So far, only two teams are mired in a losing streak, while last week in Week 4, there were many more than two teams entering Week 5 with an 0-4 record. On the other hand, Purdy’s 49ers and Hurts’ Eagles are undefeated.

In Week 4, the Denver Broncos managed to break out of an 0-3 losing streak by winning on the road 31-28. Another team that also came out of a bad streak was the Minnesota Vikings.

For now, there are no big favorites to make the playoffs, but the teams with the best records within each conference could be the ones that enter Week 5 with the highest expectations.
