1. Minnesota Vikings – 5-0 – The Vikings have shocked all of the NFL after loosing their quarterback and star running back. Sam Bradford has taking over and giving this team what they need to continue to win. It also helps when the defense gives up the fewest points per game in the NFL. In week five they remained perfect with a 31-13 victory over the Texans sending them into their bye week.

2. Atlanta Falcons – 4-1 – The Falcons have taken down the Superbowl contenders of last season in back to back week. Against the Panthers Matt Ryan aired out the ball with the help of Julio Jones’ 300 yard receiving game. Last week the Falcons used the run game to hand the Broncos their first loss on the season. The Falcons have a versatile offense and will look to continue to expose defense. We will find out if this team is for real this week when they come up against the Seattle Seahawks.

3. New England Patriots – 4-1- After suffering their first loss of the season in week four the Patriots welcomed back Tom Brady for their match up against the Cleveland Browns. Brady led the Patriots to a 33-13 victory looking like he hasn’t missed a beat. The Patriots looked like they were back to their old form but they were playing Cleveland. We will see if the Patriots can continue to dominate against the Cincinnati Bengals.

4. Denver Broncos – 4-1- The Denver Broncos suffered their first loss of the season last week against the Atlanta Falcons. Before the loss the Broncos were showing signs of being a better team then they were a year ago. Don’t mistake their loss as a sign the Bronco are in trouble. Trevor Siemian is questionable for Thursday nights game after sitting out last week due to an injury. Paxton Lynch started his first game last week suffering a 23-16 loss. This week the Broncos meet with their division rival the San Diego Chargers.
