NFL Week 5, 2019: 5 Teams on upset alert
By Dan Parzych
Here are five teams that should consider themselves on upset alert heading into NFL Week 5 of the 2019 season.
During Week 4 of the 2014 season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers helped pull off one of the biggest surprise upsets by defeating the Los Angeles Rams 55-40 in front of their own fans.
With all due respect to the Buccaneers since they deserve plenty of credit for making this kind of statement win, this came as a huge shock for football fans since the Rams seemed like they would have a cake walk in this one.
As for what football fans should expect in Week 5 as far as potential upsets are concerns, well once again, there are plenty of candidates that will be on alert to avoid a similar situation to what happened with the Rams.
Right away, one team that stands out the most in Week 5 will be the Los Angeles Chargers, who will face a team they’re quite familiar with in the Denver Broncos Sunday afternoon.
One week after earning an easy win over the Miami Dolphins, the Chargers are fortunate enough to face another winless team in the Broncos, but just because Denver sits at 0-4 doesn’t mean this will be a guaranteed win for Los Angeles.
If anything, the fear of this being a rivalry game for the Chargers could result in a little extra trouble if the Broncos are feeling extra motivated to take down their rivals while earning that first win in the process.
