6 things we loved about Week 5 in the NFL

Aaron Rodgers owns Dallas, Leonard Fournette ain’t scared, Myles Garrett has arrived, and more.

We’re officially in the second quarter of the NFL season — and Aaron Rodgers stole the show with his game-winning drive against the Dallas Cowboys.

But there were other things that happened this week we need to pay homage to. Leonard Fournette and Nelson Agholor had our most disrespectful moments of the week, with their teams coming up with big wins.

Remember Myles Garrett? The highly touted No. 1 overall pick? Yeah, he played like one on Sunday in limited game action with two sacks.

So let’s review, starting with...

Aaron F***ing Rodgers

If there’s one quarterback in the league who you had to watch for the rest of your life, it’s going to be this guy. There’s nothing the guy can’t do, and he is probably the smartest quarterback playing the position — he is Free Play Shawty after all.

The Cowboys scored a late touchdown to take a 31-28 lead against the Packers with 1:13 remaining in the game. That was more than enough time for Rodgers, who pieced together a touchdown drive in a minute and two seconds.

At no point did it look like Rodgers and the Pack were going to play for a field goal. After he scampered for this 18-yard run, it was even more obvious:

Rodgers would later miss Davante Adams for the game-winner but decided he was going to go right back to him like a boss.

Game. Blouses.

Rodgers always plays well in Dallas, and he knows it. Afterward he said, “They should have the Super Bowl here every year.”

Just think of all the kids growing up in Dallas who are going to hate Rodgers for the rest of their lives because of how good he’s been against the Cowboys. It’s perfect!

Leonard Fournette doesn’t care who you are, he wants to devour you

Show me a rookie who’s got more juice than Fournette. You can’t.

Before the season even started, Fournette said the NFL was “a lot slower than I really thought.THE NFL! SLOW!

On Sunday afternoon he kept his flex going by stiff-arming one Steelers defender then inviting Mike Mitchell to come get a piece too:

Fournette didn’t exactly truck Mitchell or anything, but he’s calling shots during the game! That’s the type of bad-assery that the Jaguars are going to need if they want to win the AFC South.

He then polished off the Steelers with this 90-yard touchdown run:

Fournette finished the game with 181 yards and two touchdowns. If the Jaguars are on your favorite team’s schedule, and that defense is bad, brace yourself. He’s coming.

Myles Garrett está aquí

Garrett let us know in Spanish earlier last week that he was back. What he didn’t tell us was how he was going to ball out on Sunday.

The No. 1 overall pick’s debut was delayed because of his high ankle sprain, but he made the most of his debut with two sacks.

This right here is the first of what should be many sacks for Garrett:

After his second sack, Garrett paid tribute to the great J.R. Smith, showing love to another great Cleveland athlete:

He was the first top draft pick to register a sack in his first NFL game in 25 years. That list includes the great Bruce Smith.

After the game, Garrett told Cleveland.com, “I always want more.”

So do we, Myles. So do we.

Nelson Agholor became a father ...

... to Budda Baker. Carson Wentz had one heckuva first half against the Cardinals, with four touchdown passes. The fourth one went to Agholor, who hit Baker with the brakes, a stiff-arm, a spin, and a juke before he ate the turf:

Agholor finished the play by paying tribute to DeSean Jackson with the backward trust fall into the end zone. That’s the full arsenal right there as Agholor successfully son’d Baker.

I’ll let SB Nation’s Norf Philly native, Tyler Tynes, appropriately gas Agholor up:

Aye, breh, listen. I don’t respect anyone from the state of Washington. Budda thought this was a game. Foh. Buddy caught a Popeyes 3 piece special wit no sauce, no napkins, no concern. If he was a real one and didn’t go to a college that celebrated fake wolf dogs, he mighta had the foresight to know he was gonna get clapped up. Wild, breh. That would never happen to me. Upon first crossover I’ll let you walk into the end zone. You won’t embarrass me in front of my homies in the Gucci sweaters. All sympathy to Budda, but somehow, I’m gonna assume he deserved that hell Nelson put him through.

Back to our regularly scheduled programming.

We’ll consider this Baker’s cliche “Welcome to the NFL” moment.

“THE 3-2 PITCH”

The Eagles cruised by the Cardinals on Sunday 34-7. They played well in every aspect of the game, including the extracurriculars like celebrating.

After Wentz’s third touchdown pass of the first quarter, Torrey Smith, Alshon Jeffery, and Agholor participated in a baseball celebration, capped off with Smith hitting a home run:

Nobody’s done group celebrations better than the Lions this year, but if the Eagles are able to keep bringing these week in and week out, they can surpass them.

Between the cheeks

Browns rookie tight end David Njoku scored his third career touchdown on Sunday against the Jets. The Browns haven’t had much to celebrate this season, so Njoku was going to soak it all up.

He provided us with the first butt spike:

The slow-motion ripple in his ass makes the celebration. It’s kinda like those plays that look more impressive in slow motion than in real time.

I’m not sure if he planned for the ball to go straight back up like it did, but that’s also quite the risky proposition. If the football lands a little more forward, that’s a painful celebration.

Anyway, he should have to recreate that now for each touchdown.
