WHAT TO LOOK FOR – WEEK 6

SIX-AND-WHOA!:Tied atop the AFC West with 5-0 records, the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs are two of three remaining undefeated teams in 2013. If both win this Sunday, it would mark the second time since the divisional structure was implemented in 1933 that two teams in the same division started 6-0.

In 1934, the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears, then members of the NFL's Western Division, each started 10-0. Chicago finished 13-0 before losing the 1934 NFL Championship game by a score of 30-13 to the New York Giants. The Lions (10-3) finished second in the Western Division.

CLIMBING BACK:Teams off to a slow start are justified in believing that they can turn it around. Since the current playoff format (12 teams) was instituted in 1990, 14 teams have rebounded from being at least three games under .500 after the season's first five weeks or later to qualify for the postseason. At least one team has done so in each of the past three seasons, including the 2012 Washington Redskins, who rebounded from a 3-6 start to win their final seven games en route to an NFC East title.

Since 1990, teams that were three or more games below .500 after Week 5 or later and made the playoffs:

The 2008-09 Indianapolis Colts, who were also quarterbacked by PEYTON MANNING, won an NFL-record 23 consecutive regular-season games.
