From Vegas to Week 5: Touchdowns, Ties, and Tyreek Hill

Written By Laura LaVoie

We’re back from Vegas and still recovering, in the best way possible. What started as a girls’ trip quickly turned into a full-on celebration (yes, there was a birthday involved, finally a true “Forty-Niner” moment for Dezi). We had big plans for shooting shorts, making videos, and recording extras, but let’s be real… when you’re having that much fun, production takes a back seat. Sleep, too, apparently.

But once we got home, it was time to dive back into the NFL action. Week 5 did not disappoint.

Vegas Energy Meets Week 5 Football

Fresh off the Strip, we were buzzing as we broke down the highs and lows of the week. Between overtime thrillers and head-scratching ties, the league served up chaos; exactly how we like it.

And then came the gut-punch: Tyreek Hill’s injury. A moment that made all of us pause. Love him or hate him, seeing a star go down is never easy. We unpacked what that means for the Dolphins and the AFC race moving forward.

Highlights That Had Us Talking

  • Overtime Drama – Because what’s better than four quarters? More football. Even if it ends in a tie.

  • Surprise Wins and Tough Losses – Week 5 reminded us that no team is safe.

  • Fashion and Fits – You know we can’t skip this part. Some looks are game-day winners, others… not so much.

Closing Thoughts

Between celebrating in Vegas and analyzing Week 5, this episode gave us everything: laughs, football chaos, and even a little heartbreak for injured stars. If this week is any preview, the season’s about to get wild.

So grab your drink of choice, whether it’s a cocktail or mocktail, and catch the full episode. We promise you’ll feel like you were right there with us.
