Sunday storylines to follow in Week 5

With 12 games on the slate Sunday in Week 5, there are plenty of narratives to follow across the league, and even more from team to team.

Here are this weekend's five most compelling storylines:

Browns see product of 1-15 season

It's finally time to see what all the fuss is about, with Myles Garrett set to make his NFL debut.

The Browns suffered long and hard last season to secure the right to draft Garrett first overall in hopes that he'd transform the defense into a fearsome unit.

Garrett hopes to score at least one sack, which he refers to as "a fat guy's touchdown," against the Jets, who have had their quarterback brought down behind the line 12 times this season.

0-4 no more

At least one of the four teams sitting 0-4 will almost certainly get a win this weekend, and, at most, three can turn their fortunes.

Unless the Giants and Chargers tie Sunday, one of them will walk out of MetLife Stadium with a victory. The Browns will host the Jets, who are astoundingly 2-2, while the 49ers will travel to Indianapolis to face Jacoby Brissett and the one-win Colts.

None of these are expected to be good games, but at least there will be opportunities to climb out of the league's basement.

Cowboys get shot at playoff revenge

Along with the games featuring a trio of teams hoping to be taken seriously after this weekend, Packers-Cowboys looks to be one of Week 5's must-watches. The Cowboys and Packers provided the only exciting game of the 2016 playoffs other than Super Bowl LI, and now it's time for the rematch.

Green Bay's offense has been struck by injuries all season, but Aaron Rodgers has shown he can make up the difference. The Cowboys have had their own stumbles this season, but are coming off back-to-back games with at least 28 points.

All eyes (and ears) on Cam

If you're one of the seven NFL fans who hasn't heard, Cam Newton was in some hot water this week after laughing at a female football reporter who asked him about football - specifically routes.

You can bet that every missed completion by Newton against the Lions will be accompanied by a thousand tweets rhetorically asking him: "Do you know what that route is called?"

How Newton responds in the game and after it following a week when everyone has been questioning his character and leadership will be a telling test for the former MVP.

Who needs franchise QBs?

The Titans and Raiders, that's who.

Marcus Mariota is expected to be a game-time decision for Tennessee's afternoon game against the Miami Dolphins. While the Fins have played some pretty poor football, the Titans' offense was useless against the Texans last week after Mariota was injured.

Whether the former second overall pick can play after a week of limited practices will have a major impact on the result of the game and its watchability. Matt Cassel and Brandon Weeden don't exactly scream "exciting football."

For the Raiders, Derek Carr will be on the sidelines against the Ravens in Oakland, watching as EJ Manuel leads his offense. The Raiders' offense has yet to hit its stride this season. Manuel held his own against the Broncos' stout defense last week, but Baltimore's turnover-creating unit won't be a pushover.
