### NFL Recap: Key Developments and Highlights

#### Robert Saleh Fired by the New York Jets
In a surprising move, the New York Jets have fired head coach Robert Saleh after a 2-3 start to the 2024 season. This decision came shortly after the Jets returned from London, where they lost to the Minnesota Vikings.

Saleh's firing has sparked speculation about the influence of quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who joined the Jets this season. While Jets owner Woody Johnson denied that Rodgers was involved in the decision, there were reports suggesting tension between Saleh and Rodgers, particularly over the role of offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett. Hackett, a close confidant of Rodgers, was reportedly set to be demoted or fired by Saleh before the coach himself was let go.

Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich has taken over as the interim head coach of the Jets.

#### Jared Goff's Historic Performance
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff made history on Monday night by completing all 18 of his passes in a 42-29 win over the Seattle Seahawks. This perfect game set a new NFL record for most consecutive completions in a single game, surpassing Kurt Warner's 10-for-10 performance in 2005. Goff threw for 292 yards and two touchdowns in the game.

#### NFL Power Rankings
After Week 5 of the 2024 NFL season, the Kansas City Chiefs and Minnesota Vikings top the power rankings with 5-0 records. The Chiefs, despite not playing to their usual standards, have managed to grind out wins, while the Vikings have found success with quarterback Sam Darnold, who has performed well despite initial expectations that J.J. McCarthy would take over.

#### Upcoming NFL International Games
The NFL continues its international schedule with several games in London. On October 13, the Jacksonville Jaguars will face the Chicago Bears at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, followed by the New England Patriots vs. the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium on October 20. Another international game is scheduled for November 10, with the New York Giants facing the Carolina Panthers at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany.

#### Other Notable Performances
- The Houston Texans are making a strong case in their division, with quarterback C.J. Stroud performing well, despite losing receiver Nico Collins to a hamstring injury.
- The Baltimore Ravens, led by Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson, have improved their record and are competitive in their division.
- The Atlanta Falcons, despite a lack of pass rush, remain competitive, thanks in part to quarterback Kirk Cousins' improving health and performance.

These developments highlight the dynamic and unpredictable nature of the NFL season, with teams and players continually making significant impacts on the league.
