The Philadelphia Eagles continued to soar in Week 5, while the Commanders, Giants, and Cowboys were all blown out by their respective opponents.
Week 5 of the NFL season was mostly about embarrassing blowouts suffered by the majority of the NFC East teams. Of course, the lone exception right now is the Philadelphia Eagles, who, along with the Sa Francisco 49ers, remain undefeated.Oct 5, 2023; Landover, Maryland, USA; Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore scores a touchdown against the Washington Commanders during the fourth quarter at FedExField.
Chicago scored on the game’s opening possession for an early 7-0 lead, with Moore hauling in a 58-yard reception and a 20-yard touchdown. On their next possession, a 34-yard run by Herbert highlighted an 11-play, 70-yard drive that ended with a 22-yard field goal from Cairo Santos, the first of four on the night for the Bears kicker.
Washington then had an excellent chance to make it a one-possession game by forcing a three-and-out and mounting a drive into Chicago territory. But Slye missed a 46-yard field goal attempt, and the Bears put the game away three plays later when Fields connected a 56-yard touchdown pass to Moore. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford threw for 222 yards and two touchdowns. Wide receiver Cooper Kupp, who was making his season debut, caught eight passes for 118 yards.
The second half would see the Eagles control the entire game flow. Although they only added six points, courtesy of a pair of Elliott field goals, the two scoring drives took off 8:09 and 5:49, a combined 13 minutes and 58 seconds of clock. Meanwhile, the Rams had the ball for just 10 minutes and 44 seconds throughout the entire second half, and their five drives resulted in three punts, a turnover on downs, and time running out.
