Our Week 5 show begins with a discussion of the Tennessee Titans COVID situation, then we preview big games from Week 5 including Indianapolis-Cleveland, Las Vegas-Kansas City, and Dallas against the New York Giants. (Click for audio link.)

Here we go with the rescheduling of Week 5 games due to COVID. First up, the Broncos-Patriots game in New England will be played on Monday afternoon/evening at 5:05 Eastern instead of as a 4:25pm Eastern kickoff on Sunday.

New on ESPN+: surprising stats for all 16 NFC teams. Let's look at the struggles of the Arizona offense, Dallas secondary, and San Francisco offensive line. Plus, one thing Detroit is doing right!

Oh boy. The Tennessee Titans players apparently gathered for a secret workout at a Nashville-area high school last week, flouting NFL COVID protocols.

The introduction of opponent adjustments scrambles our ratings a bit, with Tampa Bay emerging as a surprising, balanced No. 1 team. Kansas City, Baltimore, Indianapolis, and Green Bay round out the top five.

Houston owner Cal McNair today fired head coach and general manager Bill O'Brien after an underwhelming 0-4 start.

Patriots quarterback Cam Newton tested positive for COVID-19 and is out for this week's game with Kansas City. The league has postponed the game indefinitely. It is likely to be played Tuesday but additional positive tests would probably postpone it further.

Our latest ESPN+ feature looks at the Patriots offense. Early on, this year's Patriots are just as efficient as the recent Brady offenses, even more efficient than some years. But how they're getting there is very different thanks to the strengths and skills of Cam Newton.

Our Week 4 show starts with a little talk about the situation with the New York Jets, then it is on to Week 4 game previews: Buffalo at Las Vegas, New Orleans at Detroit, Philadelphia at San Francisco, and New England at Kansas City. (Click for audio link.)

Uh-oh.
