After four weeks of play in the NFL, things are becoming much more clear in terms of which teams are top contenders. Both the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs are standouts in each conference, leading the question to whether or not we’ll see them face off in the Super Bowl? However, there are teams a bit more cloudy – such as the Atlanta Falcons who seem reprised with the return of their quarterback. Others are falling fast, such as the Houston Texans who are now 0-4.
Here are our updated Super Bowl Power Rankings entering Week 5.
