No changes this week in our top four teams in the NFL, but a few resurgent teams bounced back into the top 10, and one outlier. The Washington Commanders have won four straight games to slowly crawl from 28th to 6th in one month. We can’t deny Washington any longer, and they’ll have a chance to prove they belong this weekend against the Ravens. The Texans replace the Bills in our top five while two other NFC teams — Cowboys and Falcons — are finding ways to win.

Don’t blink. This league changes fast. Only five teams have one loss or less while every single team has claimed at least one victory. The gap between 3-2 (Ravens) and 2-3 (Dolphins) covers 22 spots in the middle of the league. Here’s how we see ‘em after five games:
