          NFL Week 5 arrivals: Ravens trio channels early 2000s style ahead of 'SNF'

          Week 5 of the NFL season is here, and October is starting to bring a little more variety to the forecast -- and potentially to pregame fashion.

          With fall temperatures settling into parts of the country and lingering heat beginning to ease elsewhere, players have another opportunity to switch up their game-day looks.

          California's early-October heat wave has weakened, while cooler conditions in the Northeast and a hurricane that brought heavy rain to parts of the South made for a mixed bag across the country this weekend. That leaves room for everything from lightweight fits to layered looks as players make their stadium entrances.

          Whether they're embracing the season with jackets and sweaters or sticking to their signature styles, NFL players are bringing another round of personality to the tunnel in Week 5.

          Monday night style

          Monday evenings in Los Angeles call for comfort wear, especially with temperatures in the mid-60s. Such was the case for the Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Rams. But comfort wear is where players and able to showcase their creativity and style. Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald did just that with a monochromatic matching set.

          Primetime fashion

          The Baltimore Ravens turned back the clock with some early 2000s-inspired fashion ahead of their Sunday Night Football matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. Cornerbacks Chandler Rivers and Keyon Martin joined safety Keondre Jackson in rocking backwards throwback basketball jerseys, oversized shorts and nostalgic accessories. Rivers led the way in a blue Derrick Rose Memphis Tigers jersey, baggy denim shorts and wheat Timberland boots, while Martin sported Penny Hardaway's pinstriped Orlando Magic jersey and Jackson repped Carmelo Anthony and the New York Knicks. The coordinated looks brought a dose of Y2K nostalgia to the Ravens' arrival in Atlanta.

          Sunday's best

          Throwback jerseys honoring New England sports legends were a theme ahead of Sunday's matchup between the Las Vegas Raiders and New England Patriots. Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby arrived in a Larry Bird jersey, while Patriots safety Craig Woodson sported a Ty Law jersey as New England prepared to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its Super Bowl XXXVI championship.

          Thursday night drip

          Dallas Cowboys teammates Cooper Beebe and Brevyn Spann-Ford showed some love to the Dallas Stars ahead of "Thursday Night Football." Beebe arrived in a Jake Oettinger jersey, while Spann-Ford repped Stars legend Mike Modano.
