Week 5 Thursday Night Football
Thursday Night Football of NFL Week 5 kicks off in the nation’s capital as the Chicago Bears visit Washington D.C. to face the Commanders.
An almost century-old encounter, which has been replicated very few times, but remains an exciting matchup.
Out of the 52 games between the two, the Commanders have emerged victorious 27 times. The Bears have achieved victory 24 times, with only one tie, back in 1932.
This will mark the third time both teams have played on a Thursday Night, the first in the capital since 2007.
Week 5 Sunday Night Football
Sunday Night Football features a match between two of the most significant teams in NFL history: the Dallas Cowboys and the San Francisco 49ers.
Between them, they boast 10 Super Bowl victories, five each, making them the most successful teams in the NFC. Hence, an instant classic matchup.
The historical record between the two is truly balanced. In 39 games, both teams have won 19 of them, with an additional tie in 1969. As an additional fact, they haven’t faced each other in the regular season since 2020.
Week 5 Monday Night Football
A less frequently repeated but highly intriguing matchup will conclude Monday Night Football for NFL Week 5, as the Green Bay Packers embark on the journey they hope to make on February 11 next year.
The Wisconsin team will arrive at the Allegiant Stadium in Nevada to face the Raiders. This will mark the second Monday Night game played at the venue chosen for the “Final Battle” for the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
As mentioned earlier, this matchup is one of the least played in NFL history, with only 14 encounters. The Packers have dominated with 9 wins, while the Raiders have secured victory in just 5, the latest being that 20-0 result on September 13, 1987.
