NFL schedule: Week 5 Sunday fixtures including Cowboys vs Packers and Giants vs Chargers
THE NFL has reached Week 5 and has pitted some of America’s biggest teams against each other including the Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers.
The NFL schedule in Week 5 will see Aaron Rodgers and Dak Prescott face off
The first game of Week 5 saw the New England Patriots take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Tampa Bay briefly threatened an upset when Cameron Brate scored a touchdown with two minutes left before Jameis Winston drove the Bucs to within 19 yards of the end zone, trailing 19-14 in the dying seconds.
But his pass to OJ Howard fell incomplete and the Pats improved to 3-2 with a gritty win.
However, the Buffalo Bills remain top of the AFC East and could put their stamp on that division with a win over the struggling Cincinnati Bengals.
The game of the week though looks to be in Dallas, where the Cowboys host the Packers.
Neither of the traditional super-powers has set the league on fire so far this season but the last time they met was a classic as Aaron Rodgers led Green Bay to an shock 34-31 win in the playoffs despite an 18-point surge by the Cowboys in the fourth quarter.
Elsewhere, the Kansas City Chiefs will look to maintain their unbeaten record against the Deshaun Watson-led Houston Texans while the two 3-1 teams meet in Detroit as the Lions host the Carolina Panthers, looking to put Cam Newton’s difficult week behind them.
