Summary
Buccaneers-Seahawks was one of our Games of the Week in Week 5, and it absolutely delivered the goods. The Bucs may have come out of the game with a 38-35 win, but both teams further announced themselves as legitimate contenders in the NFC. That's where Robert Mays, Derrik Klassen and Dave Helman start the Week 5 recap episode of The Athletic Football Show. The guys also dig into the Broncos win over the Eagles, the Patriots upset of the Bills, and the Ravens continued fall from grace. The Commanders, with Jayden Daniels back on the field, grabbed their attention. And what exactly was that Titans-Cardinals game? Our crew hits all that, and a whole lot more, as it puts a bow on Week 5.
