After a thrilling Week 5 of the NFL season, there were a few teams that fell flat on their face.
You see it every week, a heavily favored team comes out and gets beat.
That was once again the case this week.
Without further ado, here are the three teams who disappointed in Week 5.
Green Bay Packers
The heaviest favorite to lose this week was the Green Bay Packers.
They entered the game as nine-point favorites and shockingly lost to the Giants 27-22.
This game was played in London, and the Packers seemed unfazed by the travel in the first half.
But, the script flip in the second half when the Giants overcame a 10-point deficit for the victory.
This was a complete collapse by the Packers to lose this game.
Facing a Daniel Jones-led Giants team, there is no excuse for blowing a lead and losing.
The Green Bay offense did nothing in the entire second half.
Scoring zero points and failing to tie the game on a late drive in the fourth quarter.

Despite the Giants now improving to 4-1, there is a reason for the Packers being big favorites heading into this game.
This was a bad loss and a disappointing game for Green Bay.
Detroit Lions
The Lions entered their game on Sunday with a record of 1-3.
But, were the highest-scoring offense in the NFL.
Things went wrong for the Lions in Week 5.
For an offense averaging 35.0 points per game, they scored zero against the Patriots.
The Detroit Lions went 0-6 on 4th down in their 29-0 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.
That's the worst performance on 4th down by any team in a game over the last 45 seasons.

The Detroit defense has been bad all year and that was the case again allowing 29 points in the 29-0 loss.
The Patriots started rookie quarterback, Bailey Zappe, and still had a huge offensive day.
Detroit’s run defense was simply brutal.
They gave up 176 yards on the ground and allowed 5.0 yards per carry.
Despite the Lions’ losing record coming into Week 5, they were competitive in every game.
That was not the case on Sunday and this game was a setback.
After finishing as the second-worst team in the NFL last year, the Lions have some work to do to not end up there again.
Miami Dolphins
After starting the year 3-0, the Dolphins have now dropped two straight games.
Facing the New York Jets in Week 5, things could not have gone worse.
Not only did the Dolphins lose 40-17, but they lost their backup quarterback, Teddy Bridgewater for the whole game.
So now if Tua Tagovailoa and Bridgewater can not play next week the Dolphins will be on their third-string QB.
The usually stout Dolphins defense was shredded by a mediocre Jets offense.
They gave up 322 total yards and the aforementioned 40 points.
To make matters worse, star wide receiver Tyreek Hill was seen in a walking boot after the game.
If the Dolphins do not get healthy soon, they could be in serious trouble.
Say what crosses your mind, but the injury bug has bit the 3-2 Miami #Dolphins so far:
• QB Tua Tagovailoa.
• LT Terron Armstead.
• WR Tyreek Hill.
• CB Xavien Howard.
• CB Byron Jones.
Difficult to win when your star players are forced to miss football games.

This was a team with high expectations coming into the year, plus they have a win over the Buffalo Bills this season.
But without Tua, the offense looks lost, and hopefully, he will be healthy enough to play soon.
This week was not good for the Dolphins and they look for better fortune in Week 6.
