The winners (Justin Tucker!) and losers (Los Angeles Rams!) of Week 5 of the NFL season

If you had been asked to pick the best division in football at the start of the NFL season, there's a good chance the NFC East wouldn't have been in your top four answers.

And yet, through five weeks, the NFC East has emerged as the NFC Beasts.

The Eagles moved to 5-0 with a win over the Arizona Cardinals, to remain the only undefeated team in football. Just behind them are the Cowboys and the Giants at 4-1, with Dallas earning yet another win with backup quarterback Cooper Rush and New York pulling off its biggest performance of the season with an upset against the Packers in London.

As things stand, there's a chance the NFC East sends three teams to the postseason.

Next Sunday night, the Cowboys head to Philadelphia to play the Eagles in primetime. It should be a good one.

The race for NFL MVP is somewhat crowded. Former winners Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson are both off to stellar starts again, and Jalen Hurts has announced himself as a contender for the award after leading the Eagles to a 5-0 start.

But the current frontrunner to be named MVP is Bills quarterback Josh Allen, and on Sunday, he showed why, throwing for 424 yards and four touchdowns against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Nearly 100 of those passing yards came just a few plays into the game, when Allen connected with wide receiver Gabe Davis for a 98-yard strike.

Allen is a beast. With him conducting the offense, the Bills barely need to punt the ball away. Sam Martin has taken the field to punt just nine times this season — fewer than any other punter in the league.

Oh, and their defense is pretty good too.

The AFC is crowded with talented teams, but the Bills stand a head above the rest.

Justin Tucker is the greatest kicker in NFL history, and on Sunday, he added another chapter to his legacy, booting a game-winning field goal through the uprights as time expired against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Tucker's kick was hilariously accurate, appearing to strike a perfect line through the center of the uprights.

Because we live in the future, we actually know how accurate Tucker's kick was. Surprising absolutely no one, it was indeed perfect.

Tucker is one of the greatest football players to ever live, and we are blessed to watch him play.

You cannot stop Taysom Hill. You can only hope to contain him.

With the departure of Saints head coach Sean Payton in the off-season, many (myself included) assumed that Hill would see a reduced role in the New Orleans offense. While Payton was clearly delighted with employing Hill in gadget plays, it always felt like more of a passion project than anything else.

So of course on Sunday, Hill ran for three touchdowns and threw for a fourth.

Just a normal Sunday for the league's best tight end-running back-quarterback-coverage player.

The Detroit Lions arrived in New England with the highest scoring offense in the NFL through four games.

They left with 0 points.

In what can only be described as a Belichick-ian performance, the Patriots defense squeezed the life out of the Lions play after play, holding Detroit to just 330 total yards on the day.

In the second half, the Patriots stuffed the Lions on fourth down on four straight drives to secure the shutout.

Last week, Kenny Pickett got his first taste of NFL action coming in at halftime to spark the Steelers offense to life.

While the Steelers would lose that game, Pickett did enough to earn himself the starting job moving forward in Pittsburgh. His reward? Making his first ever NFL start against possibly the toughest team in football.

It did not go particularly well. While Pickett threw for a solid 327 yards, it came in a failing effort, with the Steelers offense managing just a field goal on the day. Pittsburgh was trailing 31-3 by halftime, and the game was over before it ever really got going.

Things don't exactly get easier for Pickett moving forward, with games against the Buccaneers, Dolphins, and Eagles on the horizon.

Pittsburgh head coach Mike Tomlin has famously never had a losing season, but he's going to need something special to keep that streak alive this year.

The Houston Texans were the last winless team in the NFL, going 0-3-1 through the first four weeks.

They changed that Sunday, with a droll, but definitive 13-6 win over the Jaguars in Jacksonville.

No one on the Texans wanted the win more than rookie running back Dameon Pierce.
