NFL Power Rankings Week 6: Green Bay Packers and 3 Teams Asserting Their Power

Another week, another feather goes firmly in the hat of the Green Bay Packers. They are not the only team to continue their domination. The NFL has a few success stories of note.  

A nation of haters has become so enraptured with the contenders that have fallen in the power rankings. It's time to forget all about the Eagles, Jets and their continued futility. 

This is all about the feel-good stories in the league. The best of the bunch are the Green Bay Packers and their machine that continues to steam roll their way to the postseason. 

The first few weeks have given us confidence in some preseason assumptions, and torn others asunder. One sentiment that remains safe is that the Packers are still the team to beat. 

Here are three teams that continue to rise in the rankings. 

1. Green Bay Packers

 The Packers remain stagnant in the rankings, largely because they continue to win, ensuring their place at the top week after week. 

The Falcons came out with confidence on Sunday, only to submit from the unrelenting perfection that is Aaron Rodgers. Nearly ever receiver and tight end was involved as Rodgers threw the ball all over the field. 

The secondary still has issues, but they are negated when the offense is rolling like this. 

2. New England Patriots

 The Patriots continued their offensive onslaught against a flailing New York Jets squad. Sunday gave us a clear picture enjoying very different form of momentum right now. 

The Jets have lost their swagger and it's killing the defense. The Patriots are proving you can win despite a porous defense. You just need Tom Brady and a flourishing running game. 

3. Buffalo Bills

It's hard to question the Bills at this point in the season. They have bested a good amount of the teams we thought were shoe-ins for the postseason. Wins against the Patriots and Eagles have them safely labeled as contenders. 

The offense was clicking on Sunday, but what I really enjoyed seeing was the energy they had on defense. Their energy gave them four interceptions thanks to tipped balls and wrestling matches at the point of reception. The Bills just wanted it more.
