Week 5 of the NFL season will feature a lineup of great rivalries for fans to tune-in, while some matches pit an emerging superpower against a veteran team that seems heading to a free-fall.
Houston Texans vs. Dallas Cowboys
Sunday's football lineup will kick-off with an interesting intra-state battle between the Dallas Cowboys and the Houston Texans. Both in a funk last season, these two Texan football club appear taking on a right direction for the start of the season with each boasting a solid 3-1 slate through four games.
Injuries have been big issues for both of these teams so far, and it could pile up even more after this highly-physical battle.
The Cowboys are expected to lean on their passing game led by quarterback Tomy Romo, who already covered 936 yards with seven touchdowns this season. Running back DeMarco Murray will be another key factor for the Cowboys, who surprisingly ranked first in the NFL in rushing yards per game (165 yards).
The Texans, on the other hand, will count on signal-caller Ryan Fitzpatrick to deliver again after covering 268 yards with one TD in a 23-17 win over the Buffalo Bills in their last outing.
Cincinnati Bengals vs. New England Patriots
In unexpected turn of events, the model of stability for almost two decades that is the New England Patriots is slowly crumbling before our very eyes. The Pats have endured setbacks before, but this one is a different monster.
With quarterback Tom Brady struggling to find his groove, the Pats offense is suddenly in shambles and teams like the Kansas City Chiefs pounced on their lapses on the field.
On the contrary, the Bengals have been on a winning mode and there great tactical approach in each game allowed them to grind out victories after another. After taking a bye week last Sunday, the Bengals will be even more recharged to further inflict more damage on the Pats at Gillette Stadium.
