5 things we saw in week 5 of the NFL.


1. The Rams are the worst team in the NFL. The Rams only have a handful of players that could actually be considered average to above average. They are now 0-5 and have been outscored 34-146. They have scored the least amount of points in the NFL and have allowed the second most. Outside of the week two loss against the pathetic Redskins the closest game they have played was a 19 point loss to the Packers. They have also been shutout twice by the 49ers and Seahawks.

2. The Bengals have become tough. Somehow the Bengals have turned into a difficult team to play that fights to the last second. Outside of their heartbreaking loss to the undefeated Denver Broncos in week 1 they have pulled out close game after close game, winning their last three games by three points, maybe Marvin Lewis is finally earning his pay. 

3. Andre Johnson is great.
Playing on the Texans has kept Johnson under the radar for the past few seasons. Larry Fitzgerald had an amazing playoff run last season, but it's not Johnson's fault that his team has never been to the playoffs. The fact is the past four seasons no one has been better. He led the league in catches in 2006 and 2008. Led the league in yards per game in 2007 and is leading the league this season in receiving touchdowns.

4. The Redskins have a terrible offensive line.
The skins are loaded with talented impact players, but can't seem to keep defensive players out of their backfield. If they had a decent O line they could be very well looking at 5-0, instead they are sitting at 2-3. Their three losses were by an average of five points.

5. The wildcat can work with proper coaching and proper offensive weapons. The wildcat is all the rage in the NFL right now but it can only work if you have the right players and system. The Dolphins have dedicate themselves into running the most productive wildcat in the league. They also have two good running backs that understand the system and two quarterbacks that are OK with not taking every snap.
