The Eagles fold Arizona and are the only team with full points. Surprising defeat for Green Bay at Totttenham Stadium. The reigning champions Rams beaten by the Cowboys
Philadelphia remains undefeated, Dallas continues to win, the New York Giants conquer London. It is the showcase of the fifth Sunday NFL. The Monday Night that completes the day is a tasty Kansas City-Las Vegas.
ARIZONA-PHILADELPHIA 17-20
–
The Eagles (5-0) remain the only team without defeat. They save themselves in Glendale, with Cardinals kicker Matt Ammendola who misses the 43-yard kick at the end of the match that would have forced the extra time. After the usual bungler Kyler Murray had wrapped up alone in the last drive of Arizona (2-3), compromising the opportunity to score the touchdown of the victory. Philly is solid, she never fights alone. The recipe for success is the usual one: many races with Miles Sanders and Jalen Hurts, with two tries on the ground, and they become 6 in the season, and a solid defense, in which quarterback Haason Reddick stands out. The Division, NFC East, is tough, with Giants and Dallas brilliant, but meanwhile the Eagles are all watching from above. Arizona eagerly awaits the return of super receiver DeAndre Hopkins, but it seems more smoke than roast. Not from the playoffs.
GREEN BAY-NEW YORK GIANTS 22-27
–
In London, in the Tottenham stadium, a surprise result matures. The Giants fold the Packers back, recovering from under 10-20 in the mid-game. Maybe Green Bay thought he had already won, maybe he underestimated the opponent. The fact is that New York amazes everyone, dragged by Saquon Barkley, who grinds 106 yards overall and scores a try, and Daniel Jones, with a battered ankle and a bleeding hand, but capable of throwing 21/27. Aaron Rodgers, at the first in England, launches touchdowns for Allen Lazard and Mercedes Lewis, but in the final on the opponent’s 7 yards he is seen deviating, incomplete, the passes to the third and fourth down from the defense of the Giants. Xavier McKinney signs the decisive game. New York, 4-1 record, best start since 2009, is the revelation of the beginning of the season. Well trained, she made up for the absences of many receivers, with Darius Slayton promoted to Jones’s first target. The Packers (3-2) have suffered beyond measure in defense and have forgotten the running game too quickly.
THE RAMS-DALLAS 10-22
–
The Cowboys (4-1) win for the fourth time in a row, unbeaten with Cooper Rush as quarterback. Micah Parsons makes the difference in defense, hunting Matt Stafford, the races, with Tony Pollard and Zeke Elliott who together produce 163 yards on the ground remain an unsolvable puzzle for the Californians who, even as reigning champions, now have a negative record: 2 won and 3 lost. The usual irrepressible Aaron Donald was not enough for them, and neither was Cooper Kupp’s usual applause goal, this time from 75 yards. The line of attack is a sieve, so it gets tough …
