NFL Power Rankings Week 6: Who Are the Clear Kings of the League?

Is there any doubt that the Green Bay Packers are currently the best team in the NFL?

After winning six games in a row (including the Super Bowl) to end the 2010 season, Aaron Rodgers and his Packers have opened the 2011 season with a 5-0 record. Green Bay is far and away the best team in the league right now and it doesn't look like the Packers will be slowed any time soon.

Rodgers has led his team from the front, putting up spectacular numbers along the way. So far this season, he has a quarterback rating of 122.9, which is best in the league by more than 13 points. That's just ridiculous.

Green Bay's offense ranks fourth in the NFL in total yards per game, averaging 428.6, and is also leading the league with an average of 34.6 points scored per game. With all that yardage and all of those points, the Packers haven't needed much out of their defense.

That's a good thing, because Green Bay's secondary has surrendered 299.8 passing yards per game, which is 30th in the NFL. Luckily, the Packers boast the league's third-best rushing defense (75.8 yards per game) to hold things together.

While there are concerns in the secondary and the offensive line has some holes, as long as Rodgers is throwing the ball the way he is, no one will challenge the Packers. This past Sunday night against Atlanta, the 27-year-old signal-caller hit 12 different receivers in his team's 25-14 win. That's incredible.

With a receiving corps that includes Donald Driver, Greg Jennings, James Jones, Jordy Nelson and emerging rookie Randall Cobb, plus tight end Jermichael Finely, it might just be impossible to cover the Packers on passing downs.

Until someone figures out a way to stop Rodgers and Green Bay's aerial attack, the Packers will own the league.
