Week 5 NFL Power Rankings

A weekly peek at the NFL from top to bottom.
NFL Power Rankings
Last Week: 1
|
New Orleans SaintsThe defense had 4 sacks, 3 interceptions, 1 forced fumble and 2 touchdowns. Not bad for an offensive powerhouse. They get the bye week to prepare for the Giants in week 6. |
||
Last Week: 2
|
New York GiantsKansas City one week, Oakland the next. Then the true test with New Orleans. |
||
Last Week: 3
|
Indianapolis ColtsTook care of a pathetic Seahawks team. Now they get a scary match up with the underachieving Titans. |
||
Last Week: 5
|
Minnesota VikingsMade a statement on Monday night. One slip up by the Colts from moving up another spot this week. |
||
Last Week: 7
|
Denver BroncosDefense looks really good. Team can make a real statement this week with a win over New England. |
||
Last Week: 8
|
New England PatriotsBig win over the Ravens last week. Look for Brady and Moss to start clicking. |
||
Last Week: 4
|
Baltimore RavensGave the Pats everything they wanted. Can separate themselves from the rest of the AFC North this week with a win over the Bengals. |
||
Last Week: 9
|
Philadelphia EaglesComing off a bye week they get the Bucs. Perfect scenario for Donovan’s return. |
||
Last Week: 11
|
Cincinnati BengalsSeem to do just enough to win every week. Already have wins against AFC North foes Pittsburgh and Cleveland, this week they get Baltimore. |
||
Last Week: 10
|
Atlanta FalconsHad a week to lick their wounds after the L in New England. Next up, a feisty ‘Niners squad. |
||
Last Week: 6
|
New York JetsMark Sanchez looked like a rookie for the first time. Need a big win on Monday night to get that excitement back. |
||
Last Week: 14
|
San Fransisco 49ers35-0 is impressive no matter who you play in the NFL. Big game this week with Atlanta coming to town. |
||
Last Week: 16
|
Chicago BearsHead into the bye week 3-1. Cutler had 18 completions to 9 different targets. |
||
Last Week: 17
|
Pittsburgh SteelersDominated the Bolts for 3 quarters, then tried to find a way to give it away. Already lost to the Bengals in the 4th quarter this year, need to watch the late game meltdowns. |
||
Last Week: 13
|
Green Bay PackersDid anyone really think Brett was going to lose to Green Bay? They get a week to regroup for the lowly Lions. |
||
Last Week: 12
|
Dallas CowboysStruggled against a tough Denver defense. A trip to Arrowhead could be just what they need to get back in the win column. |
||
Last Week: 18
|
Jacksonville JaguarsLook to win 3 in a row in Seattle this week. Sims-Walker is making some names for himself. |
||
Last Week: 20
|
Houston TexansExplosive skill position players. Look to get over .500 in the desert. |
||
Last Week: 15
|
San Diego ChargersA lot of work to do in the bye week. It was too little too late on Monday night, but we need to see the offense rolling like it was in the 4th quarter. |
||
Last Week: 26
|
Miami DolphinsHenne gets a W in his first start. Ronnie and Ricky are running wild. |
||
Last Week:24
|
Washington Redskins2-2 record gets them back in front of the Lions in the rankings. |
||
Last Week:19
|
Arizona CardinalsNeed a win over the Texans Sunday to get on track and stay in contention. |
||
Last Week: 22
|
Seattle SeahawksDefense is terrible. Really need a healthy Hasselbeck to compete. |
||
Last Week:21
|
Buffalo BillsLynch didn’t look so great in his first game back from suspension. 3 completions to TO is a move in the right direction. |
||
Last Week:23
|
Detroit LionsThe streak ends at 1, but they scored 24 points which is a good sign for the offense. |
||
Last Week:25
|
Tennessee Titans13-3 last year, ranked behind the Lions this year. I’ve been asking for a Vince Young package for weeks. |
||
Last Week: 27
|
Carolina PanthersHopefully the passing game shows some life coming out of the bye. |
||
Last Week:22
|
Oakland Raiders173 yards of total offense won’t win many games. |
||
Last Week:30
|
Tampa Bay BuccaneersScoring 13 points moves them up 1 spot. The defense looked good for 3 of 4 quarters. |
||
Last Week:29
|
St. Louis RamsBeing shut out 35-0 is not pretty. |
||
Last Week:28
|
Kansas City ChiefsIt’s about time to start handing the ball to Jamaal Charles, not Larry Johnson. |
||
Last Week: 31
|
Cleveland BrownsShipping Edwards out was long overdue. This team is best in the league at one thing….blocking field goals. |






I disagree with the Browns being dead last. I’d say they atleast show more signs of life than St. Louis and Kansas City, and even Oakland for that matter. They atleast made it a close game against Cinci (who u have ranked 9th), what have any of the other bottom 5 done to prove they deserve to be ranked ahead?
