It was a Sunday of comebacks across the NFL. Week 5 saw an 18-point lead crumble in Arizona, a 17-point lead vanish in Carolina and a 14-point lead disappear in Philadelphia.

After the dust finally settled, there wasn’t an unbeaten left.

Both the Buffalo Bills and Philadelphia Eagles — the league’s only undefeated teams heading into Week 5 — were upset at home Sunday. The Bills dropped an AFC East battle with the New England Patriots, who rode an excellent night from Drake Maye (273 passing yards), a revenge game from Stefon Diggs (146 receiving yards on 10 catches) and a 52-yard game-winning kick from rookie Andres Borregales to victory.

New England’s 23-20 win was quite a statement from Mike Vrabel’s team. This isn’t the Patriots of the past few years. This team can play — and beat — the best in the league.

Meanwhile, the Eagles were upset at home, 21-17, by the Denver Broncos. A 14-point second-half lead ended with the Eagles’ first loss of 2025 and just their second in their last 22 contests. Broncos quarterback Bo Nix led two fourth-quarter scoring drives, completing nine of 10 throws for 127 yards and a touchdown in the final quarter, in an impressive road win for Denver.

Somehow, Saquon Barkley still hasn’t had a 100-yard rushing game five games into the season. The 2024 rushing champ finished with just 30 on six carries Sunday (he did have a receiving score), and his struggles speak to the struggles of the Eagles’ offense: Philly didn’t score a single point on its final five drives.

The New York Jets are the only winless team after five weeks because the Tennessee Titans, down 21-6 to the Arizona Cardinals in the fourth quarter, scored the game’s final 16 points — including a wild, ricocheted fumble they recovered in the end zone — to earn the first win of the Cam Ward era.
