2024 NFL Week 5 Awards

From Daniel Jones DOMINATING the Seahawks to Sean McDermott putting on a coaching disaster class, here are the NFL Week 5 Awards

nfl week 5

We’ve made it to NFL Week 5 and after a month of sloppy, mediocre QB play, the preseason rust is off and guys like Joe Burrow and CJ Stroud and Trevor Lawrence put up some monster numbers.

Disclaimer: I haven’t watched the Cowboys and Steelers game because the NFL will not trick me into watching football from 9am to 1am. I have THINGS to do (new season of Love is Blind).

Here are your NFL Week 5 Awards:

 

The You Should’ve Just Re-Signed Joe Flacco Award: Cleveland Browns

Today, Joe Flacco was 33-for-44 (75%) with 359 yards, 3 touchdowns and a 121.3 passer rating. The Colts put up 34 points with Anthony Richardson on the sidelines.

Deshaun Watson was 15-for-28 for 125 yards, a touchdown and an 8.5 QBR, the second time this season Watson finished a game with a single-digit QBR.

Deshaun Watson is objectively the worst quarterback in the NFL while Joe Flacco just shows up, drops 30 points and hits his vape.

Oh, and last week, Deshaun Watson gave a weird quote saying he’s not a running quarterback. Meanwhile, 39-year-old Joe Flacco, looks like prime, well, prime Deshaun Watson:

Cleveland should’ve just brought back Flacco but the pervert persists.

The Trading For Davante Adams Won’t Save You Award: New York Jets

It’s been reported that Las Vegas Raiders “star” receiver, Davante Adams, wants a new home and he may be interested in reuniting with his old running mate in Green Bay. Before the season, it would’ve made all the sense in the world to bring in one of the best receivers of his generation, and someone who already has had long-sustained, proven success with Aaron Rodgers.

But this Aaron Rodgers isn’t the same guy.

That Aaron Rodgers was the best quarterback on the planet.

This Aaron Rodgers was almost the running mate to a presidential candidate with brain worms.

Rodgers has 5 interceptions this season through 5 games. Zach Wilson through 7 in 11 games last year.

Also great when you build your team around an elderly, limping podcaster who is just as bad as the guy he’s replacing.

Davante Adams won’t save the Jets.

The Red Zone MVP Award: Kyler Murray

NFL Red Zone should stop what they’re doing and immediately cut to the Arizona Cardinals every time they start an offensive possession. Kyler Murray is different.

Kyler broke past the line of scrimmage and pointed to the ENDZONE from the 50-yard line before outrunning the entire 49ers defense to the house. Murray runs like a cartoon animal running in place while smoke builds around their feet and no one can stop him.

The Carson Wentz Award For Cartoonish Hijinks: Jordan Love

Unfortunately, the Tennessee Titans were on a bye this week so for the first time all season, Will Levis will not be winning the Carson Wentz Award For Cartoonish Hijinks.

Thankfully, Jordan Love stepped up in his absence.

Sack? No. Safety? No. Pick six? Much better decision.

Biggest Winner: Daniel Jones

I think we are witnessing a player genuinely improve right before our eyes. If Sam Darnold and Geno Smith and Jared Goff and Baker Mayfield all improve but Daniel Jones can’t? When he’s healthy and can tuck the ball and run, Jones is a Top 15 QB capable of starting for a playoff team.

With no Malik Nabers or Devin Singletary, Daniel Jones flew into Seattle and threw 2 touchdowns on the Seahawks head.

This Giants team is wayyyyy better than the team that went to the postseason in 2022. They control both the offensive and defensive lines. They have offensive playmakers everywhere. From Nabers to Darius Slayton to Wan’Dale Robinson and now rookie, Tyrone Tracy, the New York Football Giants are SO BACK.

All I know for certain is that coming into the year, I thought Daniel Jones should be publicly executed and now I think he will raise the Super Bowl trophy over his head in a few months.

I am a totally unbiased Giants fan.

Biggest Loser: Sean McDermott

With 32 seconds left in a game tied at 20, Buffalo had the ball on their own 3-yard line. Naturally, they proceeded to throw 3 terrible deep balls, forcing them to punt with 16 seconds left to the Houston Texans who had all 3 of their timeouts and just needed one quick play to set up their game-winning field goal.

All Bufallo had to do was run the ball and get to overtime. They didn’t have the field position to be cute but somehow they managed 3 straight incomplete passes, giving Houston plenty of time to beat them.

Sean McDermott’s second worse move of the game. The was allowing Josh Allen to play after this hit:

Josh Allen got knocked unconscious and jogged back onto the field the next play like nothing happened.

Sean McDermott lost this game with awful clock management and may have lost the Bills future letting Josh play while his brain was still resetting.
