Score Update: Week 5

The fourth-highest scoring game since 1940 in the NFL (Denver 51 - Dallas 48) aided this week to average 49 points a game for Week 5.

Highest per-game average since Week 1 of last year.

6 more games this week decided by a score or less.  Cliffhanger Index:  3.

(Would've been 7 and 4 if the Chargers weren't beyond redemption at this point.)

Total is 40 out of the 77 games this year decided by one score or less.

The total Cliffhanger Index for the year is now 18.

18 of the 77 games have been decided by a score in the final two minutes or in overtime.

Monday night could've counted for two:  Atlanta's lead-changing score to 28-27 ALSO came within the two-minute warning.
