The Chiefs will never feel they're out of a game with Patrick Mahomes at QB, whether that's on Sunday against the Jaguars or beyond. His improvisational skills, which included a left-handed pass to Tyreek Hill on Monday night in Denver, are part of a package that makes him difficult to defend. -- Adam Teicher

The Broncos sit at 2-2 because they haven't closed the deal when they've had the chance to do what they do best on offense -- run the ball -- and on defense -- be aggressive. That was on display in Monday's loss to the Chiefs when they gave up a 10-point fourth-quarter lead. It's all slightly unnerving for a team that saw a 3-1 start turn into an eight-game losing streak in 2017. -- Jeff Legwold

In Sunday's victory in Pittsburgh, the Ravens' defense showed why it ranks No. 1 in the NFL. Baltimore shut out Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers in the second half, limiting Pittsburgh to 47 total yards. The Ravens are the only team in the NFL not to allow a touchdown after halftime this season. This could spell trouble for Baker Mayfield next Sunday. The Ravens are 11-5 against rookie quarterbacks under coach John Harbaugh, forcing 19 interceptions over that span. -- Jamison Hensley

Not much is coming together for a team that oddly lacks an identity through four weeks. The Steelers can't get stops or run the ball consistently, which places a lot of pressure on Ben Roethlisberger's arm. That works some of the time but isn't a balanced formula for winning. The Steelers need to discover more splash plays on both sides of the ball to settle that void. -- Jeremy Fowler

This team is tough. The Bengals could have let things spiral after Tyler Eifert suffered a gruesome leg injury early in the second half, but they fought through adversity to match the Falcons stride for stride and eventually scored the winning touchdown in the final 10 seconds. Players around the locker room talked about how it was a complete team win, leading to sky-high confidence as they return home to host the Dolphins in Week 5. -- Katherine Terrell

play 1:49 Giants need to get OBJ more touches Ryan Clark and Jeff Saturday react to the Giants' loss and both say Odell Beckham Jr. needs to be involved more.

The 1-3 Falcons have to figure out how to consistently come up with defensive stops. Yes, they lost Pro Bowl defenders Keanu Neal (ACL) and Deion Jones (foot) to injury, as well as defensive captain Ricardo Allen (Achilles). But many of the wounds are self-inflicted, including dropping interceptions, playing with improper leverage or picking up personal fouls for late or illegal hits. Defensive end Vic Beasley Jr. said, "We just have to remain optimistic." It doesn't get any easier with Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers next week on the road, but at least the Falcons showed signs of a pass rush with Takkarist McKinley getting three sacks. -- Vaughn McClure

The Patriots' defense isn't as bad as advertised. Coming off back-to-back disappointing performances, they throttled the Dolphins and gained some much-needed reassurance in the process, as they get ready for a quick turnaround with the Colts visiting on Thursday. While losing rookie linebacker Ja'Whaun Bentley for the season is a tough blow, the returns of defensive end Trey Flowers and safety Patrick Chung -- who missed a Week 3 loss in Detroit -- showed how valuable they are to the unit. -- Mike Reiss

The Dolphins aren't ready to win the AFC East, and their offense needs more consistency. Miami had 172 total yards in its loss to the Patriots. It was also the second consecutive week Miami had 45 or fewer plays. The scariest part is coach Adam Gase believes his team got "outphysicaled" by the Patriots. Headed into another road game against the high-powered Bengals offense, the Dolphins need to figure out how to fix their lack of physicality before it derails a strong start to the season. -- Cameron Wolfe

Things are coming together for the Titans as they get healthy and the passing game improves. Marcus Mariota and Corey Davis connected nine times for 161 yards, including the winning touchdown. The final drive included three first-down conversions on fourth downs. Getting another come-from-behind win in a close game will only give Mike Vrabel's team more confidence as it heads to Buffalo next week. -- Turron Davenport

The Eagles showed some vulnerabilities that need to be cleaned up if they want to contend. There was too much pressure on Carson Wentz (11 hits, four sacks) and too many big plays given up in the secondary, which lost safety Rodney McLeod (knee) last week. The Eagles will need to play much cleaner next week against the Vikings, who have revenge on their minds. -- Tim McManus

Houston's front seven might finally be coming together. On Sunday, J.J. Watt and Jadeveon Clowney each had two sacks. In the past two weeks, Watt has five sacks and 16 quarterback pressures, according to NFL Next Gen Stats. The Texans still have an uphill battle to come back from an 0-3 start, but a turnaround will start with Clowney and Watt continuing to play at a high level next week against the Cowboys. -- Sarah Barshop

The Colts face a New England team that has beaten them five consecutive times in their next game on a short week, and there's a good chance they won't have their best receiver for the game. T.Y. Hilton left the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Texans with a hamstring injury. Coach Frank Reich didn't sound optimistic that Hilton, who had four catches for 115 yards before the injury, would be available. Hilton has missed only two games in his career. -- Mike Wells
