Knights in the NFL: Week 5

by Ava Jessum

ORLANDO - Week five rocked the NFL, with exciting upsets and shocking performances throughout the league. Several Knights distinguished themselves with standout performances for their respective teams.

Rookie RJ Harvey saw action in the Broncos thrilling match up against the Eagles. Harvey totaled 30 yards within the game, split between four carries and three receptions. The running backs' performance aided the Broncos in their upset win over Philadelphia which put an end to the Eagles undefeated season, 21-17. To date, Harvey has recorded 150 yards and his first career touchdown in the regular season. 

It was another strong week for Bills kicker Matt Prater. The 41 year old put the Bills first points of the game on the board, kicking a 31-yard field goal in the second quarter. In the second half Prater made his way on the field once again to kick a 45-yard field goal to tie the game 20-20. However, his efforts wouldn’t be enough as the Patriots made a field goal to make the final score 23-20. The loss marked the Bills first of the season, and broke Buffalo’s home winning streak. Prater went 2/2 on field goals and 2/2 on extra points, racking up a total of eight points for the Bills. So far this season Prater has a 90.9% completion rate on field goals, going 10/11.

Defensive tackle Kalia Davis recorded a tackle in the 49ers win against the Rams. San Francisco brought home the win in overtime, 26-23. Davis has had a steady performance throughout the 2025 season so far, putting up six tackles so far (three solo and three assisted).
