NFL Power Rankings After 6 Weeks of Football<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

32. Tennessee Titans (1-5)<\/strong> – The Titans<\/a> firing of their head coach was the correct move. This team has been just dreadful to watch.<\/p>\n

31. New York Jets (0-6)<\/strong> – I\u2019ll continue to say it, this Jets<\/a> roster on paper is much better than their record shows. Maybe Glenn wasn\u2019t the correct head coach hire.<\/p>\n

30. Miami Dolphins (1-5)<\/strong> – Miami<\/a> let the game slip away with 50 seconds to go. I believe the next head coach hire is coming from South Beach. It\u2019s kinda ironic that both head coaches wearing capri-like pants are 1-11 this season.<\/p>\n

29. New Orleans Saints (1-5)<\/strong> – This Saints<\/a> team, which is a mixture of vets and young guys, definitely shows up each week. But let\u2019s be honest, they aren\u2019t winning many games this season. Time to trade vets for draft capital.<\/p>\n

28. Las Vegas Raiders (2-4)<\/strong> – The Raiders<\/a> defense scored more fantasy points on Sunday than it has scored in the first five weeks combined. Still, I\u2019m not impressed, as they beat up on the terrible Titans and only won by 10 points.<\/p>\n

27. Cleveland Browns (1-5)<\/strong> – The Browns<\/a> are as scrappy a team as you\u2019ll find. They play very good defense, and most games are in sight. Ignore the record; this team shows up to battle each week.<\/p>\n

26. Arizona Cardinals (2-4)<\/strong> – I probably should be ranking this Cardinals<\/a> team lower because it has the feel of a sinking ship, but I\u2019ll give them one more week.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

25. New York Giants (2-4)<\/strong> – The Giants<\/a> had their Super Bowl in Week 6, beating the defending champs at home. This team has some pieces, but ultimately, I don\u2019t see them winning more than 5 games this season.<\/p>\n

24. Carolina Panthers (3-3)<\/strong> – The Panthers<\/a> escaped another home victory. Yet, I\u2019m not sold on this team. I don\u2019t trust Bryce Young on the road.<\/p>\n

23. Houston Texans (2-3)<\/strong> – The Texans<\/a>, coming off an early bye week, head to the Pacific Northwest for a showdown with the Seahawks on Monday Night Football. It\u2019s going to be a true test for this team.<\/p>\n

22. Cincinnati Bengals (2-4)<\/strong> – The Bengals<\/a> have lost four straight. The bright side is that the defense looked better than normal against the Packers. Joe Flacco and the offense started to click in the second half, but unfortunately, it was too late.<\/p>\n

21. Baltimore Ravens (1-5)<\/strong> – Another home loss for the Ravens<\/a>. Help should be on the way soon with Lamar Jackson returning.<\/p>\n

20. Dallas Cowboys (2-3-1)<\/strong> – Dak to Pickens has been on fire. Sadly, the Cowboys<\/a> defense can\u2019t stop anyone. Dropping the ball in Week 6 to the subpar Panthers.<\/p>\n

19. Minnesota Vikings (3-2)<\/strong> – The Vikings<\/a> come off a bye week to face the angry Eagles team at home in Week 7.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

18. Washington Commanders (3-3)<\/strong> – What a back-and-forth battle it was Monday night for this Commanders<\/a> team. A late fumble by Daniels was costly.<\/p>\n

17. San Francisco 49ers (4-2)<\/strong> – The 49ers<\/a>‘ record is fantastic, but unfortunately, their injury report isn\u2019t. Way too many injuries to overcome.<\/p>\n

16. Pittsburgh Steelers (4-1)<\/strong> – This is my fraud alert so far this season. Not buying the Steelers<\/a>‘ record; they\u2019ve barely beaten anyone good. Tough games upcoming.<\/p>\n

15. Atlanta Falcons (3-2)<\/strong> – Huge win for the Falcons<\/a> in Week 6. First Monday night home football game in seven years, and they didn\u2019t disappoint.<\/p>\n

14. Chicago Bears (3-2)<\/strong> – The Bears<\/a> have been on a roll the last three games. The victories may not be pretty, but a win is a win in the NFL. This ranking could change if the team makes this rumored trade<\/a>.<\/p>\n

13. Jacksonville Jaguars (4-2)<\/strong> – The Jags<\/a> followed up their Week 5 victory by laying an egg against a Seahawks team that had to travel across the country for an early game.<\/p>\n

12. Los Angeles Chargers (4-2)<\/strong> – The Chargers<\/a> were 50 seconds away from losing to the Miami Dolphins. This team has stumbled the past few weeks.<\/p>\n

11. Philadelphia Eagles (4-2)<\/strong> – I\u2019ve stated it the last few weeks in my articles, I am not sold on the 2025 Eagles<\/a>, and in Week 6, they proved me correct. Let\u2019s see how they rebound at Minnesota in week 7.<\/p>\n

Read on for the Top 10 teams in our NFL Power Rankings<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

10. Los Angeles Rams (4-2)<\/strong> – The Rams<\/a> unimpressed me again in Week 6. Once again, Puka in the medical tent is rumored to be out for a few games with an ankle injury.<\/p>\n

9. Green Bay Packers (3-1-1)<\/strong> – The Packers<\/a> leaned on Josh Jacobs once again and picked up the victory in Week 6. Still, I\u2019m not completely sold on Jordan Love going up against elite defenses.<\/p>\n

8. Indianapolis Colts (5-1)<\/strong> – Kudos to the Colts<\/a>. They have been playing great football in all three phases.<\/p>\n

7. New England Patriots (4-2)<\/strong> – The Patriots<\/a> woke up today atop the AFC East standings, and it\u2019s the first time since 2019. Let\u2019s see how they do in Week 7 in a potential trap game against Vrabel\u2019s old Tennessee squad.<\/p>\n

6. Seattle Seahawks (4-2)<\/strong> – The only question mark I have with the Seahawks<\/a> is their obsession with Zach Charbonnet. Walker is the superior runner in this outside zone scheme.<\/p>\n

5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5-1)<\/strong> – Todd Bowles needs to be in the Coach of the Year conversation. The Buccaneers<\/a> have been injury-riddled, but they still keep winning.<\/p>\n

4. Detroit Lions (4-2)<\/strong> – The Lions<\/a> got punched in the mouth Sunday night against the Chiefs. They head into Week 7 with a matchup against an injury-riddled 5-1 Bucs team.<\/p>\n

3. Denver Broncos (4-2)<\/strong> – The Broncos<\/a> keep steamrolling their opponents, playing great defense, and running the rock.<\/p>\n

2. Buffalo Bills (4-2)<\/strong> – The Bills<\/a> get a much-needed bye week after dropping their second game in a row. Am I worried about this team? No, but maybe they should go trade for Chris Olave to give this offense a spark.<\/p>\n

1. Kansas City Chiefs (3-3)<\/strong> – I\u2019m sure this ranking will irritate a lot of folks, but let\u2019s be honest, the Chiefs<\/a> look night and day different from last year\u2019s squad, which went to the Super Bowl. Enter Rashee Rice back into the lineup for Week 7, and things are about to get interesting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
