Week 5 NFL scores, live updates: Fernando Mendoza makes regular-season debut, relieving Kirk Cousins in blowout vs. Patriots

Yahoo Sports Staff Updated Sun, October 11, 2026 at 8:10 PM UTC About Our Ads Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement We've got another action-packed NFL game slate for Week 5, albeit a slate short of two teams — the Kansas City Chiefs and Carolina Panthers, which are both on bye.

The Los Angeles Chargers enter Week 5 in a bit of a pickle, still seeking their first win of the season but down a number of weapons on offense. Starting wide receiver Ladd McConkey (foot) is active but expected to play limited snaps, while teammate Quentin Johnston is out with a chest injury. Both of LA's starting offensive tackles are also out for this contest, after Rashawn Slater was placed on IR and Joe Alt was ruled out with a neck injury. Can they overcome these injuries to notch their first win against the Broncos?

The Cardinals will be without WR Marvin Harrison Jr. on Sunday, although not due to injury, reportedly informing him that he'd sit out for Week 5 while they attempt to finalize a trade , moving on from the former No. 4 overall pick. It has been reported that the Texans are one team involved in potential trade talks.

Follow along with Yahoo Sports for live updates, highlights and more from Week 5's Sunday game slate.

This game is underway, and the Broncos will begin with possession.

The Packers cruised to a 31-7 victory as the Bears' offensive momentum ran out. Green Bay moves to 3-2, while Chicago drops to 3-2.

Jordan Love finished with 367 yards and two touchdowns. Christian Watson and Matthew Golden each finished with more than 100 receiving yards.

No position player, running back or receiver, had more than 47 yards in the loss for Chicago. As a team, the Bears had five turnovers.

Chicago benched Tyson Bagent to try to spark some momentum. Case Keenum's three drives have ended in a turnover so far.

This one was due to his own fumble after a sack.

While things are going well for Green Bay, one player having an off day is Trey Smack. The kicker had missed an extra point and then missed a 47-yard field goal with 5:25 left in the game.

After the Patriots' latest touchdown, the Raiders opted to go with rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza.

The No. 1 overall pick completed his first pass. It went two yards to running back Dylan Laube.

Cleveland just needed to run the clock out. The Browns couldn't get a first down and were set to punt.

The long snapper sent the snap wide and the Jets chased it down. Running back Braelon Allen then walked a touchdown in as New York is now up 17-12 with 3:01 left.

Drake Maye hit DeMario Douglas for a score in the fourth quarter. It was Douglas' second TD of the day, and Maye's 5th overall.

Jameis Winston hit tight end Isaiah Likely for his second TD of the day. But right as he got to the goal line, the tight end fumbled the ball. Review showed that he crossed the plane of the goal line before fumbling.

Seahawks RB Emanuel Wilson is in line for his second start this season in Week 5 after Seattle placed first-round rookie Jadarian Price on injured reserve.

He didn't have the most efficient outing in Week 4, averaging just 3.9 yards per carry, but tallied 120 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns, leading the team with 21 carries last week against the Chargers. George Holani also handled some work, totaling just 18 rushing yards on seven carries.

Jets QB Geno Smith was scrambling to his left. A Cleveland defender shoved him for the sack and Smith lost the ball in the process.

The Browns get the ball back with 4:13 remaining up two points.

The Browns have come back against the Jets. Cleveland quarterback Deshaun Watson lobbed a ball to the end zone and Denzel Boston managed to come down with it.

The bigger story may be that Cleveland missed the extra point so the Browns only have a three-point lead over the Jets.

49ers DL Mykel Williams is set to make his season debut in Week 5, officially active against the Seahawks as he makes his return from a season-ending knee injury last season.

Williams, the 49ers' 2025 first-round pick, suffered a torn ACL in Week 9 and started the 2026 season on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list and was activated this week.

Williams had 1 sack, 20 tackles, 4 tackles for loss and a fumble recovery over nine starts as a rookie prior to his injury.

The Bears were facing fourth down and Case Keenum threw short to Rome Odunze. He caught the pass and had the first down, but was fighting for more yards when he fumbled. It was recovered by Green Bay.

Time is running out fast for Chicago in this one.

Jayden Daniels doing his best to prove that he is fully healthy for Washington. The quarterback already had a 38-yard rushing touchdown, and added a 26-yard score in the fourth quarter.

Aaron Rodgers found Pat Freiermuth for a 17-yard touchdown.

The Steelers now lead 31-21 with 6:35 remaining in the game.

Giants tight end Isaiah Likely scored New York's first TD of the game against Washington. Likely caught a 3-yard pass from Jameis Winston for the score.

Washington leads 19-13 in the fourth quarter.

Nothing is working for Chicago against Green Bay. Backup quarterback Case Keenum was getting the offense down the field. Given the game situation, the Bears needed a touchdown so went for it on fourth and long.

Unfortunately, Keenum threw an interception in the end zone.

This is expected to be the last game that Chicago may play without Caleb Williams, who is recovering from a hamstring injury.

Tyson Bagent has been great this season in relief, but the Packers have him figured out, and he has not been able to sustain drives.

Down 31-7 early in the fourth quarter, head coach Ben Johnson has benched Bagent, and Case Keenum is on in relief.

Keenum's first play was a 23-yard pass to Luther Burden.

Joe Burrow has his fourth TD pass of the game. He hit Ja'Marr Chase for the 45-yard score. Chase caught the pass after it hit him in the shoulder, but he managed to maintain it to the ground.

The Packers had no rushing TD's entering this week, and running back MarShawn Lloyd has now found the end zone twice.

Green Bay was able to capitalize on an interception by Tyson Bagent and made sure to turn it into points.

The Packers now lead 31-7 after the two-point conversion.
