NFL Power Rankings Week 5: AFC, NFC Standings and Pre-MNF Predictions

The only predictable thing about this NFL season has been its unpredictability.

The New England Patriots went from looking lifeless at the Detroit Lions to crushing the previously undefeated Miami Dolphins 38-7 in a game that seemed even worse than the score.

The Chicago Bears offense, which didn't score more than 17 points in any of their first three games, looked like the best unit in the league after they put up 48 on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The New Orleans Saints defense, which gave up 37 points to the Atlanta Falcons and 41 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, resembled its 2017 form with a solid 33-18 win at the New York Giants.
