CUTTING IT CLOSE

Green Bay's 25-22 overtime win over Cincinnati made it at least one game that has gone to the extra period in each of the first five weeks of the season. It's only the second time, and first since 2018, that has happened. Also, there have been 18 games with a winning score in the final minute of regulation or in overtime, the most ever at this point of the schedule.

QUIET CATS

Jacksonville dropped to 0-5 with a 37-19 loss to Tennessee, its 20th consecutive defeat. The Jaguars now have the second-longest skid in NFL history, six shy of tying the record Tampa Bay set in 1977 over its first two seasons as an expansion team. The franchise’s latest debacle came eight days after coach Urban Meyer was captured on camera with a young woman dancing near his lap at an Ohio bar, behavior team owner Shad Khan called “inexcusable.”

CHASE-ING HISTORY

Cincinnati's Ja'Marr Chase had six receptions for 159 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 25-22 overtime loss to Green Bay, becoming the fifth rookie in NFL history with at least 50 yards receiving in each of his first five career games. He joined Dallas' CeeDee Lamb (2020), Washington's Terry McLaurin (2019), New England's Terry Glenn (1996) and Detroit's Earl McCullouch (1968).

KING HENRY

Derrick Henry ran for 130 yards and three touchdowns about 25 miles from where he grew up, leading Tennessee past Jacksonville 37-19. He padded his NFL rushing lead — he has 640 yards on the ground through five games — but ended a streak of three consecutive road games with at least 150 yards rushing. But he became the third Titans/Oilers player in history to top 60 rushing touchdowns, joining Hall of Famer Earl Campbell (73) and Eddie George (64). Henry has 62 total, including 14 against Jacksonville.

KICKING FOLLIES

Mason Crosby hit a 49-yard field goal in overtime after missing three straight attempts, lifting Green Bay to a wild 25-22 win over Cincinnati. The typically reliable Crosby missed potential winners with 2:12 and then 3 seconds left in regulation, and missed another attempt in overtime before finally winning it. Heading into the game he was 44 of 46 on field goal attempts since the start of the 2019 season. Crosby, who missed an extra-point earlier in the game and also made three field goals, came in having converted all six field-goal attempts and 11 PATs this year. The Bengals’ Evan McPherson also missed on shots that could have won the game, with 26 seconds left in regulation and again in overtime.

—

EXTRA! EXTRA!

It was a tough day for extra points, with kickers missing 11 of them Sunday. Houston's Ka’imi Fairbairn, New Orleans' Cody Parkey and the Los Angeles Chargers' Tristan Vizcaino each missed two. Also misfiring on PATs were the New York Jets' Matt Ammendola, Jacksonville's Matthew Wright, Tennessee's Randy Bullock, New England's Nick Folk and Green Bay's Mason Crosby. The Los Angeles Rams' Matt Gay also missed an extra point on Thursday night, making it 12 botched PATs in Week 5.

—

NO BIG MAC

The Carolina Panthers are 3-0 with Christian McCaffrey, but 0-2 without him — including a 21-18 loss to Philadelphia. It was difficult to pin the loss on the absence of the 2019 All-Pro as rookie Chuba Hubbard filled in well, rushing for 101 yards on 24 carries — the first 100-yard rushing game of his NFL career.

LONDON STALLING

London hasn’t been kind to rookie quarterbacks. With Zach Wilson and the New York Jets' 27-20 loss to Atlanta, rookie QBs are 0-5 in the English capital since the NFL started staging regular-season games here in 2007. It was the second London game for both teams, but their first at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. In 2014, the Falcons blew a 21-0 lead to the Detroit Lions, losing 22-21 on Matt Prater’s winning 48-yard field goal at Wembley Stadium. A year later, the Jets beat the Miami Dolphins 27-14 also at Wembley. The NFL will hold another game at Tottenham next Sunday when the Jacksonville Jaguars — with rookie QB Trevor Lawrence — face the Dolphins.

SIDELINED

Cincinnati quarterback Joe Burrow was taken to a hospital as a precaution after suffering a bruised throat during a 25-22 overtime loss to Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. Burrow, already playing with a surgically repaired left knee, was knocked down hard in the second quarter by defensive end Dean Lowry and stayed on the ground for several minutes before walking off the field. The Bengals punted, but Burrow returned on the next drive and threw a 70-yard touchdown pass to Ja’Marr Chase. ... Giants quarterback Daniel Jones, the sixth pick overall by the Giants in the 2019 draft, was ruled out against the Dallas Cowboys after sustaining a concussion in the first half.

New Orleans’ Taysom Hill suffered a concussion while trying to catch a pass in the second quarter of the Saints’ 33-22 win against Washington and Deonte Harris, who caught a 72-yard scoring pass from Jameis Winston, left with a hamstring injury. ... Washington lost multiple players: wide receiver Curtis Samuel (groin), rookie right tackle Sam Cosmi (left ankle) and cornerback Darryl Roberts (quadriceps). ... Pittsburgh wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster went to a hospital with a shoulder injury sustained while getting tackled following a 3-yard gain on an end-around in the second quarter of a 27-19 win against Denver. ... Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire left with a left knee injury after getting tackled following a screen pass in the third quarter.
