5 Super Bowl contenders heading into NFL Week 5

Ranking Super Bowl contenders #3 to #1

Here are the top three teams with Super Bowl aspirations.

#3 – Los Angeles Rams

Much like Darnold heading to the Panthers, Matthew Stafford is also having a revival after being acquired by the Los Angeles Rams.

The Rams are a tough team on both sides of the ball, and they seem to be getting better week after week. They are currently 3-1 after losing to the Arizona Cardinals. Stafford and Cooper Kupp have settled in with one another, and Darrell Henderson has returned to the lineup to add an even bigger playmaker to the fold.

With Aaron Donald, Jalen Ramsey, Kupp, and Stafford all playing lights out, there could be a new sheriff in town when the NFC championship game arrives, and this could finally be the year the Rams make it to the Super Bowl.

#2 – Buffalo Bills

The Buffalo Bills were the same powerhouse last season and nearly made it to the Super Bowl.

They were beaten out by the much better Kansas City Chiefs, but the roles seem to be reversed right now. The Bills are playing good football while the Chiefs, having been to the last two Super Bowls, are somewhere in the middle of the pack for wins and skill.

The Bills currently have the biggest points differential in the league with a staggering 90-plus point advantage. If the Bills continue to dominate teams the way they have in the past three weeks, it will be hard to get by in the AFC. They are the leading contenders to get to the Super Bowl from the AFC.

#1 – Arizona Cardinals

As mentioned previously in this article, the Arizona Cardinals are the last remaining undefeated team. They have fought their way to that record and many are surprised with how well they are playing.

The Cardinals went 8-8 last season and also started with a hot record, but something feels different this time. They recently beat the Rams with ease, who in turn beat the former Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Cardinals feel like a team possessed and Chandler Jones is a big reason behind that. His five sacks are second best in the league right now and their strong defensive front is a perfect complement to the high-power offense that Kyler Murray has been driving.

The Cardinals are the most legit NFC team to be a Super Bowl contender right now, and if they keep beating tough opponents, there will be little to stop them.
