Real-time NFL Action

Greetings, NFL supporters! Join us for the fifth week of the NFL action, as I bring you all the action from the opening window. This is a perfect late morning start on the west coast at 10:00 AM (PST), running to an late afternoon 6:00 PM (BST) in England. Recently, the Minnesota Vikings mounted a comeback to defeat the Cleveland Browns by four points due to a 12-yard Jordan Addison touchdown grab with just 25 seconds left at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Minnesota move to 3-2, while the Browns drop to 1-4. Today's slate is in full swing.

Today features a impressive selection of six contests to follow:

• Baltimore Ravens vs Texans

• Panthers vs Miami Dolphins

• Colts against Las Vegas Raiders

• New Orleans Saints v New York Giants

• New York Jets v Cowboys

• Philadelphia Eagles against Denver Broncos

Featured Matchup: Philadelphia Host Denver

The BIG game is going down in Philadelphia with the undefeated title holders welcoming from the Broncos. On paper, you might expect an straightforward victory, but a quick search pops up reports questioning whether the Eagles are the least impressive undefeated squad ever. Who knows. However, is they have enjoyed some fortune on special teams with three blocked kicks, one of which secured a victory against the Rams. The key battle will be how Denver defense coach their coordinator prepares his linebackers to stop Philadelphia’s dual threat quarterback Hurts from marauding down the field. Should they make them throw, then a significant victory might result for the Broncos, now 2-2, which would have prognosticators, myself included, who said the Denver would overthrow the Chiefs in the division looking more optimistic.

Other Games to Watch

Elsewhere, a number of teams with single victories are keen to edge closer to .500 with a W, or right on the button in the case of the Cowboys after their madcap high-scoring draw with the Packers has them at one win, two losses, one tie. Their visit to the New Jersey to face the winless New York Jets should secure a win as they look to keep the offensive fireworks flowing between QB Dak Prescott and wide receiver Pickens. In the long run, star pass catcher CeeDee Lamb’s injury might benefit the Cowboys as Pickens’ expanded duties since will have accelerated his progression, creating the offense more powerful when he comes back. Currently, the New York's backfield needs to be on their toes and even more to avoid a sorry slip to zero wins and five losses.

Baltimore Take On Houston in Surprising Matchup

A pair of unexpected 1-3 merchants meet in Baltimore as the banged-up Ravens are led into battle with the Houston Texans by reserve QB Cooper Rush. In this fixture previously, we saw Beyoncé’s amazing performance bookended by the Texans suffering a horrendous one-sided loss at their stadium on the holiday, then a decisive whipping in the postseason a month later at Baltimore. However, in the absence of the hurt award-winning Jackson on the field, who threw four touchdowns, scored additional TDs, and racked up massive yardage in the previous games, Houston’s defense will be confident.
