Week 5 handed us an instant classic, and we had a lot of fun shining a light on it in this week's Bootleg Football Recap: youtu.be/0_HxAAFnYfY?...

The addition of Alohi Gilman makes this feels quite a bit different. Ravens need secondary help in the short term and that becomes the focus here - rather than just offloading a young rusher for picks out of the blue.

This is... unexpected. It bears watching more closely to see if Eric DeCosta is in "sell mode" (follows this up with other moves), or if this was just a one-off to recoup assets on a player that wasn't figuring into BAL's long-term plans. 🧐

The Chargers are trading for Ravens edge Odafe Oweh, per me and Mike Garafolo. A major move.

Aged like pretty much everything in the NFL: Not For Long. 🤣

Also gotta say, I'd much rather see the ending we saw last night than the one it looked like we were gonna get early on... that we've seen (what feels like) a hundred times at this point.

Cody is one of the best at breaking down the "how's & why's" of defenses at every level. Want to see him dive even deeper into all the changes Dennis Allen brought to the Bears D? Check out the latest Bear Era podcast!

KC is already playing with their food… and we are barely out of the first quarter.

With what we’ve seen tonight, Allen vs. Maye is going to be appt. viewing for the foreseeable future.

Not sure how the Dolphins walk into work on Monday and just go about their business like it's not all very much over.

Game of inches: a pass barely grazes a defender’s helmet and redirects so it is intercepted. That decides one of the most back-and-forth games of the season. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Chargers with some disaster-ball in the redzone that ends up with a Commanders pick.

Darnold with the Houdini escape and then finds Tory Horton for a TD. Miraculous.

Seahawks line is rolling right now. Just paving the way for these scores.

How you know the Bengals are struggling: Ja’Marr Chase has 4 catches… and 3 tackles (all on Browning INTs).

Alex Anzalone with a picture-perfect LB coverage drop for an INT vs. Browning. Nice hands catch.

Lumen is absolutely rocking today. Sunny Fall day with the Hawks playing well… just a classic NFL setting. 💥📣

Egbuka scores his 5th TD of the year on a DOT from Mayfield. So cool for a local kid coming home as a pro and getting to show out.

That KWalk/Charbonnet one-two punch pays off for SEA with a TD powered by a KWalk explosive, followed directly by a tough Charbs TD run.

Only a momentary reprieve, bc Darnold drills one to JSN for the TD on the next play. 🎯

Zyon McCollum with a clutch PBU for TB as the Hawks are driving for a score at the end of the half.
