It was a rough weekend\u00a0or Australians in the NFL, with all but one player suffering defeat in the Week 5 slate of games.<\/p>\n
Despite what went down on the scoreboard, there were still some performances Aussie fans can hang their hats on.<\/p>\n
Here’s how every Australian player performed in Week 5.<\/p>\n
Aussie NFL Week 4 Wrap-up\u00a0Jordan Mailata<\/p>\n
In the Eagles’ first loss of the 2025 season, Mailata struggled against the speed-rushers on the Broncos’ defensive-line.<\/p>\n
He was one of only two players on offence to play every snap, but had trouble containing Nik Bonitto who consistently pressured Jalen Hurts.<\/p>\n
Three of Nik Bonitto’s 5 pressures came against Jordan Mailata, good for a 16.7% pressure rate in their head-to-head matchups in Week 5<\/p>\n
The #Broncos<\/a> stud is so good at converting speed to power.
