?and one finally returns home.
It all adds up to one thing: a lot is happening in the NFL this week. A few examples:
Two teams ? the Buffalo Bills (4-0 for the first time in 16 years) and Tennessee Titans (4-0 for the first time in their history) will go for 5-0 records. But it?s only Week 5, they both say. ?We still have a chance to go 4-12,? says Titans linebacker KEITH BULLUCK.
Another team ? that other club in New York, the Super Bowl champion Giants who were quiet in their bye week while BRETT FAVRE was throwing six touchdown passes -- will look to up their record to 4-0 for the first time since 1990.
One game features a team (Tampa Bay) that has won its last three games after losing its first vs. a club (Denver) that won its first three and lost its last. But ?there?s a lot of football left,? says Broncos quarterback JAY CUTLER. ?We can?t go in a panic here.?
Another game ? the Indianapolis Colts at the Houston Texans ? will be the first home game of the season for the Texans and signal some return of normalcy to Houstonians after the devastation of Hurricane Ike.
All that ? and a whole lot more ? is in store for Week 5. As NFL teams either conclude the first quarter of their season, or start the second, who knows what?s in store? ?That?s the NFL,? says Pittsburgh Steelers head coach MIKE TOMLIN, fresh off a thrilling Monday night win over Baltimore. ?That?s what makes this thing so awesome. You can?t blink.?
So, as the NFL scoring average per game (45.2) through four weeks ties 1989 for second highest since 1980 after the 45.3 of 2002, here are some, but far from the only, ?can?t blink? Week 5 games:
