Eagles Stay On Top for 3rd Straight Week, But Other NFC East Contenders Rise
This week’s NFL Power Rankings feature the same three teams at the top, but a major shift in Week 5 separated the pack. At the moment, I’ve got two teams who are head-and-shoulders above the league, but that could change in an instant given the Week 6 matchups. Four of this Sunday’s games feature eight different teams in our top 10, including the top AFC and NFC teams going head-to-head (Eagles-Cowboys, Bills-Chiefs, Ravens-Giants, and Vikings-Dolphins). Get ready to see the best of the NFL test each other’s strengths. Here’s a look at our rankings after five weeks.
