    NFL Week 5

    Saturday, October 7, 2006, 12:54 PM EST [NFL]

    It turns out that there's more going on in the NFL during Week 5 than T.O.'s much-ballyhooed return to Philly.

    Let's break it down ...

    - Can the Steelers finally get on track? It'll be tough, as the defending Super Bowl champs visit San Diego, which lost a heartbreaker to the Ravens last week. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who is 0-2 as a starter this season, was 27-4 as a starting quarterback entering this season.

    - Dick Jauron, the former Bears head coach, returns to Chicago when he brings his Bills into Soldier Field to meet the undefeated Bears.

    - Bruce Gradkowski and Matt Leinart will both make their first NFL starts as the Buccaneers visit the Saints (on FOX) and the Cardinals host the Chiefs.

    - Vince Young makes his second career NFL start against the Colts, who have dominated the Titans-Colts series of late, winning the last six meetings in the series by an average score of 35-15.

    - The Redskins offense has come to life in recent weeks - racking up 495 yards and 31 points two weeks ago in Houston and 481 yards and 36 points last week against Jacksonville - and look to do much of the same against the Giants (on FOX), who have allowed the second-most points and fourth-most passing yards in the NFL.

    - Oh, yeah, then there's that game in Philadelphia (on FOX), where Terrell Owens should get a not-exactly-warm welcome from the Eagles faithful at Lincoln Financial Field.

    Check back Sunday for regular game updates all day long.
