Week 5 NFL Sunday is officially in the books. The end of NFL Sunday is always bitter sweet. In a interesting way, I can literally watch 11293 hours straight of NFL football. But alas, week 5 is in the books and we have 16 more Sundays to go. Here are the 3 biggest story lines from week 5 NFL Sunday and to get a full recap of all the games listen to the Just Talk Podcast.

Josh Allen
Josh Alle and the Buffalo Bills have been incredible this season. We are going to look back at their week one loss against the Steelers with some utter confusion. I even called them overrated. Well they are not. Josh Allen continues to just get better and their defense is improved. They boat raced the Chiefs on Sunday Night Football and they might just be the class of the AFC.
JOSH ALLEN HURDLE ?

Chiefs Crumbling
The Chiefs defense is atrocious. And Patrick Mahomes has more interceptions than Jameis Winston right now. But as much as people want to panic about the Chiefs being 2-3 let us keep in mind that the Buccaneers struggled early last season too and ended up winning the Super Bowl.
Patrick Mahomes has thrown six INTs this season…

The Referees
Sure, Justin Herbert might be the quarterback in the NFL right now. The Chargers won a controversial game on a controversial call. The pass interference call on the Browns against the Chargers was one of the worst we’ve seen in a long time. It ended up costing the Browns the game and giving the Chargers a crucial win.
Just like players can be fined for taunting and penalized the referee should be fined for this defensive pass interference call. It gave the Chargers a win and the Browns a loss plain and simple
