Week 5 is over and what a week it was. We had two big upsets last week, first it was the Atlanta Falcons who went into Metlife Stadium with a record of 4-0 and came out with their first loss of the season as the New York Giants came away victorious. Then, there was the 3-0 Cleveland Browns taking on the 1-3 Tennessee Titans. The Titans came out swinging and on a mission to snap the downward spiral…mission accomplished! The Browns lost 13-10.
Lastly, while it might not be an upset, the Seattle Seahawks handed the Washington Redskins their second loss in a row. That is a rare site as the Redskins haven’t lost back to back games since season 2!

W, 19-14 @WAS | Russell Wilson creating with his feet in a road win that the Seahawks struggled to secure. The secondary is not as dominant without Brandon Browner and Walter Thurmond. Still, it’s difficult to envision anyone beating them in Seattle. |

L, 21-7 vs. PIT | What you saw Sunday was, in theory, a young quarterback who was considered not quite 2K OLF ready and, hypothetically, would benefit from being redshirted his rookie season. Philosophically speaking, of course. |
