One of the worst primetime games in recent memory was ended by one of the best defensive players in recent memory, that being Stephon Gilmore. While Gilmore may no longer be the premier corner in the NFL, he can still be as good as he ever was.
Hayden Hurst continued his strong season as he is becoming one of Joe Burrow's primary targets. Deebo Samuel returned home to the Carolinas. While Samuel didn't have one of his best games, he still found the end zone in front of his home crowd.
Week 5 also saw Nick Muse and Brandon Shell get activated from the Vikings and Dolphins practice squads. Fullback Adam Prentice was released prior to Saints Week 4 game in London. Prentice re-signed with the Saints practice squad last week.
