The NFL enters Week 6 with two undefeated teams: the San Francisco 49ers and the Minnesota Vikings, both at 5-0. The Kansas City Chiefs sit a half-game back at 4-0, and the Baltimore Ravens survived an overtime thriller on Sunday Night Football to stay in the mix.

Week 5 in Brief

San Francisco's perfect record held through Sunday, with the 49ers again leaning on a balanced offense and a defense that has forced turnovers at one of the league's highest rates. The Giants and Commanders played to a 21-21 tie, the first draw of the season, in a game defined by red-zone failures on both sides. The Jaguars won in London, continuing their unusual success in the international series.

Thursday: Broncos at Seahawks

Week 6 opens with a Super Bowl XLVIII rematch in Seattle, a game that carries a decade of nostalgia for Broncos and Seahawks fans alike. Both franchises are in different phases now, but the original blowout still frames every meeting between the two.

Sunday and Monday Highlights

The Jaguars face the Texans in London on Sunday, the second consecutive international appearance for Jacksonville. Sunday Night Football sends the Cowboys to Lambeau Field to face the Packers, a rivalry game that has produced some of the decade's most dramatic finishes. The 49ers' perfect start is on the line Monday night in Washington against the Commanders.

One discipline note: San Francisco linebacker Dre Greenlaw has been suspended one game for a hitting incident, sidelining him for a chunk of the Washington matchup. Kickoff times are Eastern; full broadcast listings are available through NFL.
