The NFL's Week 5 slate of games came to a close last night with the New York Jets beating the Atlanta Falcons on Monday Night Football. With the conclusion of that game, we can now update our Phinsider NFL Power Rankings for Week 6.
Here are my power rankings for your review. Feel free to discuss them in the comments below:
| Team | LW | Change | Week 5 Result | Remarks | |
| 1 |
 |
1 | 0 | W, 51-48 @ Dallas | Congratulations to Peyton Manning for passing Dan Marino's passing yardage mark. |
| 2 |
 |
3 | 1 | W, 26-18 @ Chicago | If they can keep winning on the road as well as in the Superdome, they should sit atop the NFC all season. |
| 3 |
 |
4 | 1 | W, 26-17 @ Tennessee | I wonder if Andy Reid is a good coach? |
| 4 |
 |
6 | 2 | W, 34-28 vs Seattle | Wins over Seattle and San Francisco over the last three weeks has been impressive. |
| 5 |
 |
2 | -3 | L, 34-28 @ Indianapolis | Tennessee will be tough, but being at home should allow Seattle to rebound this week. |
| 6 |
 |
7 | 1 | W, 22-9 vs Detroit | They may be only 2-2, but at this point, the Packers are starting to look like the Packers. |
| 7 |
 |
9 | 2 | W, 34-3 vs Houston | San Francisco appears to have righted the ship after a few bad weeks. |
| 8 |
 |
11 | 3 | W, 13-6 vs New England | Any time you hold New England to two field goals, it's an impressive performance. |
| 9 |
 |
5 | -4 | L, 13-6 @ Cincinnati | Was a 5.1 yards per attempt, 47% completion rate an aberration for Tom Brady, or has the lack of receivers finally started to catch up? |
| 10 |
 |
8 | -2 | L, 26-18 vs New Orleans | Chicago outplayed New Orleans players not named Jimmy Graham or Drew Brees. Too bad those two guys exist. |
| 11 |
 |
14 | 3 | W, 26-23 @ Miami | Ray Rice ran for 74 yards and 2 TDs, which is a positive, but a 2.7 yards per carry average is a negative. Either way, they come out with the W. |
| 12 |
 |
16 | 4 | W, 37-24 vs Buffalo | Been saying it all year long: this defense is for real. |
| 13 |
 |
10 | -3 | L, 26-23 vs Baltimore | Six more sacks. Really should fall further, but everyone in the middle of the pack seems to have lost this week. |
| 14 |
 |
12 | -2 | L, 22-9 @ Green Bay | Megatron wasn't playing. They need Megatron to play. |
| 15 |
 |
15 | 0 | L, 34-3 @ San Francisco | It was a nice streak of 2 years winning the AFC South. Doesn't look like they will make it three straight. |
| 16 |
 |
13 | -3 | L, 30-28 vs New York Jets | Maybe should have kicked the field goal at the end of the first half. Just maybe. |
| 17 |
 |
17 | 0 | L, 26-17 vs Kansas City | Having to start Ryan Fitzpatrick against an undefeated team, and playing them hard until a late game rally, keeps Tennessee in place despite the loss. |
| 18 |
 |
24 | 6 | W, 30-28 @ Atlanta | Rex Ryan making the defensive play calls really helps this team. Probably should be above ATL, but couldn't justify that big a jump. |
| 19 |
 |
19 | 0 | L, 51-48 vs Denver | How on Earth can you honestly say this loss is on Tony Romo. 506 yards, 5 TD passes, and 1 INT. Incredible. If a defense, I don't know, existed, maybe Dallas could have won. |
| 20 |
 |
22 | 2 | W, 36-21 @ New York Giants | A two position jump for beating the hapless New York Giants at this point seems a little too much. |
| 21 |
 |
23 | 2 | W, 22-6 vs Carolina | Seven sacks and three interceptions kept the Arizona in the game, despite Carson Palmer's three picks of his own. |
| 22 |
 |
25 | 3 | W, 34-20 vs Jacksonville | This game was probably closer than it should have been. |
| 23 |
 |
28 | 5 | W, 27-17 vs San Diego | Oakland simply outplayed San Diego on the late, late, late Sunday night game. |
| 24 |
 |
20 | -4 | L, 22-2 @ Arizona | And the "Should Carolina bench Cam Newton?" talk is getting louder. |
| 25 |
 |
18 | -7 | L, 27-17 @ Oakland | Huh. Maybe that's why Richard Marshall was released. Makes more sense now. |
| 25 |
 |
21 | -4 | L, 37-24@ Cleveland | Buffalo lost to a really good Cleveland defense, so there's no shame there. The fact that they are getting ready to start practice squad QB Thaddeus Lewis could have some. |
| 27 |
 |
26 | -1 | BYE | Kind of rough to lose a position during your bye week. |
| 28 |
 |
27 | -1 | BYE | And again. |
| 29 |
 |
30 | 1 | BYE | Kind of lucky to gain a position during your by week. |
| 30 |
 |
31 | 1 | BYE | Why are all the bye week teams grouped together? |
| 31 |
 |
29 | -2 | L, 36-21 vs Philadelphia | I strongly considered moving Jacksonville out of the bottom slot to make room for the New York Giants. It's that bad. |
| 32 |
 |
32 | 0 | L, 34-20 @ St. Louis | St. Louis was probably the best shot to get a win before the Week 9 bye week. Between now and then, Jacksonville is at Denver and home against San Diego and San Francisco. |
