The Tampa Bay Buccaneers secured their first victory of the season, breaking a 0-4 start as they enter Week 5 of 2026. Four teams remain winless, including the Los Angeles Chargers and Houston Texans, both of whom made the playoffs last year.

The Texans are set to face off against the Tennessee Titans, which could potentially lead to three teams finishing the week at 0-5, given the records so far.
