Now that one-third of the professional football schedule gone, teams are demonstrating their actual capabilities

Tampa Bay and Indianapolis emerged as the first franchises to reach five wins as they maintained their impressive starts to the season

The Seahawks and New England Patriots are developing as challengers, while the Pittsburgh Steelers are appearing established in the AFC North

The season appears over now for a major preseason championship favourites the Ravens, but might only be beginning for The Chiefs

Baker Mayfield Receives MVP Chants

Would Baker Mayfield a Most Valuable Player contender? That is exactly what Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans were shouting after one more dynamic display from their field general in a successful outcome versus the San Francisco 49ers

The 30-year-old is the key cause the Buccaneers are with five wins and he commanded with authority another time, passing a pair of TDs and executing every crucial play - incorporating an incredible crucial situation rush when he barged by tackler after tackler to secure a vital new set of downs

He possesses a ability that isn't coachable or trained

The quarterback's crucial plays had led to each of the four earlier victories happening in the last minute - the more decisive manner during the weekend just strengthened his growing MVP credentials

Indianapolis's signal-caller is a comparable comeback narrative in with the Colts after the Indianapolis beat the Arizona to go to five and one - their top opening since nine years ago

Running back Taylor is the other star of the Colts' surprise opening, but Daniel Jones creates important actions at the appropriate moment - achieving a pair of passing TDs and a single ground during the weekend

Certainly About It - the Pats Are Back

Occupying the position of a Patriots signal-caller involves a unique expectation due to the legendary quarterback, but with Drake Maye they could finally have their future team leader

In just his sophomore year, Maye seems poised in the pocket and is fearless to air the pigskin out - throwing scores of multiple lengths and witnessing a long completion disallowed by a infraction in Sunday's win at the The Saints

He becomes the fourth QB younger than 24 to produce five in a row contests with over 200 aerial distance and a efficiency rating of 100 and above

The last two including a national television victory in versus Buffalo followed by, in the intense noise of the New Orleans stadium, show the reason New England fans are becoming excited that - under fresh leader Mike Vrabel - they may be a force once more

The Seahawks joined the The Pats on 4-2 as they secured their ninth consecutive road match - an impressive 20-12 win at the Jacksonville Jaguars

Darnold is showing the previous season's comeback in Minnesota was genuine and he possesses a premier pass catchers in the game in Smith-Njigba, who caught eight grabs for substantial yardage and a touchdown in the Sunshine State

Pittsburgh's Postseason Opportunity Becomes Clear

The Steelers moved to 4-1 with a 22nd consecutive consecutive at home victory versus the The Browns in the NFL season - and they appear to have an favorable opportunity to the postseason currently in a less competitive division

Normally one of the toughest divisions in football but the quarterback's 4-1 The Steelers appear in total command, with their opponents everyone declining

The Browns have merely one success and a constantly complicated signal-caller scenario, while The Ravens seem completed following a 17-3 at home setback by Los Angeles lowered them to one win

Just four franchises in NFL history have reached the postseason after a one and five opening and, while Jackson leading an all-star injury list, Baltimore is unlikely to be adding to that record

Cincinnati fell 18-27 in against the Packers to decline to 2-4, with forty-year-old Flacco not exactly a direct substitute for {Joe Burrow|Burrow|
