Week 4 of the NFL season is now wrapped up (with the exception of an NFC South Monday Night game) and there's been a ton to react to. The land of the unbeaten is now down to just two teams as the Buffalo Bills couldn't escape their contest against the reigning AFC East champion Patriots unscathed. The Bills had looked like the NFL's best team in three weeks mainly because Josh Allen looked like the best QB in the land, but New England had the elixir on Sunday.
That leaves just the Chiefs, who escaped a previously unbeated Las Vegas Raiders' den, the Minnesota Vikings and the San Francisco 49ers as the lone teams without a loss entering Week 5. Which one deserves the title of the NFL's top team? On the opposite end of the spectrum, five teams remain
winless through four contests. Another three teams only have one win (becoming four as long as MNF doesn't end in a tie), which leaves a large contingent of 2-2 and 3-1 teams looking to be convincing.
How do they all stack up? Here's our Week 5 Power Rankings, pending the results of Monday's action.
