Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson hauls in a touchdown pass, helping them start the 2024 NFL season 4-0

The Kansas City Chiefs remain atop the NFL Power Rankings for the fifth straight week. However, the No. 2 team from the Week 4 NFL Power Rankings slid down the charts. The Buffalo Bills lost their first game of the season and dropped six spots to No. 8. Kansas City has company at 4-0, with the Minnesota Vikings remaining perfect in 2024 as well. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the Jacksonville Jaguars are the NFL’s lone 0-4 team.



The Falcons, Buccaneers, and Commanders were the biggest movers up this week’s rankings. The Dolphins, Jets, Rams, and Chargers were among those who fell the furthest.
