While the NFL’s only remaining undefeated teams take their bye week, the debate continues regarding which is the league’s best right now: the back-to-back champion Chiefs or the upstart Vikings?
Heading into Week 6, FOX Sports’ NFL experts tackle that topic and several others, including whether the banged-up 49ers are still a Super Bowl contender, if Derrick Henry’s success with Baltimore will change the landscape for running backs, whether Jayden Daniels has already locked up Offensive Rookie of the Year over Caleb Williams, and if this is the right time for the 1-4 Patriots to throw rookie quarterback Drake Maye into the fray.
Let’s get started.

There’s plenty of time for San Francisco to get healthy and put together a winning streak that catapults them back among the top teams in the NFL. The 49ers are only a game behind the NFC West-leading Seahawks, and they play at Seattle on Thursday night. Kyle Shanahan can also lean on his experience.

Their schedule looks absolutely daunting to finish the season, but I refuse to count them out. They have so many outstanding players. They have a perennially successful coach in Kyle Shanahan. Maybe things have gotten off to a funky start, but Brandon Aiyuk is now clicking with Brock Purdy. Trent Williams looks like he’s back in football shape. George Kittle and Deebo Samuel are back in the lineup. Running back Christian McCaffrey should be back in the coming weeks. They’ve dealt with a fair amount of adversity, but they’re just too good — and too consistent over the past few years. They’ll make the playoffs someway somehow. —Henry McKenna

I don’t think it’s…
