Conor and Jacob reflect on the fifth Sunday of the NFL season. The Commanders are hot, you can't call half of the games - and what a game between the Ravens and the Bengals...

Michael and Mark reporter from the back of a taxi after Sam Darnold, leading the Minnesota Vikings, maintained their impressive undefeated streak by narrowly defeating Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets with a 23-17 victory at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, marking the opening NFL London game the season.

It's an honour to chat with Osi Umenyiora and Jared Allen ahead of their induction into the NFL London Games Ring Of Honour, which takes place at the half of the Jets-Vikings game this weekend.

To celebrate the 17-year history of the NFL playing in the U.K., the league will honour two NFL Legends that have had an impact on the game: London-born, two-time Super Bowl champion Osi Umenyiora and five-time Pro Bowler Jared Allen. The NFL London Games Ring of Honour ceremony recognizes those who have contributed to the growth and development of football in the U.K. and Ireland -- both on- and off-the-field. 

As part of the halftime ceremony on Sunday, honourees will make brief remarks on-field and banners paying homage to their careers will be revealed. Banners will be displayed at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium throughout the 2024 NFL London Games, and will return in the NFL seasons ahead.

Jeff and Michael are back ahead of Week 5 Sunday, making their selections ahead of the fifth week of action.

Week 5 on TAP!

Narrative Commitment After Four Weeks
After four weeks of action-packed games, the league has thrown us a crazy amount of storylines, from underdogs like the Commanders rising to perennial powerhouses stumbling. We're laying down our flag on a narrative that's not just a trend but looks set to define the season.

The Kansas City Chiefs: 4-0, But At What Cost?
At 4-0, Is it foolish to doubt the Chiefs? With Patrick Mahomes at the helm, can we really count them out? We'll break down their gameplay, analyze their strategy, and debate whether these close calls are a sign of things to come or just a blip in their quest for another Lombardi Trophy.

Michael and Daire are back for another edition of The PFI CFB Podcast, as we roll into the sixth week of the College Football Season.

Bama-Georgia Recap:
In our latest episode, we tackled the monumental showdown between Alabama and Georgia. The game, which had everyone on the edge of their seat, showcased Alabama's Jalen Milroe stepping up, navigating Georgia's formidable defense with a poise that could signal a shift in the SEC's power dynamics. We delved into the tactical plays, the key moments, and what this means for both teams' season outlook.

Missouri-Texas A&M Preview:
Looking ahead, we're setting our sights on Missouri vs. Texas A&M. This game promises to be a defensive battle, with Missouri's improving offense clashing against Texas A&M's robust line. We'll discuss what Missouri needs to exploit in Texas A&M's game plan and vice versa, offering predictions on who might come out on top in this critical matchup.

Upset Alerts:
The college football landscape is unpredictable, and this week, we're sounding the alarm for potential upsets. Michigan, Tennessee, USC, and Miami are all on our radar. After Ole Miss's surprising upset, we're analyzing each team's vulnerabilities. Could Michigan's defense finally falter? Is Tennessee's inconsistency going to bite them? USC's road woes and Miami's fluctuating form make them prime candidates for weekend surprises.

Heisman Race Update:
The Heisman watch is always a hot topic, and this year's race is as thrilling as ever. Jalen Milroe's performance against Georgia has him firmly in the conversation. Cam Ward's dynamic play at Miami continues to impress. Travis Hunter, playing both ways for Colorado, might just be the most versatile athlete in the race. And let's not forget Ashton Jeanty from Boise State, whose explosive plays have turned heads. We'll break down their stats, their teams' performances, and what they need to do in the coming weeks to stay in the Heisman race.
