The NFL provides an unpredictable landscape, and that's part of the allure of the sport. We can never be exactly sure of what to expect from week to week and game to game. Yet, we're still quick to jump on overreactions and premature hot takes.

Naturally, the Patriots dominated, Big Ben and Brown played pitch-and-catch and Bortles played like trash in Week 5.
