NFL Week 5 All About Survival with Lack of Marquee Match Ups

From week one to week four, the NFL did a wonderful job of creating match ups that were high profile and sure to advance the already popular league, but in week 5, they take a step back with only a few top games to watch.

The big game of the weekend will be in Green Bay, the site of so many top battles. The Chicago Bears come to town in what is a must win situation, and complicating things for the Bears is the game is being played in Green Bay in front of a national audience on Sunday night.

The Packers come in 4-0 and have the opportunity to bury the 1-3 Bears in the race for the division.

In the few other big games of the week, Detroit and Washington, two surprise teams, will be facing off to see whose dream season will survive another week, and whose will come down to reality.

Seattle travels to face the Steelers in a game that features two 3-1 teams. Pittsburgh is coming off an upset loss to Arizona and this will be the first test for new coach Mike Tomlin when his team is coming off a loss.

Tampa Bay will be traveling to Indianapolis to face the defending champions, who have started this season where they left off last year by winning their first four games. The Bucs are a surprising 3-1 to start their season and can solidify their standing among the leagues elite by defeating the high powered Colts.

The rest of the games are between teams that are struggling to find their way, except of course, on Monday night, when the undefeated Cowboys take the field in Buffalo.
