5 Best NFL games for fans to watch in Week 5
By Lucas Schuh
4. Buffalo Bills vs Tennessee Titans
The Buffalo Bills and quarterback Josh Allen have made a major jump and are one of the best stories in the league. Trading for Stefon Diggs this offseason, even if it cost them a first-round pick, is paying dividends for the Bills already. Adding him to an already-improving wide receiver room has been critical for this offense in the early going.

Whether it’s Diggs, Allen’s individual progress or a combination of the two, the quarterback has been at the heart of the Buffalo narrative to this point. He’s always had a cannon for an arm but his accuracy as a thrower remained an issue over his first two seasons. Through four games, though, he’s increased his completion rate from 58.9 percent to 70.9 percent.
Despite a 3-0 start, the Titans have been the opposite of a feel-good story. Their positive COVID-19 tests not only have halted the league to some degree and forced the schedule to be shuffled but it appears as if they were not properly following protocols, which may have led to the incident. That could lead to serious repercussions beyond having their NFL Week 5 game moved to Tuesday.
While that may be true, the fact that we get to see the Titans and Bills face off at a later date this week is great for fans. These two teams have been playing quality football through the start of their years and it will be interesting to see how they fare against one another.
