News and Notes for Week 5 in the NFL: Injuries and Upsets were the talk of the NFL after week 4. Will order be restored in week 5? The Pats look to get back on track when they face the 49ers. The Eagles and Redskins square off in a strong NFC East match-up. The Rams fired Head Coach Scott Linehan and replaced him with Jim Haslett. In another non-surprise move, the Raiders got rid of Head Coach Lane Kiffin and gave the job to Tom Cable. Both teams have a Bye this week, so we'll have to wait a week to see how the coaches fare in their 2008 debuts.
