In the win, Aaron Rodgers went 23-for-33 for 261 passing yards and two interceptions, while San Francisco quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo finished 25-for-40 with 257 passing yards, two touchdowns and one interception.

In Week 5, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen outdueled Kansas City Chiefs signal-caller Patrick Mahomes at Arrowhead Stadium in a 38-20 decision. In the contest, Allen went 15-for-26 for 315 passing yards, three passing touchdowns and rushed 11 times for 59 yards and a score, while Mahomes finished 33-for-54 for 272 passing yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions while adding eight carries for 61 yards as well.
