NFL Week 5 winners and losers: Commanders botch overtime as 49ers take command of NFC West

The NFC East’s Week 5 collapse left no winners, as all four teams failed to secure a victory—including the Washington Commanders, who squandered a chance to win in overtime against the New York Giants. The Commanders’ Jayden Daniels botched a final opportunity with under a minute left, fumbling a potential game-winning field goal attempt while sitting on the turf as time expired.

Meanwhile, the Giants escaped with a 27–27 draw after Cam Skattebo’s critical fumble in overtime dashed their hopes of stealing the game. The only bright spot for the division came from the Giants’ defense, which held off Washington despite the offensive miscues that cost them the win.

Elsewhere, the San Francisco 49ers solidified their dominance in the NFC West with a commanding 5–0 start, including a statement victory over the Seattle Seahawks. Their early-season form has set them apart as the clear frontrunner in the division.

Meanwhile, the Jacksonville Jaguars made headlines in London, stunning the Philadelphia Eagles with a last-second walk-off field goal—an unlikely triumph that improved their record to 4–1 and marked their biggest win of the week.
