There was a bit of a change in the top ten in this weeks Power Rankings. The San Diego Chargers impressed in a 31-0 thumping of the New York Jets, improving their record to 4-1. Also, the Cincinnati Bengals continued to struggle in big games. Entering their game against New England, the Bengals were the last undefeated team. They quickly lost their undefeated record, losing to the Pats 43-17.
Here are my Power Rankings for week 6. Feel free to leave your comments and opinions below. Also, make sure you check back every Tuesday morning as I will continue to post my Power Rankings throughout the season.
-(3-1). Previous: . Seattle Seahawks. 1. team. 36. The Seattle Seahawks struggled against the Redskins. The biggest enemy Seattle faced was the yellow flags. On mutliple occasions, big plays were wiped out due to penalties that should not have been committed. Still, I wouldn’t look at this game and have doubts. Seattle is the best team in the NFL until proven otherwise.
Denver’s passing game excelled against the Arizona Cardinals. It’s just a matter of time until we have a new all-time passing touchdown leader.. (3-1). Previous: . Denver Broncos. 2. team. 45
13. <strong><a href=. (4-1). Previous: . San Diego Chargers. 3. team
team. 54. The Philadelphia Eagles were able to get out of their recent running slump; however, giving being outscored 14-0 in the fourth by the Rams is a bit concerning.. (4-1). Previous: . Philadelphia Eagles. 4
team. 46. After falling to the Broncos and Eagles, the Indianapolis Colts won their first big game of the year against the Ravens. The defense did a phenomenal job limiting Baltimore’s offense.. (3-2). Previous: . Indianapolis Colts. 5
(3-1). Previous: . Cincinnati Bengals. 6. team. 56. When the lights are on or there is a slight amount of pressure, the Bengals continue to fold. It’s frustrating – there is a lot of talent on the roster – but they continue to beat themselves.
team. 123. Face it, Dallas finally looks like a legitimate team. It will be interesting to see if they can pull off the upset this week in Seattle. . (4-1). Previous: . Dallas Cowboys. 7
team. 42. With a dominate rushing attack, the San Francisco 49ers have won two straight games. Everything seems to be at bay with the Niners. No pun intended.. (3-2). Previous: . San Francisco 49ers. 8
