The New England Patriots pulled away from the Indianapolis Colts 38-24 in their Thursday Night Football matchup and look like they're in midseason form after a 1-2 start. Other perennial playoff contenders can also move in the right direction in Week 5.
The Atlanta Falcons (1-3) and the Pittsburgh Steelers (1-2-1) go into Sunday's matchup struggling on defense for different reasons. The former lost multiple key players to various injuries and the latter's on-field personnel doesn’t look in sync, ranking 26th in points allowed. Both teams absolutely need a win because of the strong competition within their respective divisions.
