Written by John Edward BetancourtIt's been an incredible season so far, with plenty of ups and downs and stories from each game that continue to captivate die hard football fans and even those new to the sport. But before we see what stories unfold in Week 6, let's go back and look at the top stories from Week 5! 1. There are no undefeated teams left. Why does this matter? That's simple, you often find at least one or two teams that dominate the league around this time of year, leading to all kinds of talk, but that's not the case for the 2014 season. Every team has suffered a loss and it speaks to the wildly competitive year that continues to unfold. We have seen some incredible play on the field this year and some amazing comebacks. Case in point... 2. How about them Browns? This is a great example of how teams are giving it their all every week. This is a squad that quite frankly is one that many fans write off every single week, yet they managed to pull off one hell of a comeback and beat the Titans when it looked like Tennessee had the game in hand. Kudos to the Browns for finally showing some guts and not letting another team just walk right over them. Hopefully they can keep it up... 3. The Texas teams need to be taken seriously. I for one, am not a Tony Romo fan, but credit is due to how well he has played this year and the Texas Bowl (not the official name but that's what I'm calling it) between Dallas and Houston was nothing short of spectacular. It was a riveting game that I could not stop watching and with good reason. Solid Defense from both teams partnered with beautiful offensive play. If Houston can get Fitzpatrick to play lights out, they're a serious contender. If Dallas keeps doing what they are doing, the same applies. 4. The Jets are in serious trouble. So the day finally arrived. Quarterback Geno Smith, after an awful (I'm being nice here by saying that) first half was finally sent to the bench to make way for Michael Vick and well...Vick was equally as awful (once again being nice). This is a team that is just a mess on every side of the ball and while the top brass of the team say Rex Ryan will be evaluated at the end of the season, let's be honest, there's a fair chance Rex could be the next Head Coach sent packing before the end of the year, which is a shame. We've seen brilliance from him as a Head Coach, is it Rex that's the problem, or the poor personnel that he's been left to work with? Time will tell. 5. Denver and New England made a few statements last week. Clearly not happy with a Monday Night blowout and another loss to the Seahawks, both Denver and New England rebounded and reminded the league to fear them. I question if New England can continue to dominate like that. One game does not fix an offensive line thin at talent and a receiving corps filled with mediocre receivers so we shall see. But Denver, holy cow. They obliterated the Cardinals despite some scares and Peyton Manning became the second QB in league history to go over 500 TDs in a career. Here's to hoping Denver has finally put it all together.
