The Seahawks are the No. 5 seed in the NFC, holding a strength of victory tiebreaker (.478) over the Lions (.273). The Seahawks also hold the tiebreaker over the Rams for the No. 6 seed based on having a better division record than Los Angeles. Seattle is 1-1 in the NFC West while Los Angeles is 0-1.

After losing the number two spot in the conference without playing on Sunday, the Buffalo Bills fell even farther with their loss on Monday night. The New England Patriots have passed the Bills for the top spot in the AFC East.

The Steelers have a divisional rivalry game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday night. After that, there are games against the Packers, Colts, Chargers, Bills, and Lions still on the docket. Those five teams have a combined seven losses so far this season.

The Chargers and Broncos are both 3-2 and in playoff position entering Week 6. The Chiefs (2-3) are currently third in the division.
