NFL Week 5 Overreactions: Eagles & Jaxson Dart given first loss, Bucs are high in the NFC
USAT's Lorenzo Reyes breaks down the best games from NFL Week 5.
Video Transcript
The Eagles' first loss, the Saints' first win, and Daniel Jones is still being a stud quarterback.
We certainly have enough to overreact to in week 5 of the NFL.
And if anyone is having a good time this Sunday, it's got to be Daniel Jones.
Finding a rhythm with rookies like Tyler Warren, and bets like Jonathan Taylor, with only one loss on the year, this has become a really fun team to watch, not to mention Jones getting to sit out the rest of the game once he surpassed 40 points, and we got to see a fresh Anthony Richardson.
Now, who out there of you expected the Colts to be the best team in the AFC South at this point of the season?
And speaking of unexpected, the Carolina Panthers just looked incredible against the Miami Dolphins, and we will certainly hand them their flowers for that win.
But I feel like we should be a bit more worried about the Dolphins here, struggling with and without Tyreek Hill, it seems, and Mike McDaniel's seat just got a whole lot hotter.
Big yikes.
And while we're on the Yikes topic, Jackson Dart and Company may have lost a bit of their aura this weekend and experience with Giants fans have been seeing for.
Years losing a very winnable game to an 0-4 team, but I don't think we have to panic just yet in New York.
Dart has started in only two NFL games.
Give the guy a second to find his footing.
Since we're in the NFC East, it's worth mentioning that not only have the Eagles been handed their first loss of the season, it's their first loss in 287 days, and it's to none other than Bo Knicks and the Broncos.
But let's not forget this Thursday night game against the Giants this week.
With a short week ahead, can Philly collect themselves in time before heading into MetLife?
In the battle of 2018 draft class quarterbacks, Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield certainly gave us a showtime game, keeping it interesting until the very end.
But of course, Baker and the Creamsicle Bucks took the win home.
Let me tell you though, this 4 and 1 Tampa team is far and away the best in the NFC South, and honestly, they may be a top team in the NFC overall.
