Three teams with 4–0 records are left standing heading into Week 5 with yet another chance to keep their hot streaks going. 

The San Francisco 49ers, Kansas City Chiefs, and Minnesota Vikings survived tough games this past weekend, but are aware every appointment they face going forward is champing at the bit to knock them from the ranks of the unbeaten. 

San Francisco and Minnesota hit the road against tough opponents in hostile environments this weekend, while Kansas City is on their bye week as they reset and prepare for the second half of their season.
