Now that one-third of the NFL campaign finished, clubs are demonstrating their actual capabilities

The Buccaneers and Indianapolis became the first teams to attain five victories as they maintained their notable openings to the season

The Seattle Seahawks and The Patriots are emerging as challengers, while Pittsburgh are looking settled in the Northern division

The season appears finished already for an important preseason title game favorites the Ravens, but could only be beginning for the Kansas City Chiefs

Baker Mayfield Earns Most Valuable Player Calls

Could Baker Mayfield a Most Valuable Player contender? That is exactly what Bucs supporters were yelling after a further dynamic showing from their signal-caller in a 30-19 victory versus the San Francisco 49ers

Mayfield is the primary factor the Bucs are 5-1 and he commanded with authority again, delivering two touchdowns and producing all the big plays - incorporating an remarkable third and long run when he bulled by multiple defenders to obtain a essential continued possession

He possesses a ability that cannot be taught or coach

The quarterback's crucial performances had caused each of the four earlier successes happening in the last minute - the clearer approach on Sunday only enhanced his increasing Most Valuable Player arguments

Daniel Jones is a similar resurgence story in for Indianapolis following the Indianapolis beat the Arizona Cardinals to reach 5-1 - their top start from the 2009 season

Rusher Taylor is the second star of the Colts' surprise opening, but the quarterback produces important moments at the correct juncture - recording dual passing TDs and a single ground this past Sunday

No Maye-be Concerning That - The Patriots Have Returned

Serving as a Patriots quarterback includes a unique expectation because of Tom Brady, but through Drake Maye they may finally have their upcoming franchise quarterback

After only his sophomore year, the quarterback looks confident in the passing area and is fearless to launch the ball long - delivering touchdowns of 25, 29 and 53 yards and having a 61-yard pass ruled out by a penalty in Sunday's victory at the The Saints

He is only the next signal-caller younger than 24 to record five straight contests with more than 200 aerial gains and a efficiency rating of triple digits

The previous duo being a primetime win in Buffalo then, in the intense atmosphere of the Saints' home, demonstrate the reason Pats faithful are becoming optimistic that - guided by fresh leader Vrabel - they may be back in business

Seattle equaled the The Pats on four and two as they won their ninth straight visiting game - an impressive 20-12 win at the The Jaguars

The quarterback is proving the prior campaign's comeback in with the Vikings was no fluke and he has one of the best pass catchers in the league in Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who made eight different grabs for 163 yards and a score in Jacksonville

Pittsburgh Steelers' Play-off Path Emerges

Pittsburgh moved to four wins with a twenty-second consecutive home success versus the The Browns in the NFL season - and they seem to have an clear path to the play-offs now in a less competitive American Football Conference North

Normally one of the toughest groups around but Aaron Rodgers' 4-1 The Steelers seem in complete command, with their opponents all flagging

The Cleveland Browns have just one success and a persistently messy signal-caller circumstance, while The Ravens look done for following a 17-3 at home defeat by the Los Angeles Rams reduced them to one and five

Merely four franchises in league history have made the postseason after a 1-5 opening and, while Lamar Jackson leading an premier casualty report, Baltimore will not be contributing to that statistic

Cincinnati were defeated 18-27 in Green Bay to fall to two wins, with forty-year-old Flacco not quite a like-for-like replacement for {Joe Burrow|Burrow|
