The Kansas City Chiefs looked mortal on Sunday Night Football and the Dallas Cowboys were a mess against Green Bay. How does it all change our 2019 NFL Power Rankings?
Week 5 was full of upsets with teams such as the Oakland Raiders knocking off the Chicago Bears in London as the NFL kicked off another international series for 2019. Chicago was still favored even without their starting quarterback, Mitch Trubisky, but the Raiders won in a roller-coaster game that entertained the fans overseas.
The Dallas Cowboys also were defeated and while it wasn’t a huge upset, it was still shocking due to how bad they looked against the Green Bay Packers. The final score was 34-24, but that doesn’t describe how bad it really was.
Dallas was able to move the ball with ease but they made an enormous amount of mistakes once they got within scoring range. The normally safe Dak Prescott threw three picks and kicker Brett Maher missed two field goals. That’s always a recipe for disaster when playing a team with Aaron Rodgers on the other sideline.
However, no upset was as shocking as the Indianapolis Colts win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football. Led by Marlon Mack on the ground and a suffocating defense coached by Matt Eberflus, the Colts held the Chiefs to just 13 points — something unheard of with Patrick Mahomes under center.
With all that being said, it’s time to dive into the Week 6 edition of the 2019 NFL Power Rankings, where we can see how things have changed following a wild weekend with some interesting final scores.
