NFL power rankings Surprising Giants Jet
Week 6 in the NFL was a great showcase for the strong top two teams in Sporting News' power rankings to further flex in front of big national audiences. As for some other familiar playoff contenders in the NFC and AFC, it was a rough week, giving upset-minded upstarts more legs.There's no change in the best teams from each conference as the Eagles and Bills won huge games against rivals. The NFC division races got tighter acro s the board, while there's more cloudine s in the AFC wild-card picture.With that in mind and considering the four teams on bye, here's how all 32 teams stack up against each other going into Week 7:IYER: 1. Philadelphia Eagles 6-0 (previous ranking: 1)The Eagles rolled out of the gate against the Cowboys with more of their efficient, explosive and balanced offense. They backed it up with sharp pa s defense from Darius "Big Play" Slay and others to bring Cooper Rush crashing down to earth. But they still need to work finishing games as well as they start them to stay undefeated.2. Buffalo Bills 5-1 (2)The Bills made their share of offensive mistakes with Josh Allen against a game Chiefs' defense, but in the end, Von Miller' Quentin Richardson Jersey s pa s rush and their active secondary made the difference against Patrick Mahomes. There's no doubt they are heavy AFC championship favorites now.MORE: 3. Kansas City Chiefs 4-2 (3)The Chiefs fought the Bills hard with Mahomes, falling just one succe sful po se sion short. Mahomes faced the better defense in Buffalo's, but it's encouraging for a potential rematch Kansas City's D hung in there well.4. New York Giants 5-1 (7)The Giants can be considered "for real" only a game behind the Eagles with their lone lo s coming to the Cowboys. They took advantage of a weak schedule early, but their Packers and Ravens victories stamp their inspired all-around arrival under coach of the year frontrunner Brian Daboll.5. Minnesota Vikings 5-1 (8)Daboll's biggest competition may come from another offensive-minded rookie coach. Kevin O'Connell has unlocked the Vikings to become more explosive around Kirk Cousins with skill principals Dalvin Cook, Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen and Irv Smith Jr. They are a strong threat to steal the NFC North from the Packers, whom they beat soundly in Week 1.

Los Angeles Chargers 4-2 (10)The Chargers have quietly fought through their rash of offensive and defensive injuries to get two games above .500 and they continued with just enough from Justin Herbert and Austin Ekeler on Monday night against the battered Danilo Gallinari Jersey Broncos.7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers 3-3 (4)The Bucs seemed like they were going through the motions around Tom Brady offensively with poor execution while the defense did its best. Tampa Bay needs to find its explosive self, stat, to do more than win the weak NFC South one more time with Brady.8. San Francisco 49ers 3-3 (5)The 49ers went from Carolina to Atlanta with a stop in West Virginia and forget how to protect the ball and work over a weak defense. So much for the Kyle Shanahan revenge result against the Falcons. Perhaps they were looking ahead to a Super Bowl rematch with the Chiefs?9. Dallas Cowboys 4-2 (6)The Cowboys fought hard in the second half to push the Eagles but they mi s the extra firepower they have with Dak Prescott. Credit the defense for fighting hard to facilitate the rally, but it needs more of the burden of winning relieved.10. Tenne see Titans Jordan Ford Jersey 3-2 (13)The Titans enjoyed their bye with a three-game winning streak to rest hammering Derrick Henry for the stretch run. Their defense is finding its usual gritty self despite some talent limitations and Ryan Tannehill is quieting any noise of losing his job. (Getty Images) 11. Cincinnati Bengals 3-3 (14)The Bengals are facing more challenges with their offense this season, but Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase and Joe Mixon were bound to work them out of it. Their defense is getting pushed around more, but the big plays will come there once the offense consistently starts faster.12. Los Angeles Rams 3-3 (15)The Rams needed that pull-away comeback win against the sputtering Panthers. Matthew Stafford still made a critical mistake, but the Sean McVay and the team helped him, working to spread the ball around in the pa sing and running games. The defense also needed it as a get-well game.13. Baltimore Ravens 3-3 (9)The Ravens ran into the Giants' buzzsaw and couldn't hold another late lead. They need more of an aggre sive pour-it-on pa sing game with Lamar Jackson and better pa s defense to keep avoiding that frustration.14. New York Jets 4-2 (16)The Jets joined the cro stown Giants in stomping the Packers. They are played inspired defensive-minded football for Robert Saleh with rookie Nicolas Batum Jersey Sauce Gardner and many other changes paying off. The run-heavy offense keeps rocking with rookie Breece Hall to lift Zach Wilson.15. Green Bay Packers 3-3 (11)What was that? The Packers looked home hungover after going from Lambeau to London. They should have run the ball better and played better run defense, because their pa sing game with Aaron Rodgers and pa s defense with Jaire Alexander really need that support. (Getty Images) 16. New England Patriots 3-3 (17)The Patriots' defense has a sembled the ideal places on every level for Bill Belichick and per usual, they improve with each game. The running game has been great with Rhamondre Stevenson in the lead, but it's really the QB play of Bailey Zappe that has sparked them back into wild-card contention.17. Indianapolis Colts 3-2-1 (18)The Colts looked like an offensive disaster with Matt Ryan under Frank Reich early, but credit them for fighting back with Ryan playing much better through clutch moments and the running game getting on track, even without a healthy Jonathan Taylor. Michael Pittman Jr. and Alec Pierce are quickly becoming a dangerous receiving duo.18. Miami Dolphins 3-3 (12)The Dolphins have gone from 3-0 to 3-3 in a blink, and it goes beyond their injury-marred revolving door at quarterback. Their defense is starting to be exposed with shaky coverage and giving up chunk runs. They are trending to an anomalous freefall out of the playoffs.19. Atlanta Falcons 3-3 (25)The Falcons have just about been in every game with Arthur Smith getting the most out of Marcus Mariota and a run-heavy offense with a calculated pa sing attack. The defense has played over its head at times but Rayjon Tucker Jersey that will get more challenging with the cornerback injuries.20. Seattle Seahawks 3-3 (26)The Seahawks' offense has been efficient, versatile and sometimes explosive with Geno Smith along his talented wide receivers and tight ends behind an improved
