Jaguars' Legitimacy Test: The Jacksonville Jaguars made a massive statement with their impressive comeback victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence stepped up, delivering game-changing plays that the Jaguars have been waiting to see. Their opportunistic defense, led by linebacker Devin Lloyd, added another takeaway, increasing their league-high total. Now at 4-1, matching last season's win total, the Jaguars are looking to prove they're the real deal.

The 49ers, despite key injuries, are defying the odds. This week, they face each other in a crucial matchup. The 49ers will be trying to improve their road record to 4-0.

Super Bowl Preview? Despite their recent loss, the Kansas City Chiefs remain dangerous. Their prime-time showdown against the Detroit Lions presents an opportunity to prove their mettle. The Lions, on a four-game winning streak, are a balanced team, leading the NFL in scoring with 34 points per game. This game could be a shootout between Jared Goff and Patrick Mahomes. But here's where it gets controversial... Goff has a 2-0 record against Mahomes. Mahomes has eight touchdown passes and four interceptions when going head-to-head with Goff.

Can Williams and his team turn the tables this time? Daniels is back after a knee injury, while Williams has shown improvement. The Commanders will be without Terry McLaurin. And this is the part most people miss... Washington's secondary will have a tough task containing Chicago receiver Rome Odunze. (Bears at Commanders, Monday at 8:15 p.m. ET on ABC)
