NFL Power Rankings Week 6

1. Denver Broncos

Not a good game Sunday, but they'll be getting Von Miller back, and Peyton plays like he did in weeks 1-5 a lot more often than he plays like he did week 6 (surprisingly, 5 times more often this year).

2. Green Bay Packers

The running game has come alive this season. They shouldn't be allowing the Ravens to come within 2 points of them though.

3. Philadelphia Eagles

It's like everybody Chip sticks at QB turns into Joe Montana. Too bad they don't have Ronnie Lott on D.

4. Seattle Seahawks

Pretty unlucky for the second game in a row: They played at a level where they should have won by at least 3 scores. But their offense just hasn't been on the level of the teams above them this season.

5. San Francisco 49ers

This is a good team. They still have one of the best defenses and offensive lines in the NFL, even if they're not the all-time great units they were last season.

6. New York Jets

They looked bad against the Steelers, but that defense still is going to keep the Jets in games all season.

7. Cincinnati Bengals

They actually feel a lot like the Jets. Mediocre offense that can still make some plays at times, and a really good defense that looked worse than it really is.

8. Houston Texans

This is the second unluckiest team in the NFL. They played well enough to beat the Rams on Sunday, and they just had everything go wrong. The pass protection has to improve though. And something feels weird with JJ Watt. No tackles for the best player in the world? Then again, the Rams didn't play much offense on Sunday. Just a bunch of big returns.

9. Carolina Panthers

The quarterback was amazing. Good for him. This team cam still win the division.

10. San Diego Chargers

We all got to see this pretty good team beat the average Colts. on Monday night. If their offense had played on the level it had played at all season, the game might have been a lot uglier.

11. New York Giants

Yet another game of dominating the opposition only to let a few fluke plays turn the game in the other direction. The fluke plays will regress to the mean, or at least close to it.

12. Cleveland Browns

They had this game. They really should have won it. They played a lot better, especially on the ground. But they're the Browns. Shit happens. Especially in the front seat of Petey's car.

13. Pittsburgh Steelers

Props to them for finally winning a game. They deserved to win this one too, against a pretty good opponent, at least defensively. Ben Fuckfuckfuckfuck outplayed Geno by quite a bit.

14. Washington Redskins

Huh? Didn't expect that. But their game was a lot like the Browns' game. They looked better than the Cowboys on Sunday (even gaining 216 yards rushing), but just some turnovers and special teams plays killed them.

15. Oakland Raiders

They turned the ball over too much, but they held Kansas City to 105 yards passing. This team is a lot better than they get credit for.

16. Indianapolis Colts

They did a surprisingly good job defensively against a really good Chargers offense, but the fact is that the Colts really are just an average team.

17. Tennessee Titans

They were bad and really lucky on Sunday. Not lucky enough. They need their hurt Locker to come back.

18. Kansas City Chiefs

They don't deserve to be perfect by any means, nor to have won more than 3 games, but I will give credit where credit is due. The defense is probably a top 10 unit. And the offense is bottom 5. They won't keep up this charade for long.

19. New Orleans Saints

For most of that game, they played amazingly against the Pats. Amazingly enough that they shouldn't have had to deal with the final drive. But they did, and they blew it. The D is not good.

20. Baltimore Ravens

Good job for them playing the Packers so close. But this just isn't a good offense without Joe Flacco going ham like he did for a few games last year that happened to be at just the right time.

21. Chicago Bears

The Bears are who we thought they were. Well, not really. They've almost turned into an offensive juggernaut. And a defense that, just like last year, has made a lot of big plays and will regress in the second half of the season.

22. Arizona Cardinals

They really weren't so bad against a good 49ers team. Cut down on the turnovers and they could have even won.

23. Minnesota Vikings

Newton cam to Minnesota and just dominated. AD was actually pretty good though. But he only got 10 carries.

24. Dallas Cowboys

They got gashed by the Redskins. That defense is bad. Tony Romo is the only thing holding this team together, but he's done a good enough job for 1st place in the division.

25. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Why do they even exist? I shouldn't say that. They actually did a better job against the Eagle's run game than everybody else. Part of that is Vick's absence though. Glennon wasn't great, but he brought a spark to the passing game they hadn't seen all year.

26. Buffalo Bills

See last week entry. I actually just don't care to talk about them. I mean, they're from Buffalo. Buffalo?

27. New England Patriots

Yes, 27th. They were bad against a bad Saints team, what can I say? I don't care if the two teams have 2 losses between them or that the Patriots have Tom Brady. They did an awful job protecting him and an awful job catching his passes for most of the game. And they don't stop the run very well without Wilfork either.

28. Detroit Lions

Worse teams win. Better teams lose. They were better last year. Just a lot unluckier.

29. Miami Dolphins

See #28

30. Atlanta Falcons

The only way they don't get gashed is by taking the week off. Worst defense in the NFL.

31. Jacksonville Jaguars

Justin Blackmon has completely revitalized the offense. The defense isn't even looking that bad. Wouldn't it be awesome if they went on a run and won the divsion?

32. St. Louis Rams

You can't trick the algorithm, St. Louis. It knows you still suck.
