NOTICES
PUBLICNOTICE
PUBLICNOTICE
Week 5 in the NFL was a wild one.
Three of the early-window games –
not counting the Falcons topping the
Jets in the really early window in Lon-
don – came down to electric finishes.
And the Packers, Patriots and Vikings
won their games on field goals at or near
the end of regulation or in overtime, on a
day in which placekickers struggled at
historic levels.
We also saw an upstart team with a
rookie coach, the Chargers, outlast an-
other powerful AFC opponent in the
Browns in what could end up being a po-
tential playoff preview. The same went
for a rematch of last year’s AFC champi-
onship game, though this time it was the
Bills who prevailed over the Chiefs in
convincing fashion.
Elsewhere, a rough week got tougher
for embattled Jaguars coach Urban
Meyer, who saw his team drop to 0-5.
The Week 5 winners and losers:
WINNERS
The (AFC West favorite?) Chargers
In the track meet that was a 47-42
victory, the Chargers outslugged a wor-
thy contender in the AFC, the Browns.
Questions about defensive lapses
abound for both teams, but that the
Chargers had to battle back from a 14-
point, third-quarter deficit shows how
far Los Angeles (4-1) has come in Bran-
don Staley’s first season as head coach.
First, let’s highlight what the Char-
gers did do well on defense. One of the
main reasons Los Angeles was able to
keep the deficit manageable was be-
cause in three of Cleveland’s first five
trips inside the red zone, it clamped
down and forced the Browns to settle for
two short field goals and forced one
turnover on downs. But quarterback
Justin Herbert is quickly becoming one
of the young star passers in the entire
NFL. Herbert is on a historic pace in his
young career, bolstered by his 26 of 43
performance against the Browns for 398
yards with four touchdowns. He also
added a rushing score. He could be on a
track to insert himself in the MVP con-
versation. More important, with the
Chiefs looking vulnerable – especially
on defense – the Chargers could even
threaten for the division crown.
Not only offense in Arizona
A team coached by Kliff Kingsbury al-
ways was going to have dynamic play-
makers on offense. But the Cardinals
have remained the lone undefeated
team in the NFL also because of a really
talented and efficient defense. Going up
against a dynamic athlete and passer in
49ers rookie Trey Lance, who was mak-
ing his first career start, the Cardinals
prevailed 17-10.
Arizona was excellent in high-lever-
age situations. The Cardinals limited
the 49ers to 3 of 11 conversions on third
downs, kept the Niners out of the end
zone in their only goal-to-go scenario of
the game and stopped San Francisco on
fourth downs on four out of five tries.
According to Elias Sports Bureau, it was
the only time in at least the last 40 sea-
sons that a team recorded four fourth-
down stops in a game. The Cardinals
will start to have a target on their backs,
but having a now-improved defense
makes this team that much more dan-
gerous because it won’t be incumbent
on quarterback Kyler Murray and the
Arizona offense to carry the team.
The losing Lions
Yes, they fell in heartbreak, again.
And players and coaches in the NFL al-
most never want to hear about silver lin-
ings. But what rookie coach Dan Camp-
bell is doing in Detroit, getting his team
to punch above its weight and nearly
pull off two improbable upsets in two
weeks, should be admired. The Lions
lost to the Vikings 19-17 on a crushing
game-winning field goal after Detroit
had battled back from a 10-point deficit
with a little more than five minutes left
to play. This came one week after the Li-
ons lost (also 19-17) when Ravens kicker
Justin Tucker set an NFL record with a
66-yard, game-winning field goal.
In both cases, the Lions gave up big
passing plays to put their opponents
near field goal range. Those are issues
the team needs to clean up. This Lions
roster is still young and has a lot of
holes. Jared Goff is not a long-term an-
swer at quarterback. But Detroit ranks
second in third-down defense (27.78%)
and has become a high-effort team.
That has kept it in these games. If
Campbell can keep developing the tal-
ent the Lions have and if the Lions im-
prove their roster over the next couple of
seasons, Detroit could be a team to
watch in the near future.
LOSERS
Kickers
The NFL, when it changed its rule in
2015 to push back the extra point, want-
ed the play to have more drama. In Week
5, the league got its wish. There were 12
missed extra points before Monday’s
game. Extra points weren’t the only
kicking struggle. There have also been
12 missed field goals. This shouldn’t
necessarily be chalked up to any big-
picture issues or problematic trend; ev-
ery now and then, a week comes by
where this just seems to happen. This
one, however, was the worst kicking
performance since the rule change.
What makes this case interesting,
though, is that weather typically plays a
factor in poor kicking. This week, games
were not affected by inclement weather.
In particular, the Packers’ 25-22 over-
time victory against the Bengals offered
a study of kicking comedy. At one point,
Mason Crosby of the Packers and Evan
McPherson of the Bengals combined for
five consecutive missed field goal kicks
in a stretch of fewer than eight minutes
of game time – and it happened in the
fourth quarter and overtime. And, if
there were a missed extra point in Mon-
day’s game between the Colts and Rav-
ens, it will set a record for the most com-
bined missed extra points across the en-
tire league in a week.
Urban Meyer
With each passing day, Urban Meyer
is showing that the head coaching job of
the Jaguars is too big for him. It wasn’t
so much that the Jaguars lost to the AFC
South rival Titans 37-19. It was the effort
they showed. Early in the third quarter,
with Tennessee holding an 11-point lead,
the Jaguars defense did not look inter-
ested in tackling Titans running back
Derrick Henry on a 9-yard TD rush.
It’s no surprise that effort was an is-
sue. This entire week was shrouded in
controversy over Meyer’s decision to
stay in Ohio after a loss to the Bengals,
missing the team flight. He was later
filmed at a bar, where a woman who was
not his wife danced on him. It would be
natural for players to question his com-
mitment.
After the incident in Ohio, owner
Shad Khan issued a strong statement
and said Meyer “must regain our trust
and respect.” Yet Meyer has repeatedly
failed to hold himself accountable and
routinely blames others for mistakes,
even his players. After Sunday’s loss, re-
porters asked him about a 4th-and-1 call
and why Trevor Lawrence didn’t keep it
on a quarterback sneak. Meyer said
Lawrence was “not quite comfortable
with that yet” and added “I don’t micro-
manage who is in the game.” Minutes
later, Lawrence disagreed and said that
while it wasn’t something they had done
in a game yet, that he was “comfort-
able.” This team has had bouts of mental
mistakes and communications issues,
careless penalties, carelessness with
the ball. And it all falls on Meyer.
Brian Flores and Chris Grier
Memories of Miami’s surprise 10-win
season in coach Brian Flores’ second
season with the Dolphins feel so long
ago. And after the defending Super Bowl
champion Buccaneers throttled the Dol-
phins 45-17, both Flores and general
manager Chris Grier have some signifi-
cant questions to answer. The Tampa
Bay roster is better than Miami’s. It
might be the best in the entire league.
But Flores, a coach with a specialty on
defense, spent 15 seasons on the Patri-
ots coaching staff, each of those when
Tom Brady played in New England. He
should have at least a decent idea of
how to fluster Brady.
Instead, Brady completed 30 of 41
passes for 411 yards with four TDs. The
Bucs failed to convert only three of their
11 third-down attempts. And Tampa Bay
gained 558 yards of total offense in what
was simply a defensive collapse for Mi-
ami (1-4). While Grier has hit on some of
his recent draft picks, his inability to fix
holes at running back, linebacker, offen-
sive line and quarterback are concern-
ing. Though second-year passer Tua Ta-
govailoa has been sidelined with broken
ribs, Grier will always have to face ques-
tions of how Miami passed on Justin
Herbert, who has been a revelation for
the Chargers and was taken one pick af-
ter Tagovailoa was. It’s too early for a to-
tal cleaning house, but if more perform-
ances like this follow, that time may be
quickly nearing.
The Panthers as NFC disruptors
They had a hot start to the season,
but after consecutive losses Carolina
has regressed to the mean. Granted, last
week’s defeat came against a powerful
Cowboys team and both have been with
star running back Christian McCaffrey
sidelined. But Carolina (3-2) blew a 12-
point lead it held in the second quarter
and squandered several chances to ex-
tend their lead in a disappointing 21-18
loss against the Eagles.
Carolina’s defense held its end of the
bargain early in the game. Other than
the three first downs the unit gave up on
Philadelphia’s end-of-half drive in the
second quarter, the Panthers had al-
lowed the Eagles to move the chains just
twice in their other 10 possessions to
start the game. The Panthers defense
constantly put the offense in great field
position, but Carolina stalled when it
got into plus territory. Quarterback Sam
Darnold has now thrown five intercep-
tions in the last two weeks after tossing
three against the Eagles. Though there
were other shortcomings, his inability
to move the ball when Philly brought
pressure doomed the Panthers. The
special teams unit allowing the Eagles
to block a punt with four minutes left in
the game set up the game-winning
touchdown. But don’t lose sight of the
throw Darnold missed to receiver Robby
Anderson on third down. These are the
games Carolina needs to win to be a
contender in the conference. This loss
shows the Panthers still have some
work to do to get there.
