CFL Headquarters - As the Continental Football League rolls into Week 5, only five teams remain unscathed, each boasting a unique formula for success. The New England Patriots, Cleveland Browns, Seattle Seahawks, Los Angeles Rams, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers have all found ways to keep their records pristine. Here’s a closer look at how each team has maintained their dominance so far.



New England Patriots (4-0): Defensive Force with a Steady Arm



Quarterback Philip Muniz has been a steady hand for the Patriots, throwing for 710 yards while averaging 6.76 yards per attempt. While their offense has been relatively decent, it’s their defense that has been making headlines. The Patriots recorded a shutout against the New Orleans Saints in Week 2 and have racked up an impressive 12 sacks in four games. Their balanced attack has kept them in control of every matchup, making them a formidable opponent heading into Week 5 against Miami.



Cleveland Browns (4-0): Winning the Close Battles



The Browns have shown resilience, with three of their four victories coming by just one score. Their passing game has been a major strength, ranking second in the league in passing yards per game. While their games have been tight, their ability to perform under pressure has proven crucial to their unbeaten record. If they can continue to execute late in games, Cleveland could remain a serious contender and something Washington will need to figure out quickly to shut them down.



Seattle Seahawks (4-0): Defense and Ground Game Leading the Way



The Seahawks have constructed their success on an elite defense and a powerful rushing attack. RB Curt Warner has amassed 431 yards on 77 carries, helping Seattle control the tempo in every game. Meanwhile, their defense has been nothing short of dominant, ranking first overall and allowing the fewest rushing yards per game while standing third in passing yards allowed. With a lockdown defense and a relentless ground game, Seattle looks built for the long haul. However, they have a challenge coming in the form of the LA Rams for week 5. It'll be the battle of the unbeaten, but one will fall. Will Seattle survive?



Los Angeles Rams (4-0): Sack Masters with Shutdown Capabilities



Defense has been the driving force behind the Rams' unbeaten start. They’ve posted two shutouts—Week 1 against Washington and Week 4 against the New York Giants. Their pass rush has been ferocious, leading the league with 24 sacks through four weeks. Quarterback David Bell has done his part, throwing for 594 yards on 62 completions, while wide receiver Jed Robinson has been a key target with 20 receptions for 236 yards. The Rams’ combination of defensive dominance and efficient offense has made them one of the toughest teams in the league. With a week 5 test against the Seattle Seahawks in a showdown of the unstoppables, the #1 ranked defense goes against the #2 ranked defense heading into week 5. Which defense will outperform the other?



Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-0): The League’s Most Explosive Offense



The Buccaneers boast the league’s top-ranked offense, thanks to a high-powered passing game and a strong rushing attack. They rank first in passing yards per game and second in rushing yards per game, making them a nightmare for opposing defenses. Quarterback Jon Hogan has been especially effective, throwing for seven touchdowns so far. The Bucs also have a shutout to their name, blanking the Minnesota Vikings in Week 2. If their offense keeps rolling at this pace, they could be nearly impossible to stop.



Looking Ahead



As these five teams enter Week 5, the question remains: Who will stay perfect? Each team has showcased its own strengths—dominant defenses, high-powered offenses, and clutch performances in close games. With another week of intense matchups ahead, the pressure is on for these undefeated squads to continue their winning ways. Each team's week 5 matchup is below:
