Live Football Updates

Welcome, football supporters! Get ready for week five of the National Football League action, where I'll bring you every update from the early games. This is a convenient late morning start on the west coast at 10:00 AM (PST), stretching to an late afternoon 6:00 PM (BST) in the UK. We just saw, the Minnesota Vikings mounted a comeback to defeat the Browns by four points thanks to a short Jordan Addison touchdown grab with just 25 seconds remaining at the London venue. The Vikings improve to three wins and two losses, while Cleveland fall to one win and four losses. The Sunday slate is in full swing.

We have a solid roster of six matchups to cover:

• Ravens vs Texans

• Panthers vs Dolphins

• Colts vs Las Vegas Raiders

• New Orleans Saints vs Giants

• New York Jets against Cowboys

• Eagles vs Denver Broncos

Key Battle: Philadelphia Face Denver

The marquee matchup is unfolding in Philadelphia with the undefeated reigning champions welcoming from Denver. On paper, you might anticipate an straightforward victory, but a quick search pops up headlines doubting whether the Philadelphia are the worst 4-0 team in history. It's unclear. What we do know, is they have benefited from some fortune on kick units with multiple blocked attempts, one of which earned a win against the Los Angeles Rams. The key battle will be how Broncos defensive coordinator their coordinator prepares his linebackers to stop Philadelphia’s versatile QB Hurts from marauding down the field. If they can make them throw, then a significant victory might follow for the Broncos, now with two wins and two losses, which would have many analysts, myself included, that predicted the Denver would finally depose the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC West feeling more optimistic.

Additional Games to Watch

In other games, a host of one-win wonders are keen to move nearer to .500 with a W, or right on the button in the case of the Dallas Cowboys after their madcap 40-40 tie with the Packers has them at one win, two losses, one tie. A trip to the Meadowlands to face the yet to win New York Jets should do the trick as they look to keep the scoring outbursts going between QB Prescott and wide receiver George Pickens. In the long run, star pass catcher CeeDee Lamb’s injury might benefit the Dallas as his increased role since will have sped up his development, making the attack stronger when he comes back. Currently, the Jets’ defense needs to be alert and then some to avoid a disappointing fall to 0-5.

Baltimore Take On Houston in Surprising Matchup

Two of unexpected 1-3 merchants meet in Maryland as the banged-up Ravens are led into battle with the Houston Texans by back-up quarterback Cooper Rush. In this fixture previously, we saw the superstar's stupendous performance bookended by the Texans suffering a devastating 31-2 defeat at home on the holiday, then a decisive beating in the playoffs a month later at their venue. However, without the hurt award-winning Jackson on the field, who threw four touchdowns, ran in three scores, and accumulated massive yardage across the previous games, the Texans' defense will be prepared.
