          Week 5 of the NFL season brings another round of drama, memorable moments and plenty of conversation.

          From heated matchups to standout individual performances, the action on the field gave players and coaches plenty to talk about. Whether they were celebrating a big play, addressing a tough loss or taking a playful jab at an opponent, some of the week's most entertaining moments came from behind the microphone.

          With emotions running high and personalities on full display, here are the best quotes from around the NFL in Week 5.

          'They can't ice you!'

          Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence

          When the Philadelphia Eagles took a 17-16 lead with just eight seconds left, the game seemed to be over. But that was all the time Jacksonville needed: a clutch 53-yard kickoff return by Ameer Abdullah set the stage for Cam Little to drill a 57-yard field goal as time expired, lifting the Jaguars to a wild 19-17 win in London. The dramatic finish prompted Lawrence's postgame hype.

          'I lost us that game.'

          Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni

          On the other side of the Jaguars' dramatic win, Nick Sirianni took responsibility for his late-game decision-making. With less than 30 seconds remaining, the Eagles attempted passes on first and second down before running the ball on third down and then kicking the go-ahead field goal, leaving eight seconds on the clock for Jacksonville to mount its comeback. Sirianni explained that he didn't want Jalen Hurts to take a knee on those earlier plays, fearing the loss of yardage could push the Eagles out of field goal range.

          'A guy like that, you give him a chance'

          Minnesota Vikings QB Kyler Murray

          Justin Jefferson returned to the Vikings' lineup in his hometown of New Orleans on Sunday, hauling in a leaping touchdown catch in triple coverage against the Saints. Minnesota remained unbeaten with a 23-13 victory. Even with three defenders surrounding him, Jefferson found a way to come down with the ball. After the game, Murray offered a succinct assessment of the star receiver's ability to make seemingly impossible catches.
