Week 6 NFL Power Rankings
By Paul Novak
#20 Philadelphia Eagles 2-3
Michael Vick is out for this Sundays game. Do you see a trend here. Injuries have played a huge role early on this season. Nick Foles gets the start against the 0-5 Giants.
#19 San Diego Chargers 2-3
Phillip Rivers already has over 1,600 passing yards and has passed for 400+ in three of the last four games. Two of their three losses were by three points.
#18 Arizona Cardinals 3-2
The Cardinals defense, especially the pass rush should worry the Seahawks even when they have a healthy offensive line. The Cardinals and Seahawks play in week 7 and Percy Harvin might be back for that matchup.
#17 Tennessee Titans 3-2
Yet another QB out with a serious injury. Jake Locker was having his best season as a pro and now the Titans have to rely on Ryan Fitzpatrick to keep them in the playoff race.
#16 New York Jets 3-2
The Falcons lost at home to the New York Jets on Monday Night Football. Geno Smith has been exceptional for the Jets with game winning drives in three games already.
#15 Houston Texans 2-3
A week after barely losing to the Seahawks in overtime at Reliant Stadium, the Texans were humiliated by the 49ers 34-3 in San Francisco. Fans are calling for Matt Schaub‘s head and even going as far as to threaten him at his home. Shame on you Texans fans. In the end, it’s just a damn game!
#14 Dallas Cowboys 2-3
The game against the Broncos sums up Tony Romo‘s career pretty well. The Cowboys put up 48 points against the top team in the NFL and lost.
#13 Miami Dolphins 3-2
Mike Wallace is upset again, this time after the Dolphins second straight loss after starting the season 3-0. Wallace won’t be seeing too many targets if the Dolphins can’t keep Ryan Tannehill on his feet.
#12 Detroit Lions 3-2
Matthew Stafford doesn’t look like much of a Pro Bowl quarterback when All-World receiver Calvin Johnson isn’t on the field.
#11 Chicago Bears 3-2
After starting off 3-0 the Bears have lost their last two. Remember last season when they imploded after starting off hot? It might be another year of missing the playoffs if they don’t get on track.
