The Eagles and 49ers are the clear front-runners in the NFC while the AFC is jumbled five weeks into the season. San Francisco made the biggest statement so far with a dominant 42-10 win over Dallas on Sunday night. The 49ers have been the NFL’s most complete team. They can win behind Brock Purdy’s passing, Christian McCaffrey’s running or by leaning on Nick Bosa and a stingy defense. The defending NFC champion Eagles are still building their identity, but keep finding ways to win despite playin

Similar to San Francisco, the Eagles beat teams multiple ways. They can do it in the air with Jalen Hurts throwing to A.J. Brown or other playmakers or on the ground behind Hurts, D’Andre Swift and a powerful offensive line. The AFC still goes through the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs . Kansas City only has had one dominant win. The Bills went from dropping 48 points in a statement win over Miami to losing to the Jaguars in London.
Minnesota has already equaled its loss total from last season and now faces four games without All-Pro wide receiver Justin Jefferson.
