There may be nothing that can stop Patrick Mahomes after the Chiefs kept rolling despite significant injury losses to their skill position groups. Help has come from the unlikeliest places, with Kareem Hunt and JuJu Smith-Schuster turning back the clock and looking like their peak versions.
The lone NFC club with a spotless record is the 5-0 Vikings. Minnesota's defense stepped up in the clutch to keep their perfect record intact. Sam Darnold and Aaron Jones are among the stars who should benefit with the team idle this week.
The Lions will attempt to pick up where they left off after a bye week. Following a perfect game nearly two weeks ago, Jared Goff will lead a Detroit offense that is posting 397 yards per game (third in the NFL) through four outings. Aidan Hutchinson is on pace to eclipse his career-best sack total, entering the weekend with 6.5.
Remember when the Ravens were 0-2? We don't. Winners of three in a row, Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry and Co. are starting to fire on all cylinders.

Revenge is a dish best served cold, and Stefon Diggs did his part in handing his former team, the Bills, a crushing loss on Sunday. Diggs' 82 receiving yards were the most of any player in the Week 5 meeting and were instrumental in moving the Texans to 4-1.
While injuries to key starters threaten to derail a promising campaign, Green Bay is maintaining its composure. Tucker Kraft is emerging as a promising weapon in the passing game, and Xavier McKinney is making his case to be an All-Pro after extending his interception streak to five games.
Kirk Cousins' heroic performance against the Buccaneers, in which he threw for a franchise-record 509 passing yards, cemented his icon status. Meanwhile, other new additions, such as Justin Simmons and Matt Judon, are helping Atlanta live up to the preseason hype as it tries to win the NFC South.
Jayden Daniels continues to spur a revamped Commanders unit. Washington is second in the league with 31 points per contest and is averaging 178.4 rushing yards per game during its four-game win streak.
For a second straight week, it appeared the Bills were on course for a blowout loss. They made it close in Sunday's game against Houston, but Buffalo still fell short and desperately needs more receiving talent.

The Niners are struggling to close out games. Losing the kicker doesn't help San Francisco's cause, but neither do the eight turnovers committed by the offense.
The Bucs are coming off a disappointing loss to a NFC South rival following a high-scoring and entertaining affair. Todd Bowles needs to figure how to cure his ailing defense after it surrendered over 350 total yards in each of the club's two losses.
The Cowboys' running game remains a work in progress, but there was a glimmer of hope from Rico Dowdle in their win against the Steelers. The big concern is the growing list of injured pass-rushers with Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence still on the mend.
There's optimism that some extra rest will benefit key starters, such as AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith. A fully healthy unit should help Jalen Hurts and the passing game.
Following a pair of disastrous outings against the Lions and Giants, it's fair to wonder if the Seahawks are putting too much on Geno Smith's plate. Seattle's run defense is on the ropes after allowing 5.7 yards per carry to the Giants at home.

The Saints were once the talk of the league after rattling off 91 combined points in their first two outings. Since then, their offensive production has dipped amid a rash of injuries along the offensive line, and they're again scrambling to plug holes.
