Week 5 is in the books and two teams remain undefeated \u2013 2! There is no movement at the top of the Rankings this week but further down some teams have tumbled and others have shot up. You absolutely have to love the parity of the NFL don\u2019t ya? \u00a0<\/p>\n
Enough talk \u2013 let\u2019s get on with Dave B\u2019s Week 6 edition of the Rankings!<\/p>\n
1. TEXANS<\/strong> (1) \u2013 it is pretty hard to doubt one of the most complete teams in the NFL. On defense they are nasty and on offense they have two of the top weapons in the league \u2013 Andre Johnson and Arian Foster. As one of the two undefeated teams left Houston gets the call as the #1 team again.<\/p>\n 2. FALCONS<\/strong> (2) \u2013 the other undefeated team has to be #2. This team is simply finding a way to get it done every week \u2013 sometimes not pretty. But with White, Jones and Tony Gonzalez who reeled in 13 balls Sunday and a running game hitting their stride they will be tough to stop even on the road where they are 3-0 this year.<\/p>\n 3. 49ERS<\/strong> (3) \u2013 The Niners have outscored their opposition 79-3 in the last two weeks \u2013 insane! They laid one egg this year and that was against a surprisingly good Vikings team. In Week 5 they gained 300+ yards in the air and 300+ yards on the ground \u2013 IN THE SAME GAME. San Fran is a serious contender and worthy of a top 3 spot.<\/p>\n 4. BEARS<\/strong> (6) \u2013 looked awful in Week 2 but since then have reeled off three straight wins with the defense looking completely overwhelming scoring two defensive touchdowns in two straight weeks. Chicago leads the NFC North and with the Cutler\/Marshall tandem heating up, this team could be top 5 for a while.<\/p>\n 5. RAVENS<\/strong> (4) \u2013 The Ravens haven\u2019t been overwhelming this season and Week 5 was no exception \u2013 a 9-6 win over KC. The defense hasn\u2019t been quite the same but at this point we are willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. They will need to start impressing or risk falling further down the Rankings.<\/p>\n 6. PATRIOTS<\/strong> (8) \u2013 The Pats have run for over 200 yards in each of their last two games and the passing game hasn\u2019t slowed much along the way. Finally balanced on offense, the Pats look like the most menacing offense in the league once again \u2013 nice to see Wes Welker getting involved too!<\/p>\n 7. VIKINGS<\/strong> (14) \u2013 are a surprising 4-1 on the season \u2013 when the offense struggles the defense and special teams picks them up. Minnesota is a total team and the presence of Percy Harvin doesn\u2019t hurt either.<\/p>\n 8. GIANTS<\/strong> (10) \u2013 The G-Men were banged up on offense heading into Week 5 and produced a very impressive effort. Ahmad Bradshaw is back to form \u2013 now if the defense would kick it up a notch!<\/p>\n 9. STEELERS<\/strong> (13) \u2013 beat the Eagles in Week 5. The return of James Harrison and Rashard Mendenhall make this team a whole lot better \u2013 now they have the honor of facing the Titans in Week 6.<\/p>\n 10. CHARGERS<\/strong> (9) \u2013 hung tough in a game that they seemed to be fighting an uphill battle at New Orleans in Week 5. Still this team looks good \u2013 the defense has impressed and Ryan Matthews finally looks healthy.<\/p>\n 11. EAGLES<\/strong> (7) \u2013 way too many turnovers \u2013 the fact that they are 3-2 seems like a miracle doesn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n 12. CARDINALS<\/strong> (5) \u2013 I am still not a believer \u2013 especially after what the Rams did to them on Thursday night. Still at 4-1 they absolutely have to be in the top 15.<\/p>\n 13. PACKERS<\/strong> (11) \u2013 blew an 18 point lead on Sunday! The defense simply isn\u2019t getting it done at the moment. They hang onto a top 15 spot based on talent alone \u2013 the 2-3 record is deserved but a #13 ranking may not be! [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n 14. RAMS<\/strong> (18) \u2013 are undefeated at home and knocked off an undefeated team in Week 5. Jeff Fisher has this team playing physical ball but he needs some contributions on offense to support the very good defense.<\/p>\n 15. SEAHAWKS<\/strong> (19) Defense! Defense! This team isn\u2019t going to wow you but they will make life miserable. Seattle creeps into the top 15 based on a 3-2 record and insane defense.<\/p>\n 16. BENGALS (12)<\/strong> Dave B\u2019s NFL Power Rankings – Week 6 Week 5 is in the books and two teams remain undefeated \u2013 2!
