4. Baltimore Ravens (4-1)
The Baltimore Ravens are a fun team again. Now 4-1 on the season, the Ravens were able to get by the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday Night Football without Lamar Jackson, who has an ankle injury. On a side note, if this is an injury that keeps popping up throughout the season, the Ravens are going to be in trouble.
Jackson definitely has an injury history. It's not been anything major, but the style of QB he plays puts him in much more vulnerable positions than other players. He needs to stay on the field if the Ravens hope to make a deep run.
But the early returns from first-year head coach Jesse Minter have been great. We are still seeing this team play 'we almost blew it' in the second half, but they're 4-1 on the season and appear to be in the driver's seat in the AFC North thus far.
3. Buffalo Bills (4-1)
The Buffalo Bills love the big games. The defense is still a concern, isn't it? While the offense has been sensational, and it should be with Josh Allen, the defense is currently allowing 28.2 points per game, which is good for 28th in the NFL.
The Bills rank 1st in points per game, though. Buffalo continuing to rely on Allen like this could come back to bite them. Yes, he's awesome, but he's also someone who makes bone-headed decisions from time to time.
Whether it comes with a personnel addition or otherwise, the Bills have to get better play from the defense, but at the same time, this team is 4-1 and feel like a juggernaut. I would definitely keep an eye on Buffalo potentially making some type of personnel move at the deadline if the defense continues to be a liability.
