Three key matchups to watch in NFL Week 5 games

Adam Gretz previews three pivotal individual battles ahead of NFL Week 5 action. He highlights the Pittsburgh Steelers' linebackers Peyton Wilson and Patrick Queen facing Indianapolis Colts playmakers Jonathan Taylor and Tyler Warren. Gretz also notes an NFC West showdown between Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba and San Francisco 49ers cornerback Deommodore Lenoir, where control of the division is at stake.

Additionally, Gretz argues the Las Vegas Raiders passing attack could capitalize on a depleted New England Patriots secondary missing cornerbacks Christian Gonzalez and Carlton Davis III. With New England typically stout against tight ends, Gretz suggests Raiders receiver Tre Tucker presents quarterback Kirk Cousins with prime opportunities for explosive plays on Sunday.
