Aussie NFL wrap-up: How did Jordan Mailata, Jeremy Crawshaw and more perform in Week 5? image

It was a rough weekend or Australians in the NFL, with all but one player suffering defeat in the Week 5 slate of games.

Despite what went down on the scoreboard, there were still some performances Aussie fans can hang their hats on.

Here's how every Australian player performed in Week 5.

Aussie NFL Week 4 Wrap-up 

Jordan Mailata

In the Eagles' first loss of the 2025 season, Mailata struggled against the speed-rushers on the Broncos' defensive-line.

He was one of only two players on offence to play every snap, but had trouble containing Nik Bonitto who consistently pressured Jalen Hurts.

Philadelphia's offensive line as a unit was leaky, particularly in the second half, with the towering Aussie looking out of sorts on the left side.

Michael Dickson

It was a high-scoring affair at Lumen Field, with nine touchdowns scored between both teams.

As a result, Dickson didn't have much opportunity to show off his boot, having one attempt that went for 38 yards.

Daniel Faalele

Faalele recorded 43 snaps for the Ravens in their dismal 10-point outing on offence against the Texans in Week 5.

Houston's fearsome pass rush only got to Cooper Rush one time in his 21 drop backs which is a positive for Baltimore's line.

However, it was on the ground where Faalele and his teammates struggled to get anything going.

Star back Derrick Henry only managed 33 yards on 15 attempts, with a long of seven yards, limiting the Ravens' potency when they had the football in their hands.

Jeremy Crawshaw

Crawshaw was the lone victor of the Australian contingent in Week 5, as he punted his side to a 21-17 win over the Eagles.

The Penrith native had seven punts for 328 yards, pinning the reigning Super Bowl champions inside their own 20-yard-line on five occasions.
