Danny Parkins picks his picks for Week 5, including the Chicago Bears, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Baltimore Ravens. Nick Wright, Chris Broussard, and Kevin Wildes join to preview the week, including asking if people should believe in Derrick May again.
When you know, you know, and Baltimore Ravens star Kyle Hamilton certainly did.
After the Ravens topped the Atlanta Falcons 30-23 in overtime Sunday, Hamilton was overjoyed to see Tua Tagovailoa come on. He knew he was going to finish the game.
"Kyle (looked across the field) and was like, 'You're in the game!'" Ravens star cornerback Marlon Humphrey recalled on a recent episode of "The Marlon Humphrey Show." was
He knew he had to choose. He was literally saying, "Oh, he'd better throw me one." "He was so excited, it was probably the most excited I've ever seen Kyle."
Humphrey said he didn't know if Hamilton knew something he didn't, but Hamilton was confident he would intercept. It was Hamilton's first interception of the season and the sixth of his career.
Tagovailoa came on late in the fourth quarter for Michael Penix Jr., who left after taking a vicious shot to the ribs. Penix returned for one play before overtime, but after the Ravens scored in overtime, it was the former Miami Dolphins star who led the Falcons' offense.

The turnover problem plagued Tagovailoa last season, as he had 15 turnovers in 14 games.
Falcons coach Kevin Stefanski said Penix is expected to start Wednesday in the team's game against the Chicago Bears on Sunday, in which case Tagovailoa will be relegated to backup duties.
The Falcons are hoping Penix can indeed return, as the offensive production has faltered without him in the lineup. With Penix and Tagovailoa injured to start the season and Cooper Rush at quarterback, the offense allowed just 16 points through the first two weeks of the season.
Once Penix returned to the lineup, the Falcons offense kicked into high gear. Against the Green Bay Packers and New Orleans Saints, they scored 80 points, the most in the NFL at the time.
What else does Penix provide, or rather take away? The excitement that opposing defenders feel about a potential tackle.
