Chiefs and Vikings are only undefeated teams left

(This story has been updated following the Tennessee Titans’ victory over the Miami Dolphins and the Detroit Lions’ victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football.)

NFL teams have now played four games this season and there are only two undefeated teams remaining.

The Kansas City Chiefs and Minnesota Vikings are 4-0 this season.

Which NFL team will be the last undefeated team this season?

The Chiefs play the New Orleans Saints in Week 5, have a bye in Week 6 and face the San Francisco 49ers in Week 7.

The Vikings face the New York Jets in Week 5, have a bye in Week 6 and face the Lions in Week 7.

Here’s how we rank all 32 teams in the NFL heading into Week 5 of the 2024-25 season, with adjustments based on the results of Week 4 NFL games.

Previous ranking in brackets.

32. Jacksonville Jaguars (31)

Last week: Lost to Houston Texans, 24-20

This week: Sunday against Indianapolis Colts

The Jaguars showed signs of life against the Texans, but that doesn’t change the fact that they are 0-4.

31. Miami Dolphins (24)

Last week: Lost to Tennessee Titans, 31-12

This week: Sunday against New England Patriots

Descent too steep for Miami? We don’t believe that. The Dolphins have been outscored 86-25 in their three straight losses.

30. Tennessee Titans (32)

Last week: Beat the Miami Dolphins 31-12

This week: week off

The Titans picked up their first win of the season while largely without Will Levis, who left with a shoulder injury.

29. New England Patriots (29)

Last week: Lost to the San Francisco 49ers, 30-13

This week: Sunday against Miami Dolphins

Should New England switch to Drake Maye at QB? After three defeats in a row, there are already calls for a QB change.

28. Carolina Panthers (28)

Last week: Lost to the Cincinnati Bengals, 34-24

This week: Sunday against Chicago Bears

Yes, Carolina lost to the Bengals, but this team is much more impressive with Andy Dalton under center.

27. Los Angeles Rams (23)

Last week: Lost to the Chicago Bears, 24-18

This week: Sunday against Green Bay Packers

Yes, it’s still early in the season, but the Rams can’t afford to fall to 1-4 with a loss to the Packers in Week 5.

26. Arizona Cardinals (22)

Last week: Lost to Washington Commanders, 42-14

This week: Sunday against San Francisco 49ers

The Cardinals managed 142 yards on Sunday. That’s not enough. Allowing Jayden Daniels to go 26-for-30 for 233 yards isn’t the case either.

25. Cleveland Browns (19)

Last week: Lost to the Las Vegas Raiders, 20-16

The season could get ugly for the Browns. They have the Commanders, Eagles, Bengals and Ravens in their next four games.

24. New York Giants (27)

Last week: Lost to Dallas Cowboys, 20-15

This week: Sunday against Baltimore Ravens

The Bengals got their first win in a must-win game for Cincinnati, setting up an interesting showdown against the Ravens.

Last week: Defeat the New York Jets 10-9

This week: Sunday against Las Vegas Raiders

Bo Nix threw his first NFL touchdown pass, helping the Broncos make it 2-2. Incredibly, he was 12 of 25 passing for just 60 yards in the game.

21. Las Vegas Raiders (25)

Last week: Beat the Cleveland Browns 20-16

This week: Sunday against Denver Broncos

The Raiders rushed for 152 yards against the Browns. They hadn’t rushed for more than 55 yards in a game through the first three weeks of the season.

20. Chicago Bears (21)

Last week: Beat the Los Angeles Rams 24-18

This week: Sunday against Carolina Panthers

The Bears got D’Andre Swift going in this game (93 yards rushing, 72 yards receiving), which could bode well for Chicago’s offense.

19. Los Angeles Chargers (16)

Last week: Lost to the Kansas City Chiefs, 17-10

This week: Bye week

Two straight losses have marred Los Angeles’ 2-0 start, but the Chargers have some very winnable games coming up next.

Last week: Lost to Denver Broncos, 10-9

This week: Sunday against Minnesota Vikings (in London)

Joe Flacco still has it. He completed 16 of 26 for 168 yards and two touchdowns replacing the injured Anthony Richardson.

15. New Orleans Saints (8)

Last week: Lost to the Atlanta Falcons, 26-24

This week: Monday Night Football vs. Kansas City Chiefs (October 7)

The Saints took a 24-23 lead with a minute left, but lost on a 58-yard field goal by Younghoe Koo with two seconds left.

14. Atlanta Falcons (18)

Last week: Defeat the New Orleans Saints 26-24

This week: Thursday Night Football vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Falcons could use more from their rushing game after they only had 88 yards on the ground against New Orleans.

13. Green Bay Packers (9)

Last week: Lost to the Minnesota Vikings, 31-29

This week: Sunday against Los Angeles Rams

At one point, Green Bay trailed 28-0, forcing Jordan Love to make 54 throws (he completed 32 passes) in the loss. He had four touchdown passes but also three intercepted passes.

12. Philadelphia Eagles (3)

Last week: Lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 33-16

This week: Bye week

The Eagles’ prolific offense has been down most of this season. It doesn’t help if the two best wide receivers are out due to injuries.

11. Houston Texans (13)

Last week: Defeat the Jacksonville Jaguars 24-20

This week: Sunday against Buffalo Bills

The Texans won with a late touchdown pass from CJ Stroud to Dare Ogunbowale to make it 3-1. A win is a win, but it wasn’t pretty.

10. Washington Commanders (17)

Last week: Defeat the Arizona Cardinals 42-14

This week: Sunday against Cleveland Browns

How are Jayden Daniels’ first four games going? 87-for-106 passing for 897 yards, three touchdown passes and one intercepted pass. That’s enough.

9. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (11)

Last week: Beat the Philadelphia Eagles 33-16

This week: Thursday Night Football vs. Atlanta Falcons

The Buccaneers managed 445 yards of total offense against the Eagles. They had the ball for more than 36 minutes.

8. Baltimore Ravens (12)

Last week: Beat Buffalo Bills 35-10

This week: Sunday against Cincinnati Bengals

Derrick Henry certainly seems like the perfect running back for the Ravens and he continues to produce in Baltimore.

7. San Francisco 49ers (10)

Last week: Beat the New England Patriots 30-13

This week: Sunday against Arizona Cardinals

After the Cardinals, the 49ers play the Seahawks, Chiefs, Cowboys, Buccaneers, Seahawks, Packers and then Bills. Wow.

6. Seattle Seahawks (7)

Last week: Lost to Detroit Lions, 42-29

This week: Sunday against New York Giants

The Seahawks have impressed us, but they may have some trouble. After the Giants, they face the 49ers, Falcons and Bills in three consecutive weeks.

5. Pittsburgh Steelers (6)

Last week: Lost to Indianapolis Colts, 27-24

This week: Sunday Night Football vs. Dallas Cowboys

Justin Fields and the Steelers nearly recovered from a 17-0 deficit against the Colts, but were knocked out late by a botched snap. This team is close to a 4-0 result, so we will move them up one spot.

4. Buffalo Bills (2)

Last week: Lost to Baltimore Ravens, 35-10

This week: Sunday against Houston Texans

Yes, the Bills vs. the Ravens, but they’re still 3-1 this season and it’s hard to win in Baltimore. But we didn’t expect them to lose so badly.

3. Detroit Lions (4)

Last week: Beat the Seattle Seahawks 42-29

This week: Bye week

Jared Goff won 18-18 against the Seahawks. Yes, he completed every one of his pass attempts.

2. Minnesota Vikings (5)

Last week: Defeat the Green Bay Packers 31-29

This week: Sunday against New York Jets (in London)

The Vikings are off to their best start since 2016. They trailed by less than 3 1/2 minutes all season. How many games can they win in a row at the start of the season?

1. Kansas City Chiefs (1)

Last week: Beat the Los Angeles Chargers 17-10

This week: Monday Night Football vs. New Orleans Saints (October 7)

We vowed to keep the two-time defending Super Bowl champions ranked No. 1 until they lose. How long will this take? The 49ers have a Week 7 game coming up.
