I went 7-8 in the fifth week of the 2026 NFL season.
We saw a couple unexpected blow-outs last week. The Bears were able to not only tread water, but they were excelling with their backup quarterbacks. That ended last week with a big loss. It appears that QB Caleb Williams is on track to play this week.
I think the Commanders is one more embarrassing moment away from firing their head coach and becoming sellers at the deadline. They may already be sellers, but last week’s goof that turn into a tie should have been a fireable offense.
Can the Cleveland Browns keep it close at home against the Baltimore Ravens?
