Week 5 of the NFL season is here. On Thursday, the Indianapolis Colts passed the Denver Broncos in the 12-9 overtime victory. Both teams worked without a catch in the game – so much for the frustration of existing fans.

The Las Vegas Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs conclude Week 5 action on Monday night. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, recently on AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors, will take aim at passing Cowboys legend Troy Aikman on the NFL’s all-time touchdown list.
