We're one month into the 2024 NFL regular season—and what a month it has been. There are two undefeated teams remaining in the NFL. One is the two-time defending Super Bowl champion.

The week kicked off with a battle for supremacy in the NFC South between the 3-1 Tampa Bay Buccaneers and an up-and down Atlanta Falcons team—an overtime thriller with a 500-yard passer that kicked off the slate with a bang. There's a battle of teams with aspirations of being powers in the AFC in Houston. The first London game of the year, which features the aforementioned undefeated Minnesota Vikings.
An AFC North battle between the Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens. And a primetime tilt in the Steel City that evokes memories of Super Bowls from the 1970s. Week 5 will tell us that much more about the state of the league in 2024.
