Several former Florida Gators made key plays across the league in Week 5, from Alex Anzalone’s big defensive showing to Eddy Piñeiro’s perfect kicking performance. The former Florida linebacker came up with an interception and three pass breakups to help Detroit top Cincinnati, while Piñeiro drilled a season-long 59-yard field goal for San Francisco.

Elsewhere, Shemar James piled up 15 tackles for Dallas and punter Jeremy Crawshaw continued his strong start with five punts inside the 20-yard line.
