I was hoping "da Bears" would somehow win but Trubisky threw an interception late in the fourth quarter... & you know the rest. Bears are now 1-4.
Similarly, after losing to the Eagles, now the Cardinals also have a losing record (2-3). But unlike the Vikings vs Bears game, the final score (07 to 34) against the Eagles was one of the most lopsided losses of the week (the other being the Jaguars beating the Steelers 30 to 09). The Cards' offensive line "suffering" from the same issues as in previous games:

"Carson Palmer may have not have been sacked six times for a third straight game, but the issues plaguing the Arizona Cardinals’ offensive line still were evident on Sunday: allowing too much pressure and not being able to establish a run game."
Nevertheless, according to ESPN, there's hope for next week's game against the (2-2) Tampa Bay Buccaneers:
"But there’s hope for the Cardinals’ offensive line and it comes in a pair of 300-pound linemen.
High-profile protester Mike Pence's early exit was due to him protesting the NFL players's protests:
Arians expects to have both right tackle D.J. Humphries and right guardAlex Boone back next week. Both were inactive Sunday in Philadelphia."
We'll see.
In other NFL news, the big (politics & sports) story of week 5 was VP Pence exiting Lucas Oil stadium before the Colts vs 49ers game started.

But apparently, it was just a tax-payer funded political stunt by Trump to keep his name in the news attached to the NFL. The president is doing this, probably (among many other things) to distract from his feud with fellow republican Bob Corker (the influential chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee) who said Trump is on his way to starting World War III & basically called the Donald a child:
But (in much much less apocalyptic news), back to the NFL; the other notable close game was Rodgers and the Packers beating the Cowboys 35 to 31 with 11 seconds left:
