NFL Rankings: Vikings remain undefeated in Week 5

Week 5 of the NFL season continues with a series of games in which the Minnesota Vikings have already continued their winning streak on Sunday morning.

The Vikings became the first 5-0 team of the season after traveling to London to defeat quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets 23-17.

The Kansas City Chiefs will also have a chance to start the season 5-0 when they play the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football.

The Atlanta Falcons defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday to pick up their second straight NFC South win in as many weeks.

Quarterback Trevor Lawrence threw for 371 yards and two touchdowns in the Jacksonville Jaguars’ 37-34 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. It was Jacksonville’s first win of the season.

The Carolina Panthers lost their fourth game of the season after winning their first last week. During their game against the Chicago Bears, a fight broke out involving several players ejected after a late touchdown was scored.

Despite a great game from quarterback Joe Burrow and receiver Ja’Marr Chase, the Cincinnati Bengals also suffered their fourth loss of the season in overtime against the Baltimore Ravens.

The Detroit Lions, Los Angeles Chargers, Tennessee Titans and Philadelphia Eagles all had a bye week.
