NFL Scores Week 5: What Are the Week's Most Surprising Scorelines?

Another frenetic weekend in the NFL is underway, and there are already tons of surprising scores and epic plays. Here's a breakdown of the games that have turned heads so far:

1. Buffalo 31, Philadelphia 24

NFL fans continue to wait for the Eagles' inevitable turnaround, but it may never come. Mike Vick threw four picks in this mess of a game. Philly, sitting now at 1-4 on the season, can basically kiss the playoffs goodbye.

2. Minnesota 34, Arizona 10

Minnesota busted open this game at the outset, scoring four rushing touchdowns in the first quarter. They were finally able to get on the board in the win column, but should still be concerned about the conditions of their passing game. Those touchdowns were all rushing, with Adrian Peterson basically putting the team on his back.

3. Pittsburgh 38, Tennessee 12

The Steelers made an emphatic statement today. Big Ben threw for five TDs to only one pick, against a streaking Titans team. Chris Johnson had another underwhelming performance, coming up with a TD, but only 51 yards on 14 carries. Time for the Titans to start kicking  themselves over that massive contract?

4. Seattle 36, New York Giants 25

Maybe new blood at quarterback was just what the Seahawks needed. Charlie Whitehurst, filling in for the injured Tarvaris Jackson, led an 80-yard touchdown drive to lock up the win. Eli Manning threw for over 400 yards and three TDs, but also had three interceptions.

5. Oakland 25, Houston 20

Evoking the late Al Davis' iconic slogan, "Just Win Baby," the Raiders were able to pull out a win in Texas. This one went down to the wire. The final Houston drive ended as time expired when Matt Schaub threw a red-zone interception, boosting Oakland to 3-2 after five weeks for the first time since 2002. Somewhere up above, Davis is grinning.
