Top 10 Worst Performers from Week 5 of the NFL 2019 Regular Season
-
Luke Falk
The Jets were bad all around, and it starts with the backup quarterback who just had virtually no chance. The fact that history has you falling to a team you can't even beat is just the irony to top it all in a very all is lost season.
We can't all be Tom Brady.
-
Cairo Santos
He missed all 4 crucial kicks that could've been a winner. Instead, Mike Vrabel trusted him too much, which led to the loss at home.
-
Adrian Peterson
Adrian Lewis Peterson is a former American football running back who played primarily for the Minnesota Vikings in the National Football League. He later joined several other teams, including the Washington Redskins. Peterson won the NFL MVP Award in 2012 after rushing for 2,097 yards that season.
Picking Colt McCoy would've been too easy to call. Ultimately, the big loser of the game is Jay Gruden, but in terms of a player, Adrian Peterson.
He has no offensive line to run against, and the offense in general feels lifeless and clueless. Thus, they forgot about the aging wonder who ran 1,000 yards quietly last season.
-
Nate Solder
Since getting paid big money to be at the left tackle position, Nate Solder has been quite the Giant bust of a free agent. With the likes of Hunter and Griffen getting into the face of Sir Daniel, it kind of set the tone for where this game would end: a pretty quick and swift loss.
-
La'el Collins
Coming into the game, the Cowboys did not have Tyron Smith. During the game, they lost the right tackle, La'el, really putting major pressure on Dak Prescott. This led to him making bad turnovers and ultimately led to another Dallas loss.
-
Devin White
The 5th overall pick from this year's draft was present in the game. Yet Arians decided to come clean about why he had little play time and said, he wasn't fit for the heavy workload up the middle.
This would lead to Teddy's big day, really eating up that passing defense of the Bucs while missing one of their leaders on the field.
-
Melvin Gordon
Melvin Gordon III is a former American football running back. He began his NFL career with the San Diego Chargers in 2015 and later played for the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs. In 2023, he signed with the Baltimore Ravens.
In the official return game back, Melvin Gordon was very quiet and was somewhat surprisingly wrapped up even with the limited role given. They could've used more of him since Ekeler could not do much better, which begs the question of whether the Chargers can leapfrog to the end with injuries stacked against them.

Ricardo Allen
-
Travis Kelce
Travis Michael Kelce is an American football tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League. He has played for the Chiefs since being drafted in 2013. Kelce is considered one of the top tight ends in NFL history and has been selected to multiple Pro Bowls.
Yelling at his offensive coordinator ended up being the biggest mistake made. Bieniemy probably could not keep composure. Despite the hug and forgiveness, you still fell to the Colts. Teams are starting to figure out your offense.
Plus, Kelce has been dropping the ball a lot more this season than usual.
-
Khalil Mack
Khalil Mack is an American football outside linebacker for the Los Angeles Chargers. He entered the NFL as the fifth overall pick in the 2014 draft and has earned multiple Pro Bowl and All-Pro selections. In March 2026, he re-signed with the Chargers on a one-year, $18 million deal.
Well. Didn't see this coming. Mack loses to Jon Gruden and company. Despite playing the same, he got no sacks on Carr and ends up falling to the other 1st round pick outta Bama.
You mean Carr escaped with a win. Wow.
