A historic end to "The Battle of the Beltways," a Game of Thrones ending in Cleveland and the Inconvenient Truth about an underrated star highlight NFL Week 5.
Bucs 17
Panthers 14
I don’t know which is worse: Roberto Aguayo’s kicking, Carolina’s Super Bowl hangover, or Cam Newton’s cure for a concussion .

Redskins 16
Ravens 10
Baltimore and Washington share a parkway, an airport … and now the all-time series between their football teams. This isn’t a rivalry, but the Redskins and Ravens have now split their six regular season meetings.
Even though Justin Tucker has scored 41 of the Ravens’ 94 points this season, Baltimore fans should take heart: Super Bowls have followed every previous regular season loss to Washington (2000, 2012).

Eagles 23
Lions 24
Eagles hadn’t given up a passing TD all season — Sunday they did. Philly hadn’t turned the ball over all year — Sunday they did. So basically Nigel Bradham wasn’t the only dumba** on the team Sunday.

Patriots 33
Browns 13
A so-called rusty Tom Brady comes back from suspension to notch his 8th career 400-yard passing game and the Pats defense knocked out another Browns QB and shut down Isaiah Crowell a week after he was crowned the next big thing at running back. The Red Wedding has begun .

Bears 23
Colts 29
Quiet as it’s kept … Frank Gore just passed Jim Brown for 9th on the all-time rushing list. The inconvenient truth about Gore (pun intended) is that he just might be the most underrated running back not named Curtis Martin.

Titans 30
Dolphins 17
How bad is Miami? Their banged up offensive line surrendered six sacks of their “meh” QB Ryan Tannehill and the defense got torched by a “meh” Tennessee offense. Meh.

Texans 13
Vikings 31
Minnesota is already getting compared to last year’s Denver squad that won Super Bowl 50 . I see no reason to disagree. (More on that coming in the NFL Week 5 Wrap.)

Jets 13
Steelers 31
How bad is the Jets defense? Opposing QBs have completed almost 72 percent of their passes for nearly 320 yards, 12 TDs and only two picks — all while getting outscored 82-33 during this three-game losing skid. Gotham sure could use a hero right now.

Falcons 23
Broncos 16
Last week, Julio Jones had more receiving yards (300) than 21 teams that played in Week 4. In Week 5? Just 29 on only two catches against the best defense in the league. Atlanta’s defense picked up the slack though, sacking Paxton Lynch six times (they entered Sunday with just four in four games) to help the Falcons become just the third team in NFL history to beat the previous season’s Super Bowl participants in consecutive weeks. The Falcons might be finally coming into their own.

Bengals 14
Cowboys 28
Pacman Jones isn’t right about much, but he was right about that Dallas offensive line . Ezekiel Elliott and Dak Prescott aren’t just making history … they’re basically dueling each other for Offensive Rookie of the Year.

Bills 30
Rams 19
Somebody had to lose this battle of teams with surprisingly good records … so it made sense the result was a bit of a surprise. Buffalo is on their first three-game win streak since 2011 even though Aaron Donald played like a man still sick of Rex Ryan’s mouth .

Chargers 31
Raiders 34
Regardless of your rooting interests, there’s nothing more depressing than San Diego’s prolonged stretch of late-game struggles .
And Oakland may be off to their best start since their 2002 Super Bowl season, but if they want to make a similar postseason run, they’d better figure out how to shore up that defense.

If Odell Beckham wasn’t having fun before , wait ’til he realizes he’s on a last place team …
