Which NFL big man had the best Week 5?

Sunday was a great day for NFL big men scoring touchdowns and making plays. Chiefs defensive end Chris Jones scored on a pick six, as did Bengals defensive end Michael Johnson. Chargers defensive end Melvin Ingram had a goal-line carry for the Chargers (say, what?!) and wasn’t done with his goal-line work as he intercepted Raiders quarterback Derek Carr in the end zone. Vikings defensive tackle Linval Joseph got in on the action with a fumble recovery for a touchdown, something defensive end Sam Hubbard did, too to seal a Bengals win.

Last week, offensive playmakers made headlines as the NFL broke a record last week for the most passing touchdowns through four weeks. This week, defensive playmakers wanted in on the action.

Here are the five best performances from big guys on defense in Week 5, including four who scored touchdowns.

The Chiefs defense stepped up big in the team’s 30-14 win over the Jaguars and Jones was one of the top performers ... Before getting ejected.

The Chiefs defense looked more like the Jaguars defense as four players had interceptions, including Jones, who ran the ball back 20 yards for a touchdown.

Not too long after his pick six, Jones was disqualified from the game due to throwing a punch. He also tallied a sack in the win.

It’s not often that a player records a rushing attempt and gets an interception in the game game. It’s even more rare that both plays occur at the goal line.

Ingram’s first goal-line play was a second quarter rushing attempt on second-and-one at the Raiders’ 1-yard line. He failed to gain any yardage but running back Melvin Gordon got the job done on third-and-1, scoring for the Chargers.

In the third quarter, the Raiders had first-and-1 and inexplicably didn’t hand off to Marshawn Lynch. Instead, Carr threw a pass that Ingram intercepted and brought out to the Chargers’ 4-yard line.

Ingram finished the game with seven tackles, one sack, one interception and one rushing attempt for no yards.

This may have been the most impressive defensive touchdown on Sunday. Joseph running 64 yards down the field is no joke. And he looked so determined doing it. This is a 329 pound man we’re talking about. I dare you to not watch this play on repeat.

Joseph finished the game with five tackles, one sack (for a 15-yard loss) and the 64-yard fumble recovery touchdown.

10 years into his NFL career, Johnson recorded his first pick six and it came at a perfect time for the Bengals. Trying to make a comeback after trailing 17-0 in the third quarter, Johnson’s 22-yard pick six tied the game up at 17-17 (after the extra point).

The last time Johnson scored a touchdown, it actually also came against Miami. But it was the Hurricanes, not the Dolphins, during his senior season at Georgia Tech. Johnson finished with three tackles in addition to the interception and helped lead the Bengals to a 28-17 win.

Another Bengals defender contributed to that win, too and it was actually the rookie third round draft pick who sealed the comeback victory for Cincinnati. For the first time in Bengals history, two defensive linemen scored touchdowns in the same game.

With 2:46 remaining in the game, the Dolphins had the ball at their own 18-yard line when Ryan Tannehill was strip sacked by Bengals defensive end Carlos Dunlap. Hubbard scooped up the ball and ran it 19 yards for the touchdown. It gave the Bengals a 27-17 lead, which would turn into the final score. Both a rookie defensive end and 10-year veteran had their first scores for Cincinnati on the same day. Hubbard had three tackles in addition to his fumble recovery touchdown.

What a week for the NFL’s big men. It should come as no surprise that all four of these teams won on Sunday.
