NFL standings, Week 5: Where things stand in each division as we move toward Week 6

The NFL is working its way through Week 5, which moves us through the quarter mark of the season. We entered Week 5 with one undefeated team, and there's a whole lot of parity all across the league. When four divisions have no team better than 2-2, it's safe to say Tom Brady isn't far off when he describes it as an issue of a lot of bad football.

Below are the eight divisional standings, along with some quick thoughts about each division as we move through the fifth week of football. We'll update with remaining standings as Week 5 wraps and we move toward Week 6.
