East Rutherford, New Jersey – I stopped at the Metlife stadium on Sunday to cover Cowboys-jetsAnd I do not think that this is an excessive reaction to say that Jets 2025 is probably not going to fight for a place in the play -off. “Work in the process” is probably the most charitable way to describe the group of the coach Aaron Glenn. But the cowboys will win, and this is not an excessive reaction to say that the defense of Dallas played the best game in the season. Or this quota Duck Prescott Playing an extremely high level.
But this is enough from this game. This is a week 5, and the outlines of an excessive reaction begin to become a little clearer. To date, we can confidently believe that the colts are good, the lions are still the main opponent, and the crows are in a bunch of troubles. We have enough evidence when we can talk to some Confidence that these are the teams and that they are not.
With this in mind, let's start a column with an excessive reaction at the 5th week – where we sort through weekly excessive reactions to try to find out which of them can withstand and which worlds – with the first game of the week – exciting NFC West Matchup from Thursday evening.

49ers is the best contender for NFC again
If you spent on Thursday afternoon and early evening, wondering if 49ers will be able to come up with 11 players to satisfy the rams that night, you were probably not lonely. San Francisco entered 5 weeks as beaten Like any team in the league, missed its starting defender, the three best receivers, Pro Bowl Tight end and Star Edge Rusher to name several.
Reserve quota Mac Jones He began to look like a black knight from Monti Pieton and Holy Grail, when the game was playing, but he continued to collect himself together and return to the game. Nineteans I won in overtime To improve up to 4-1, reset Rams to 3-2, and is now in the first place in his unit with victories over each of the three contenders of the division.

Verdict: not an excessive reaction
Nick Bos existence During the season Maybe it does not give nine Super Cup LVIII Before losing to Kansas -City. But besides this, they are largely guaranteed to become healthier, and their schedule, it seems, will not become more difficult. They have a hard road game in Tampa -Bay The next weekendBut after that, they play only two more games against the teams that held last year’s play -off, and the last of these games is November 9th.
The road of San Francisco to the play -off looks as smoothly as someone -liba, and if he returns some of these key players, he has a real chance to fight for the top -family NFC. Again, Nineers are in the first place in the fact that it can be the hardest division of the league, and they already have victories over Seahawks and Rams on the road. 49ers had a brutally difficult start of the season in terms of what happened To their. But so far they have been able to overcome this that raises them well to the end.
Nick Bonattto going to win the defender of the year
The largest victory of the early window on Sunday was the return of Bronkos from the 14th in the fourth quarter to transfer the current champion of the Super Cup eagle Their first loss of the seasonThe defense of Denver was a huge part of this, and Bonattto drove the way with 2.5 bags. Now he has six bags in his last three games and seven per season, since Denver’s defense ends in the form that was expected from it before the campaign.
Bonitto finished the ninth in the defensive player of the year, voting last season, when his teammate was defender. Pat Sortin III won the award. And right now, Bonitto is at a pace in order to easily surpass its total number of 2024 in 13.5 bags-not about the NFL record in the single-season season of 22.5 bags.
Verdict: not an excessive reaction
Denver’s protection looks like an elite unit, and the next couple of weeks are presented with potential games in statistics against aircraft and giants. Bronokos stumbled a little at the beginning and only 3-2. But they were a play -off team last season, and they had reasons to believe that they could stand on a roll and fight again this season, even on the hard AFC West.
If they push the leaders to the title of the division or even win it, voters will look for candidates for awards from the Bronos list. Bonitto goes to the beginning, which is awards, there are leaders.
AJ Brown will make Orlov deal with him on time trade
The oriented side of the Big Victory Bronos was a bitter loss for the eagles, who carried the leadership of 17-3 in the fourth quarter of the house and could not add to it or stay. The crime of Philadelphia was at best inconsistent this season, and Brown allowed his disappointments to be famous – Professionally and respectfullyOf course, but still.
Sunday saw a teammate Devonus Smith Catch eight passes on 114 yards, but Brown had only five catches for 43 yards for eight targets. Brown is paid as one of the best receivers in the league, but is not used as one, and he made it clear that he would like to be more involved – not in order to establish his statistics, but because he thinks that he can help make a crime better and consistent. He is not mistaken, but now Philadelphia is still not on the way on the other side of the ball.
Verdict: Excessive reaction
Eagles are not traded with brown, and from what I understand, he does not want them to exchange himThe field is a team that I won the Super Cup Eight months ago and knows how to withstand problems at the beginning of the season and go out in the first place. Now it can be a little rude, but at any time, around Brown there was discontent Brown, he took responsibility for his disappointments and made it clear that he was all about to help the team win.
The eagles did not win on Sunday, and last year's superstar, running back Sakuon BarkleyThere were only 30 rushing yards on six transfers (although it had three catches per 58 yards and landing). So, obviously, everything needs to be changed if this attack on the eagles will do what he needs. Perhaps not to be invincible, it will help to convince Orlov coaches that something should change before this season begins more like their collapse of 2023 than their triumph of 2024.
Baker Mayfield will be in the MVP mix
4-1 Buccaneers is an exciting team in the NFL. In each of their four victories, they scored victorious glasses at the last minute of the game, and in their only losing they rode in a two -minute training that was not enough.
Maifield was incredible on Sunday, having completed 29 out of 33 passes for 379 yards and a couple of landings in the reverse and reverse, capturing Victory over SeattleHe has 10 landing passages and one interception in five games. It is also worth noting that Maifield, in his third season in Tampa Bay, is already on his third coordinator of violations, because the two previous coaches became the main coaches in other places.
Verdict: not an excessive reaction
Josh Allen there will probably be something to say about it, as in players such as Matthew StaffordIN Justin HerbertIN Jonathan TaylorIN Daniel Jones (Seriously!) And Prescott, if the cowboys pass the play -off. Obviously, it is too early to predict MVP, but it would be ridiculous not to include Maifield in the discussion.
BUCS has a cruel list of injuries for the 4-1 team. They have two, starting offensive linear, with injuries, another (left gear Tristan Wirfs) who missed the first three games of the season, and the other (Mike Jordan), who was excellently filled before he suffered. The best receiver Mike Evans Missed the last two games with A trauma of the top of the tendonThe field is wide Chris Godwin Missed the first three weeks, returning from last year At the end of the season, an ankle injuryThe field is a wide receiver Jalen McMillanas promising as a beginner in 2024, outside At least at the end of the season. Starting to run back Bucky Irving Missed Sunday game with injuryField Protection down to three starters.
BUCS has no business 4-1. But their infrastructure and culture are as solid as any team and Maifield is a huge part of this. He moved from the apprentice to stabilizing the force in three years in the tamp, where the team insists on the fifth title in a row in a row and (hopes) this time this time.
Fantasy excessive reaction!
You must Pick up Rico Dowad: Not an excessive reaction. Carolina starts to run back Chuba Hubbard I miss the game From the injury, Douudl rushed into 206 yards and landing to 23 transfers in panthers' Victory over MiamiThe Hubbard will return, and the team gave him Large extension of the contract last year, but also Signed Dowad In a free agency this year, and in a contract with Hubbard there is no guaranteed money after 2025. If you have a habbard in your list, dowdle is a mandatory blow even when Hubbard returns. If you do not do this, still take the Downloads because you never know. Perhaps the Hubbard manager in your league will overpay for a dowel in trade.
You must Pick up Ryan Flurnaya: Excessive reaction. Flour had a big game for cowboys with Ceedee Lamb And Kavontae Turpin outside With injuriesRecruiting 114 yards on six catches in the victory of Dallas over aircraft. This is great for his confidence and the depths of cowboys. But this role will not continue as soon as these guys return. And even if they do not return next week, Flournoy is still the third in the queue behind George Pickens And Jalen TolbertNot to mention the close end Jake FergusonYou can leave Flournoy from the field failures of the standard size.
Derrick Henry Not RB1 if Lamar Jackson No: not an excessive reaction. If you have Henry, you still play it, and you cannot exchange it for its current value. But, obviously, Jackson’s threat as a runner facilitates the situation with Henry, and Without Jackson The teams can key to a veteran running back. But besides 1 week, Henry was not RB1 this season even With Jackson in the composition. Configure expectations. This season is in a hurry from ravens.
Kuinshon Jadkins It will be a fantastic choice in the first round in 2026: not an excessive reaction. Jakadins is a very hard runner that he showed Sunday in London Against the hard protection of the Vikings. He did not sign his contract with the newcomer before the start of the season from -s Legal legal issues It follows from the charge of domestic violence in July. And although they can still lead to the fact that he will be suspended at some point this season or in the next, Jadkins is a guy whom you want in his composition when he is in Cleveland. He will only get better.
Fantasy managers must earn on There was a delayMaximum trade value: excessive reaction. If you are selling, I want. This child is not an outbreak in a pan, and I do not think that his role will be very reduced as soon as Evans returns after the injury. EGBUKA is the choice of the first round, which clogs landing every week. The team loves him. Kvoturbek loves him. He can play any of the WR positions in the Tampa -Bay attack, and he is a building block for their future. Keep or try to get.
