Overview

• Detroit claims the top spot after four straight wins by an average of 19 points and a franchise-best 174 points through five games, with a visit to Arrowhead next.
• Buffalo holds No. 2 following a loss marked by three giveaways, their first game losing the turnover battle since the 2023 regular-season finale.
• Philadelphia slips to No. 3 as concerns grow over limited Saquon Barkley touches and ongoing issues around A.J. Brown.
• Tampa Bay lands at No. 4 with a 20-game streak of scoring at least 20 points and a 38-35 win in Seattle that adds to Baker Mayfield’s early MVP buzz.
• Jacksonville climbs to No. 6 at 4-1 after snapping a Chiefs run of closing out 14-point leads, as San Francisco sits as the NFC’s top seed despite injuries and Indianapolis touts a league-best +74 point differential.
