NFL Power Rankings Week 5: A New No. 1 for the Second Week in a Row

Week 4 of the 2010 NFL season is in the books and it is that time of the week to update the NFL power rankings.

Another week, another set of surprises.

The Kansas City Chiefs are the final undefeated team in the NFL after both the Bears and Steelers lost their first game of the season.

Yes.

The Chiefs.

Week 5 will be tough for the Chiefs since they get to face the Indianapolis Colts, who just lost their second game of the season and Peyton Manning will be playing as hard as ever.

Without delay, I am Daniel Wolf and I am the AFC Featured Content Coordinator and Assignment Desk Editor for Bleacher Report and here are your NFL power rankings.

Last game: Lost 38-14 to Jets

Last week's ranking: 31

Bills drop because they are relying on quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick this season (look for a first round quarterback in the 2011 NFL Draft, guaranteed) and for unknown reasons the Bills cannot get C.J. Spiller, Marshawn Lynch, or Fred Jackson going in the running game.

Major problems in Buffalo.

Last game: Lost 41-14 to Pats

Last week's ranking: 14

Quarterback Chad Henne has to stay away from the interception bug if the Fins are to be a contender in the AFC East and keep up with both the Jets and Pats.

Last game: BYE

Last week's ranking: 12

Last game: Won 16-14 over Niners

Last week's ranking: 5

The Falcons may have squeaked by the Niners, but they have also beat the Saints and put up an overtime fight against the Steelers in Week 1 too. The Falcons are the real deal.

Last game: Lost 17-14 to Ravens

Last week's ranking: 1

The Steelers are on a bye week now, but Big Ben comes back in Week 6 and he can easily jump start the Steelers' offense, which is much needed.

Last game: Won 28-26 over Lions

Last week's ranking: 4

Yes, so the Packers barely beat a winless Lions team, but if you look at the three teams that were ranked ahead of the Packers last week, all three lost and the logical choice is to move the Packers up. Tough to really pick a true No. 1 this early in the 2010 season though.
