Official NFL Power Rankings: Week 6

That time of year again; the leaves are changing, the air is crisp, the ‘72 Dolphins are starting to call each other, wondering if this is the year… still 4 unbeatens lefe. (No one’s counting the Broncos. The rest of the league after the top 8 or 9 appears… mediocre, through and through. The run for the playoffs should be a blast this year.

Here, now… The NFL Power Rankings for week 6.

1. Indianapolis Colts (5-0) (last wk #1)

   

   Now people are noticing. The question is, does it matter?

2. New Orleans Saints (4-0) (last wk #2)

   

   With the Giants coming to town, we’ll find out just how good they are.

3. New York Giants (5-0) (last wk #3)

   

   Might be a preview of the NFC Title game. Eli better have the guns ready.

4. Minnesota Vikings (5-0) (last wk #5)

   

   Is anyone still doubting Favre?

5. Philadelphia Eagles (3-1) (Last wk #7)

   

   With all of the attention on the undefeateds, the eagles could mess around and win 13 games this year.

6. Atlanta Falcons (3-1) (Last wk #10)

   

   Dismantling the Niners brings them back to the fore. Almost.

7. Denver Broncos (5-0) (last wk #12)

   

   Hard to argue with 5-0.

8. Cincinnati Bengals (4-1) (last wk #19)

   

   Starting to believe in themselves.

9. Chicago Bears (3-1) (last wk #11)

   

   This week at Atlanta will show how good they are.

10. New England Patriots (3-2) (last wk #4)

    

    Showing that while they’re still a good football team, not an elite one.

11. Baltimore Ravens (3-2) (last wk #6)

    

    Need a win at Minnesota to right the ship.

12. Green Bay Packers (2-2) (last wk #14)

    

    Perfect time for a bye. Help was called in for O line… Was it enough?

13. Pittsburgh Steelers (3-2) (last wk #13)

    

    Less than impressive over Lions. Big Ben looked good on Monday Night Raw, though.

14. New York Jets (3-2) (last wk #9)

    

    They’re already figuring it out, Rex.

15. San Fransisco 49ers (3-2) (last wk #8)

    

    Ouch.

16. Miami Dolphins (2-3) (last wk #21)

    

    Right back in the thick of things.

17. Dallas Cowboys (3-2) (last wk #17)

    

    Need to figure out who they are soon…

18. San Diego Chargers (2-2) (last wk #18)

    

    Needed the rest.

19. Arizona Cardinals (2-2) (last wk #20)

    

    And that wasn’t the good version of the Texans.

20. Houston Texans (2-3) (last wk #15)

    

    Perfectly capable of beating top 10 teams, or losing to bottom 10.

21. Seattle Seahawks (2-3) (last wk #20)

    

    Was that a mirage? Or does Jacksonville suck? (or both?)

22. Carolina Panthers (1-3) (last wk #23)

    

    Miami’s doing it… Why not?

23. Detroit Lions (1-4) (last wk #25)

    

    May still only win 2 games, but they aren’t a joke anymore.

24. Jacksonville Jaguars (2-3) (last wk #16)

    

    What was that?

25. Buffalo Bills (1-4) (last wk #22)

    

    Buffalo fans should tar and feather every damn player on the team. 6-3? Cleveland? Shame on you.

26. Kansas City Chiefs (0-5) (last wk #27)

    

    Hard to see at 0-5, but they are improving.

27. Tennessee Titans (0-5) (last wk #26)

    

    The most spectacular fall in NFL history

28. Washington Redskins (2-3) (last wk #29)

    

    ‘Skins are like Santa Clause; bringing wins to the poor little winless teams.

29. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-5) (last wk #30)

    

    The Bucs should consider bringing the old uniforms back, cause this sure looks like the 80’s version.

30. Oakland Raiders (1-4) (last wk #28)

    

    Becoming repititious…. JaMarcus sucks, Raiders lose.

31. Cleveland Browns (1-4) (last wk #31)

    

    How do they win their first game and still remain the 2nd worst team in football? 6-3. 2 completions. ‘Nuff said.

32. St Louis Rams (0-5) (last wk #32)

    

    It’s like watching the awful auditions on American Idol; sad, but almost funny.
