The Cowboys go above .500 and begin their first win streak of the year with a win over the Buccaneers.

Overall, the game was fairly close at first, with Bucs' QB Jalon Daniels starting off strong. He completed eight of his first nine passes, but went on to go 11 for 21 on the rest of his attempts.

However, the Cowboys never let the Buccaneers earn a lead in this game. Although they were tied 10-10 in the second quarter, CeeDee Lamb tied things up with a 22-yard TD reception during the two minute warning.

Javonte Williams extended the lead again with another touchdown in the third quarter, and Dallas found themselves up 24-10 by the start of the fourth. Jalon Daniels rushed for a TD to make it a one-score game again, but Williams broke off for a 49-yard TD run to extend Dallas' lead once again.

Down 31-17 with just over 10 minutes to go, the Buccaneers opted to go for a field goal instead of going for it on 4th & 11 at the DAL 35. We're not sure why they did this, as it was still a two-possession game. Regardless, they failed to score again for the rest of the game as Dallas climbed to 3-2.

The Jaguars got off to a slow start, but two field goal drives kept it close in the first quarter. After Will Shipley's TD run on the team's opening drive, the Eagles allowed the Jaguars to score 19 unanswered points before they could get another touchdown on the board. However, they still only trailed 19-14.

Both teams traded a FG, with the Jaguars leading 22-17 with about seven minutes left to go. The Eagles were driving down the field until Josh Hines-Allen sacked Jalen Hurts, forcing him to fumble the ball. Travon Walker recovered the fumble and returned it for a big touchdown. Philadelphia was unable to recover and ultimately lost the game.

The Packers end the Bears two-game win streak and stay competitive in the NFC North with a close victory.

Despite Tyson Bagent playing well in Week 4, he only has a 59 OVR rating in Madden, which obviously showed in the sim. He completed 20 of 40 pass attempts for just 202 yards, one touchdown, and an interception. Furthermore, Chicago's run game was ineffective, earning just 79 yards on 29 rushing attempts.

Green Bay didn't play much better. After Jordan Love threw a touchdown pass to Tucker Kraft on the opening drive, their offense was unable to find the end zone for the rest of the day. Instead, the team relied on K Trey Smack, who converted 3 of 4 field goal attempts, including the game winner in the fourth quarter.

The Dolphins' offense played well on their first drive, but weren't able to replicate that success until the fourth quarter. Malik Willis eventually got a garbage time touchdown with 2:33 to go. But Miami remains winless after five weeks.

New Orleans had one good drive thanks to a strong punt return from Barion Brown, as well as a 25-yard catch from Juwan Johnson. But outside of that, and one FG drive, their offense failed to get anything going.

However, the Saints managed to have a 10-9 lead early in the third quarter before allowing the Vikings to score six unanswered points. In the end, the Saints dropped to 1-4 on the season, hurting their chances of winning the NFC South.

But the Jets ended up taking the lead at the end of the third quarter after Braelon Allen scored on a 1-yard run. Up 17-16 in the fourth, New York extended their lead with another FG to make things 20-16.

The Buffalo Bills recover from their Week 4 loss with a big win over the L.A. Rams.

There was virtually no defense in this game, and neither punter really had to do much. Instead, both offenses kept constantly scoring and kept this match exciting. The Rams won the first half thanks to a Kyren Williams TD run that gave them a 21-17 lead. But Josh Allen and the Bills kept things close, never letting L.A. take a two-possession lead.

By the start of the fourth quarter, the Rams had a 28-24 lead. Allen ran in for a score, giving Buffalo their second lead of the night. But Stafford found Davante Adams for a huge, 63-yard TD pass on the next drive, taking that lead right back.

However, that score gave Buffalo roughly four minutes to drive down the field, which they did with ease. Allen eventually found Keon Coleman in the end zone on a three-yard TD pass, and Buffalo once again took over.

With over a minute to go, the Rams only needed a FG to send things to OT. However, Buffalo's defense finally got their act together, forcing Stafford to throw an incomplete pass on fourth down, giving the Bills the win.
