8. Philadelphia Eagles (2-2)

The Philadelphia Eagles are perfect at home, but now have consecutive road defeats to start the season. The Eagles looked to have the game won in overtime with the Titans facing a fourth-and-15, but after converting three fourth downs, Marcus Mariota found Corey Davis for the game-winning touchdown. Philadelphia hosts Minnesota in Week 5.

7. Carolina Panthers (2-1)

The Carolina Panthers have finished their Week 4 bye, and enter a game with the New York Giants at 2-1. The Panthers beat the Bengals in Week 3.

6. Chicago Bears (3-1)

It’s time to take the Chicago Bears seriously. Their defense has been dominant all year (fourth quarter against the Packers aside), but their offense played their part against the Bucs. Mitch Trubisky threw six touchdown performances to help Chicago win its third in a row. The Bears enter their bye week in first place in the NFC North.

5. New Orleans Saints (3-1)

Alvin Kamara was the star of the show at MetLife Stadium, rushing 19 times for 134 yards and three touchdowns. The defense limited the Giants to just 18 points, and held Odell Beckham to seven catches for 60 yards. It’s three consecutive victories for the Saints, with two on the road. Mark Ingram returns from suspension as the Saints host Washington in Week 5. The Redskins are coming off their bye week.
