Week 5 takeaways in the NFL: Steelers, Vikings pick up season-changing wins

The Steelers and Vikings pulled off important wins, the Chiefs' offense powered them by the Jaguars, the Packers booted away multiple opportunities and the Panthers slipped past the Giants on a 63-yard field goal.

All that and more in Week 5's biggest takeaways from NFL Nation.

The defense isn't necessarily a lost cause, after all. The Chiefs can head into the next two games against high-scoring opponents (New England and Cincinnati) and not feel like they have to score on almost every possession to win. The Jaguars had more than 500 yards on Sunday but don't be fooled.
