NFL Week 5 Results According to Madden 25

As a seasoned football enthusiast with years of watching and analyzing games under my belt, I must say that the match between Dallas and Chicago was quite intriguing. Justin Fields had a decent day on the ground but seemed to struggle passing the ball, which is something I’ve seen many young quarterbacks go through. CeeDee Lamb, however, was a standout player, catching both touchdowns and showcasing his skills in the process. The Dallas defense also put up quite a fight without DeMarcus Lawrence, managing to sack Fields three times.


This week, we’ll examine the predictions made by Madden 25 for NFL Week 5 games. In previous weeks, Madden 25 has a record of 9-7 in its weekly forecasts, with an overall record of 39 wins and 25 losses since Week 1. The question is: can it maintain a winning record and improve its accuracy? We’ll see as we delve into the NFL Week 5 predictions made by Madden 25.

In a tight contest away from home, the Buccaneers edged their divisional foes, the Atlanta Falcons. The game began auspiciously as Baker Mayfield capped off the team’s opening drive with a scoring pass to Cade Otton. However, Atlanta’s offense picked up momentum in the second quarter, scoring two consecutive touchdowns. Despite this, Tampa Bay held onto a 17-14 advantage at halftime.

Regrettably, Kirk Cousins and his team found it difficult to score touchdowns in the second half against the Falcons, resulting in three field goal attempts. They managed to grab a 23-17 lead and scored nine consecutive points, but the gap remained narrow, with only one scoring opportunity separating the two teams.

In the remaining 4 minutes and 31 seconds of play, Tampa Bay scored a touchdown once more. This time, Mayfield connected with Mike Evans for a 18-yard pass, giving them a 24-23 advantage. Atlanta needed only a field goal to secure another victory, but they couldn’t advance far enough into range. With this win, the Buccaneers kick off the season with a 4-1 record and a firm grip on the lead in the NFC South division.

In video games like Madden 25, Sam Darnold’s low rating portrays him less effectively than his real-life performance suggests. Unfortunately, during the game against New York, he managed only one touchdown and two interceptions which led to a loss. However, the Jets’ offense performed well enough to push their record above the .500 mark despite this outcome.

In the initial half, New York didn’t give up any touchdowns at all. By the time they did, New York was already leading 21-10. The game became more competitive when Darnold threw a 59-yard touchdown pass to Jefferson in the fourth quarter, reducing the score to 21-17. However, a failed two-point conversion attempt allowed the Jets to secure the Vikings’ first loss of the season.

Carolina Panthers vs. Chicago Bears – NFL Week 5 Results According to Madden 25

In today’s game, there were a total of six turnovers between both teams, making it one of the lower-scoring matches. Caleb Williams and Andy Dalton each tossed two interceptions, and later in the fourth quarter, Williams lost possession of the ball as well. Neither quarterback managed to throw for over 175 yards nor completed more than 63% of their passes.

As a passionate Panthers fan, it appeared we had a promising beginning to our game. In our initial offensive series, we marched all the way down to Chicago’s 33-yard line. However, two penalties and some less-than-ideal plays forced us to punt later on. But then, in our second drive, Chuba Hubbard burst through for a thrilling 36-yard touchdown run. This made it seem like Carolina was stepping up their game.

It was during this period that turnovers occurred, causing the Panthers to hand over the ball to the Bears twice in a row on consecutive drives. Remarkably, these were the only instances where Chicago managed to score points throughout the entire match.

In the third quarter, the Panthers scored another touchdown, which sealed the game for them at 17-10. Offensively, both teams had a tough time, but the Panthers managed to score enough points to secure the victory and keep their season going.

Baltimore Ravens vs. Cincinnati Bengals – NFL Week 5 Results According to Madden 25

CIN07714028

In the opening minutes of the game, Baltimore managed to establish a 14-point lead over Cincinnati, due to the Bengals’ defense having trouble keeping up. Lamar Jackson, Baltimore’s quarterback, was virtually unstoppable, completing 25 out of 29 passes for a total of 269 yards and scoring two touchdowns in the process. Additionally, he ran the ball 7 times, accumulating 58 yards on the ground, with his longest run being an impressive 17-yard dash in the third quarter.

Initially, Joe Burrow and the Bengals offense struggled but eventually regained momentum. Joe Burrow passed for over 350 yards, scoring three touchdowns and one interception in a game they ultimately lost. The Bengals fought back from a 21-7 disadvantage to tie it 28-28 at the end of regulation. Nevertheless, Baltimore took control in overtime, scoring a touchdown in only seven plays, with Derrick Henry running it in for a five-yard score.

Due to their defeat, the Bengals stand at 1-4, and their chances of making it to the playoffs seem to be fading. On the other hand, the Ravens have won three consecutive games as they strive to recover from a rocky beginning (0-2).

Buffalo Bills vs. Houston Texans – NFL Week 5 Results According to Madden 25

In their game against his previous squad, Stefon Diggs showcased an impressive performance, managing six receptions for 85 yards and a score. Regrettably, the Texans could not secure victory over Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. The Bills’ offense bounced back from a lackluster outing last week, accumulating more than 410 yards of offense. Allen was accurate, completing 29 out of 38 pass attempts for 304 yards and tossing four touchdowns. Additionally, James Cook made a significant contribution with 77 rushing yards on 16 carries, adding another touchdown in the second quarter.

Indeed, Houston’s offense also shone brightly. C.J. Stroud managed to complete 67% of his passes for a total of 253 yards and scored two touchdowns. However, a crucial interception in the fourth quarter gave Buffalo an advantage, making the score 35-24. Subsequently, Stroud connected with Nico Collins in the end zone, but unfortunately missed Dalton Schultz on the two-point conversion attempt.

Buffalo went on to win 35-30 as they bounce back from their first loss.

In their first victory of the season, the Jacksonville Jaguars triumphantly beat the Indianapolis Colts 24-15. Trailing 6-0 midway through the second quarter, Trevor Lawrence connected with Christian Kirk for a game-changing 42-yard touchdown pass. As if that wasn’t enough, they forced Jonathan Taylor to fumble near the end of the half and added another field goal to their tally.

During the latter part, it was Jacksonville who seized control. Travis Etienne found the end zone from a 9-yard rush, giving Jacksonville a 17-6 lead. Indy answered back with another field goal, keeping them close, trailing by only one score.

Nevertheless, matters deteriorated for Indianapolis when Trevor Lawrence found Kirk in the end zone (for a 11-yard score this time). With a 24-9 lead, the Jaguars seemed primed to secure victory. However, the Colts scored their first touchdown with only 1:13 left on the clock, but failed to convert their two-point attempt.

Miami Dolphins vs. New England Patriots – NFL Week 5 Results According to Madden 25

In this matchup, Miami narrowly outscored the Patriots without any touchdowns being tallied. The second quarter was particularly lively, featuring four out of the six overall scoring drives that occurred throughout the game.

Tyler Huntley and Jacoby Brissett performed as anticipated, with Brissett slightly outperforming (completing 14 out of 28 passes for 200 yards, throwing one interception). The key factor that led to the Dolphins’ victory was a robust ground game. De’Von Achane carried the ball 24 times, amassing 105 yards, effectively propelling the Dolphins into field goal range on every occasion.

Other than that, not much to say here other than I’m glad it’s not on Thursday Night.

Cleveland Browns vs. Washington Commanders – NFL Week 5 Results According to Madden 25

The Browns successfully contained Rookie QB Jayden Daniels, who had been performing admirably up until that point. Despite this, Daniels ended the match without any turnovers, but he was sacked a total of four times during the game. Moreover, they effectively shut down the run-game as Brian Robinson Jr. could only muster 48 yards from his 13 carries.

Currently, Deshaun Watson isn’t performing at his peak like he did during his prime years. However, he managed a beautiful 28-yard touchdown pass to Jerry Jeudy. Unfortunately, he also tossed an unattractive interception in the second quarter. Fortunately for them, Cleveland’s defense came to their rescue this week. With this victory, they improve to a 2-3 record, hoping to transform their disappointing start into a successful season.

Las Vegas Raiders vs. Denver Broncos – NFL Week 5 Results According to Madden 25

Apart from their loss against the Panthers, the Raiders’ defense has shown impressive performance this season. They continued this trend during the recent game, effectively containing Bo Nix and the Broncos offense. As a result, Nix could only complete 59% of his passes for 173 yards, no touchdowns, and two interceptions. He was forced to leave the game due to injury, and in his absence, Zach Wilson managed to score.

Primarily, the Broncos struggled to break through the Raiders’ defensive line. Conversely, they performed better offensively. Regrettably, the turnovers we mentioned earlier resulted in two touchdowns for the Raiders. Apart from those turnovers, the Broncos’ defense conceded only two field goals.

With the win, the Raiders find themselves above .500 for now.

In the heat of the game, it was a tight matchup as we both managed to score on our opening drives. However, things took a turn for the worse in the second quarter when Arizona seemed to drop the ball. The San Francisco 49ers capitalized on their opportunity, racking up an impressive 28 points without a response from us, widening the gap to a daunting 35-7 by the end of the third quarter.

At the event, Brock Purdy, Deebo Samuel, George Kittle, and Jordan Mason were all present. Purdy successfully threw 20 out of 28 passes for an impressive total of 261 yards and scored three touchdowns. Deebo Samuel managed to catch one pass, accumulating 7 catches in total for 77 yards throughout the day. George Kittle also caught a pass, ending up with 5 receptions for 59 yards. Jordan Mason was steady, contributing 98 rushing yards on 20 attempts and scoring one touchdown.

Although the Cardinals managed to rack up more points, at that stage of the game it was essentially overtime – a period known as ‘garbage time’. This leaves them starting the season with a record of 1-4, whereas San Francisco has moved ahead with a winning streak of 3-2.

In the initial half, the Rams demonstrated strong play, but failed to maintain that level in the third and fourth quarters. At halftime, they were ahead 14-7, poised to receive the ball for the start of the third quarter. Regrettably, an expensive interception occurred during their opening drive of the second half, which Green Bay converted into a touchdown. Subsequently, Green Bay added another 10 points to their tally without response, eventually securing a 24-14 victory over the Rams.

In the game, Jayden Reed was awarded the MVP title as he made eight receptions totaling 125 yards and scored two touchdowns. The Rams struggled to counteract him, while their leading receiver, Puka Nacua, managed just 33 yards from six catches.

The Packers go 3-2 while L.A. dips down to 1-4.

Good news for Giants fans, your team scored a touchdown this week, and in the first quarter too! Bad news for Giants fans, the team still ended up losing to the Seahawks.

In a notable performance, Geno Smith shredded the New York Giants’ defense, completing 23 out of 31 pass attempts for an impressive 283 yards and two scores. Meanwhile, Kenneth Walker showcased his skills admirably, amassing 107 rushing yards on 17 attempts, with one of those carries resulting in a stunning 48-yard dash that brought them to the Giants’ 2-yard line.

To start the game, Daniel Jones and the Giants’ offense performed admirably on their initial possession. Devin Singletary kicked things off with two rushes for 11 and 14 yards each. Later, Daniel Jones found Wan’Dale Robinson for a long pass of 29 yards. The drive ended successfully with a 6-yard pass to Darius Slayton.

Initially, Seattle was given 13 unresponded-to points, resulting in a 20-7 advantage. Later, they added an additional 10 points in the final quarter, keeping a two-score difference that remained consistent all through the match.

Pittsburgh’s initial 3-0 winning run has transformed into a chilly 0-2 losing streak following defeats against the Colts and Cowboys. Neither team showcased exceptional play during these matches. Dak Prescott managed to toss two touchdowns, but he only succeeded in completing 60% of his passes and had one interception. Justin Fields ran the ball 11 times for a total of 56 yards, yet he could only muster 160 yards through his passes.

In the game, it was CeeDee Lamb who truly stood out as the Most Valuable Player (MVP). He not only secured both of Prescott’s touchdowns, but also managed to catch a total of 9 passes for an impressive 144 yards. Kudos also go to Dallas’ defense, who delivered a commendable performance despite being without DeMarcus Lawrence. They even succeeded in getting 3 sacks on Justin Fields, demonstrating their solid teamwork in what was a strong defensive effort.

In a hard-fought game, the Chiefs secure another victory with a narrow margin, keeping their unbeaten streak alive. The Saints managed to stay competitive during the initial half, but found it challenging to maintain that level of performance in the latter part of the game.

In a nutshell, Patrick Mahomes successfully tossed 22 passes out of 41 attempts for a total of 293 yards and scored two touchdowns. However, he also had an interception that set up New Orleans’ second score. Simultaneously, running back Carson Steele lost possession twice, with one fumble being recovered by the Saints. Remarkably, despite these turnovers, Kansas City emerged victorious.

They performed exceptionally well defensively, leading to Derek Carr being sacked three times. Moreover, they effectively restrained Alvin Kamara, limiting him to 62 yards despite his having 19 attempts (14 runs and 5 receptions). Apart from a decent 18-yard rush in the first quarter, Kamara was almost unheard of throughout the game. The defense of the Chiefs registered six tackles resulting in negative yardage during this match.

Overall, that includes the NFL Week 5 Results according to Madden 25. We hope you our simulation series so far. Here’s to hoping for another exciting week in the NFL, as we slowly move towards the midseason mark.
