Last Thursday, we ranked the watchability of every game on the Week 5 slate. Today, we look back and re-rank the games based on what actually went down. At season's end, we'll tally up the pre- and post-game rankings from throughout the year to determine the league's most and least watchable squads -- and the 30 teams in between.

Minnesota 30, New Orleans 27 [RECAP]

Pre-Ranking: 6
Post-Ranking: 1

Comment: The NFL definitely saved the best for last with this exciting Monday nighter. This game had it all: punt return TDs, FG blocks returned for TDs, de-cleating hits, stifling defense (just ask Adrian Peterson) and last-minute drama.

Indianapolis 31, Houston 27 [RECAP]

Pre-Ranking: 9
Post-Ranking: 2

Comment: It's admittedly hard to watch the Colts offense these days, but that frenetic final four minutes more than made up for it.

Tennessee 13, Baltimore 10 [RECAP]

Pre-Ranking: 1
Post-Ranking: 3

Comment: Loved this game from the get-go and it lived up to expectations. Sure, the offenses left a little to be desired, but the physicality of the defenses and the post-whistle scraps were fun to watch.

Atlanta 27, Green Bay 24 [RECAP]

Pre-Ranking: 8
Post-Ranking: 4

Comment: Surprises are always watchable and the Falcons walking into Lambeau and leaving with a win will rank among the biggest all season.

Post-Ranking: 5

Pittsburgh 26, Jacksonville 21 [RECAP]

Denver 16, Tampa Bay 13 [RECAP]

Pre-Ranking: 2
Post-Ranking: 8
