NFL Week 5 Game Balls Go To….
#1: Raiders Offensive Line
Playing in London, the Oakland Raiders offensive line kept Derek Carr upright all day, allowing zero sacks to a Bears defense that had 17 sacks going into Week 5. They also opened holes left and right for Josh Jacobs, who had a 100-yard rushing day and two touchdowns.

#2: Kirk Cousins
After getting bashed all week and having his own receivers revolt against him, Kirk Cousins went out and balled on Sunday against the Giants. Cousins led Minnesota to a 28-10 win, going 22 of 27 for 300-plus yards and two touchdowns.

#3: Colts Defense
Get this…the Indianapolis Colts went on the road to Kansas City and held Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs offense to 13 points. That’s one of the toughest places to play in the NFL and by most accounts, the league’s best offense. Kudos, Chiefs. They sacked Mahomes four times, held their rushing attack to 36 yards, and allowed just three second-half points.
