Live Football Updates

Hello, NFL fans! Join us for the fifth week of the National Football League season, as I provide live coverage from the first matchups. This is a convenient late morning start on the Pacific coast at 10am (PST), stretching to an early evening 6pm (BST) in the UK. We just saw, the Vikings fought back to beat the Cleveland Browns 21-17 thanks to a 12-yard receiver TD reception with under half a minute left at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The Vikings improve to 3-2, while the Browns fall to one win and four losses. The Sunday slate is already off and running.

We have a solid roster of six matchups to cover:

• Baltimore Ravens against Texans

• Carolina Panthers against Dolphins

• Colts v Raiders

• Saints against Giants

• Jets vs Dallas Cowboys

• Philadelphia Eagles vs Broncos

Key Game: Philadelphia Face Broncos

The BIG game is taking place in Philly with the unbeaten Super Bowl champions welcoming from Denver. Theoretically, you might anticipate an straightforward victory, but a quick search pops up reports questioning whether the Eagles are the least impressive undefeated squad in history. It's unclear. However, is they have enjoyed some fortune on kick units with multiple blocked attempts, one of which secured a victory against the Los Angeles Rams. The key battle will be how Denver defensive coordinator their coordinator dials up his linebackers to stop the Eagles' dual threat quarterback Hurts from marauding down the field. If they can make them throw, then a significant victory might result for Denver, now with two wins and two losses, which would make prognosticators, myself included, who said the Broncos would finally depose the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC West feeling more optimistic.

Additional Games to Watch

In other games, a host of teams with single victories are eager to edge closer to a winning record with a W, or exactly there in the case of the Dallas Cowboys after their wild 40-40 tie with Green Bay has them at one win, two losses, one tie. A trip to the Meadowlands to face the winless New York Jets should secure a win as they aim to keep the scoring outbursts flowing between QB Prescott and wide receiver George Pickens. Ultimately, top receiver CeeDee Lamb’s absence might actually help the Cowboys as his increased role since will have sped up his progression, creating the attack stronger when Lamb does return. Currently, the New York's backfield needs to be alert and then some to avoid a sorry slip to zero wins and five losses.

Ravens Take On Houston in Surprising Matchup

Two of unexpected 1-3 merchants meet in Maryland as the banged-up Ravens are led into action with the Texans by back-up quarterback Cooper Rush. When these teams met previously, we saw the superstar's amazing performance bookended by the Texans suffering a horrendous one-sided loss at home on Christmas Day, then a 34-10 beating in the postseason a few weeks after at their venue. However, without the injured award-winning Jackson on the field, who threw four touchdowns, scored three scores, and accumulated massive yardage in the previous games, the Texans' defense will be prepared.
