MC's NFL Power Rankings After Week Six

Every week that goes by during the NFL season we learn more about each team, I think.

The Broncos were a team that got lucky against the Bengals and then merely just beat two bad teams; now they seem primed to get a first round bye.

The New York Jets and Baltimore Ravens looked like front runners in the AFC early one; they now each have lost three games in a row and the Jets lost NT Kris Jenkins for the year.

The Patriots offense led by Tom Brady were somewhat out of sync and were not going to look like their old selves this season, they just beat the Titans by 59 points...

I just got a headache. I'll just come out with my Week Six power rankings and wait for the inevitable and radical changes. in the coming week.

The Arizona Cardinals made the biggest jump in the standings going from 18th to 12. The New York Jets fell the hardest going from 8th to 16th.

And...here...we...go!

1. New Orleans Saints- They can throw the ball over the lot (See the Giants and Eagles games), run teams off the field (See the Bills game), and the defense can get scores of their own and win games (See the Jets game). What's not to love about this team? Previous ranking: 4

2. Minnesota Vikings- First 6-0 start of Brett Favre's career but the schedule is starting to get tougher starting with a match-up in Pittsburgh and a rematch with the Packers in Lambeau. Previous ranking: 2

3. Indianapolis Colts- Expect another 300 yard game for Mr. Peyton Manning at St. Louis next week fresh off a bye. Previous ranking: 3

4. Denver Broncos- I do a double take nearly every time I see the Broncos on defense after how abysmal they were last year. The Broncos have given up just ten total points all year in the 2nd half. Previous ranking: 5

5. New York Giants- The Giants in my opinion have a very average secondary that they have been able to get by with because they consistently get a lot of pressure on opposing QBs. The showing they put up against the Saints just won't do, especially against someone as potent as Drew Brees. Previous ranking: 1

6. New England Patriots- That 59 point shellacking against the Titans was shades of the 2007 Patriots. That's certainly not a good sign for the rest of the AFC. Previous ranking: 9
