It's Week 5, and offense is back! The defenses have been getting most of the love in the early portion of the 2024 NFL season, but the scoring sprouted back up again this week.
The Falcons and Buccaneers got seemingly everyone's fantasy football week off to a great start with a 36-30 overtime thriller on Thursday night.
Then Sunday's early window saw the Bears, Commanders, Colts and Jaguars score in the 30s, leading up to the Ravens' 41-38 overtime victory over the Bengals.
Quarterbacks were winging the ball all over the place, and teams were lighting up the scoreboards again. We've got nothing at all against defense here, but it's no overreaction to say it's a ton of fun watching Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson slug out a classic AFC North rivalry game.
