Welcome to Week 5 Grades!
There weren’t a lot of offensive fireworks around NFL During the first four weeks of the season, but that changed in Week 5 with the quarterbacks taking over. Over the first four weeks, there has only been one instance where a QB has thrown for at least 330 yards with three touchdowns (Jordan Love), but that changed in Week 5 as four quarterbacks have reached those marks so far, including two In the same game.
Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow put on a show during Baltimore’s wild 41-38 overtime win in Cincinnati. Jackson threw for 348 yards and four touchdowns while Burrow threw for 392 yards and five touchdowns (Kirk Cousins and Joe Flacco are the other players to throw for at least 330 yards and three touchdowns in Week 5).
