Top five storylines from week five of the 2022 NFL season

The fifth week of the 2022 NFL season is now in the books. Here are the top five storylines from the week that was.

5) Lions awful offensively in loss to the Patriots.

After being outstanding offensively in a 48-45 loss to the Seattle Seahawks a week ago, the Lions were awful offensively in a 29-0 loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday. Just how bad was it for Detroit? They set a NFL record for most failed fourth down attempts in one game without a conversion (six).


4) Eagles remain undefeated.

Philadelphia remains the only team in the NFL undefeated after five games. On Sunday, they improved to 5-0 thanks to a 20-17 win over the Arizona Cardinals. The game came down to the wire as Arizona had a chance to tie the contest, but Cardinals backup kicker Matt Amendola completely missed a 43-yard field goal attempt that was not even remotely close of landing in between the uprights.

3) Giants have already equalled their win total of last year.

One of the great stories from 2022 is the fact that the New York Giants have already won four games, matching there win total of 2021 where they went 4-13. On Sunday, the Giants beat the Green Bay Packers 27-22 in England, in the only game on the weekend where both teams were over .500. The Giants are now 4-1 in a NFC East Division which has an overall record of 14-6.

2) Controversial roughing the passer penalty in Falcons/Buccaneers game.

Late in the game between Tampa Bay and Atlanta on Sunday, Falcons defensive tackle Grady Jarrett was called for roughing the passer on Buccaneers’ quarterback Tom Brady. On further review, the hit looked extremely clean and looked like any normal sack. The Buccaneers were leading 21-15 when the so-called infraction occurred and went on to win the game by that same score. At the time, the Buccaneers were given a first down. If a penalty had not been called, Tampa Bay would have been forced to kick the football back to Atlanta with just less than three minutes left. There was a belief by many that Brady got preferential treatment here because of his status in the game, and that he is widely considered the best player of all-time.

1) Travis Kelce scores four touchdowns.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce had four touchdowns in a 30-29 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday night. What made Kelce’s accomplishment fascinating is that he scored the four touchdowns on only 14 yards. He became the first player in NFL history to have four touchdown catches in a game with none of the catches coming for more than 10 yards. With the win, the Chiefs improved to 4-1.
