Welcome to the Week 5 grades!
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 with quarterbacks taking over. Over the first four weeks, there was only one instance where a QB threw for at least 330 yards with three touchdowns (Jordan Love), but that changed in Week 5 with FOUR quarterbacks hitting 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 win 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 who threw for at least 330 yards and three touchdowns in Week 5).
Basically, it’s been a wild week so far. There have been eight games played through 1 p.m. on Sunday and we’re grading them all, so let’s get to the grades, starting with Baltimore’s big win.
